Decision Favors Widow of Superman Creator in 'Smallville' Suit


 A federal judge in Los Angeles has poured Kryptonite over The WB's Smallville, granting a summary judgment to the widow and daughter of Jerry Siegel, one of the two creators of the Superman character. As reported by Daily Variety, the ruling by Judge Ronald S.W. Lew observed that Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson had successfully recaptured the copyright to Superboy in 2004; it also denied a request by Time Warner, Warner Bros, and DC Comics to issue a ruling that Smallville did not infringe on Superboy copyrights. "Enough facts are presented, where this court, contrary to defendants' request, could find that the main character in Smallville is in fact Superboy," the judge ruled. Warner Bros. told the trade paper that it plans an appeal.

WOW...I don't like this news at all. I've really gotten into Smallville this season, and I'd hate to see anything throw a monkey wrench into the gears now!

What seems to be the problem?

Superboy isn't the same character as Superman (as a boy), is it?

Technically Superman was Superboy while growing up in Smallville. I think, pretty sure.

While we're on the subject of Smallville, did you see Lois Lane (Erica Durance) in FHM? Damn I always tell Dave she's way finer than Lana.
