As I read the latest chapter of the ongoing battle between Warner Bros and the families of Shuster and Siegel, I got to thinking. What if the seemingly impossible happenned and Warner Bros/DC ended up losing the rights? What would the relatives of the creators do with Superman? Let's put logic to one side for a moment and just imagine that they sold them to Marvel/Disney.
The copyright for Superman ends in 2013 and it's this that Shuster's nephew and Siegel's wife and daughter are battling for. The reason I said to put logic aside was because I'm sure there is plenty of legal mumbo jumbo pertaining to the rights of logos and names and the family probably wouldnt be able to just auction the character off to the highest bidder. On the other hand, maybe they could.
Regardless, I came up with this poll to find out what you guys would think of this. What if Superman joined the Avengers? Can you imagine him battling alongside Captain America, Iron Man and Thor? Would he find his place in the Marvel Universe and what kind of state would the DC one be left in without him? Can you see him making his way to the big screen in a future Avengers movie? Vote below and share your thoughts in the usual place!
Providing we get a decent amount of votes, the results of this poll will be announced in three days time on Sunday 21st! Thanks for reading.
