Icarus27k Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 A sad fact of Hollywood is that while superheroes never truly die, all copyrights do. On Jan. 1, Disney lost control of “Steamboat Willie,” and within 24 hours two horror-comedies starring Mickey Mouse were announced. The DC characters are the next major expirations looming on the horizon. Superman and Lois Lane will enter the public domain in 2034, followed by Batman in 2035, the Joker in 2036 and Wonder Woman in 2037. https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/superman-batman-copyrights-expire-dc-public-domain-superheroes-wonder-woman-1235875386/ It's going to be fun seeing other people's interpretations. You know they are going to have them ready to release on the first day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoverDemon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) You know what's fucked? Despite all the fucked up shit that fans will probably do, it won't be worse than what DC/Warner has done to these characters. Cheers! Will see you all in 10 years, for the first round, first round is on me. And the real horror movie? They still have 10 years to do even more.
