DC Studios’ Superman Will Soar Globally After Warner Bros. Legal Win
A lawsuit brought by the estate of Superman co-creator Joseph Schuster which attempted to block the film’s release in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom—thanks to an old law kink that could have prevented James Gunn’s film from opening in any country that was once ruled by the British Crown—will not be moving forward.

Even before it hit comic shelves this week, people went crazy for a leaked image of Batman and Shadow’s first encounter in the pages of DC x Sonic #1.
