Warner Bros. Wins Dismissal of ‘Superman’ Foreign Copyright Suit

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging Warner Bros.' Superman copyright in multiple overseas territories.
The lawsuit, filed by the estate of co-creator Joseph Shuster, claimed rights under foreign laws and international treaties.
The suit sought to block the studio's tentpole film release and sought profits in countries including the UK and Canada.
U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman ruled, "The Court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over this case."
This dismissal means the lawsuit seeking injunctive relief against the studio will not move forward.
