DC Comics

This needs a more comprehensive approach.

there are other books that have been written and I'm not putting down any of them but time has passed the litigation didn't even end until 2016 for Pete's sake so any book before then clearly does not have the end of the story where they finally reach us that's why today comic books all say you know underneath the credit for Siegel and Schuster it says by special arrangement with the Jerry Siegel family that's a product of 70 years of fighting that's why joe schuster's family is not in there because they didn't fight as you probably know when joe passed his sister who was his executor panicked and he only he had about twenty thousand dollars of debt which was not insurmountable but she didn't know what to do but so she wrote dc comics and and said hey could you guys help this out with uh with this and i bet you've already predicted the response the response was yeah sure we'd be happy to all you have to do is sign this piece of paper and they did and they gave away all their rights to basically do what the seagull family did

William, some years ago, at the Friars Club in Los Angeles, I would meet a lot of the old timers.

And one of the old timers I met was a guy who was an attorney, little attorneys, like a little elf, total wisdom, he was coming out of his eyeballs.

And at this point, we're in the 21st century.

It looked like the Siegel family and DC, I say, but actually the litigation was handled by Warner.

That's, as you probably know, the parent company that... that at least today owns DC Comics.

That could change any minute.

I think it's worth noting that Clayface, you could call it.

Look, I think the DC brand is broken.

I mean, this is a DC Comics movie debuting with 24 million.

And we'll talk about Clayface in a moment.

But box office wise, I mean, even Morbius debut with 39 million.

You can't just slap a superhero logo on something and have it make money now.

Any thoughts on the box office right there?

I wonder if Clayface would do better if it wasn't under the DC umbrella.
