so dc's superman cant fly?? and all the other things you just posted? just need clarification.
Nah, he's saying the Superman that the family has rights to can't fly. In the beginning he just jumped around.
The current movie has started production already, that's why. The rights won't go to the heirs until 2013, which is why WB rushed Man Of Steel into production so they could have the movie out before the end of 2012 and therefore not be blocked by the heirs.
To make it perfectly clear, the Siegel/Shuster heirs only own the things established about Superman in Action Comics #1. This means that they'll get the rights to his entire origin of Krypton (I'm not sure if this includes the Kents, but it involves the whole "dying scientists from Krypton sends his infant to earth" story), his alter-ego as Clark Kent, Lois Lane and the Daily Planet. Every element of Superman that was introduced after AC #1 remains DC property.

Judd Winick on Catwoman and Batwing? Interesting, just a shame he won't be on JLI after his awesome work on Generation Lost. Also, I don't get why Snyder and Daniel get switched for Batman and Detective Comics. My only guess is that Batman is the main book and needs to be actually well written, which is why they said 'Fuck you' to Daniel and got Snyder, but still...
For the rest it's great to see Morrison on Action Comics (if true) but I'm a bit surprised that Cornell, after his great Luthor arc on AC, won't be writing a big book. In fact, while the concept of Demon Knights sounds awesome, I hope he won't get 'shafted' too much.
Giffen on an OMAC book? I'm curious.
http://www.comicsbeat.com/2011/06/07...-by-august-31/Publishing | Heidi MacDonald reports that DC Comics Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee sent a memo to creators working on titles for the “New DCU” relaunch requiring them to have three issues completed by Aug. 31, “no exceptions.” “If that criterion cannot be met,” the memo states, “we’ve instructed Editorial to begin work at that time on material that will be able to meet the deadlines for the series.
Because movie rights work VERY VERY differently from comic book rights. Contrary to what Doom said though the heirs ain't getting squat. WB owns the rights to the films now if they don't move within the next 4 years the rights could be up for grabs and thus the heirs could get them. Since WB will have the movie out by next year then like Kryp said it automatically renews the rights for them for another decade then when they do a sequel a decade after that sequel etc.
Will definitely get these. Gotta love the fact that they've given Lemire so many books and got Wood on Supergirl too. VERTIGO talent stays winning.
