"Superboy" legal issues

[Mike_D202]

I know that they tried suing Smallville for it being too similar to "Superboy", but I was curious if they would try again if Clark doned the suit or learned how to fly. He doesnt have to call himself "Superboy", but he can go by "SuperMAN". In the new cartoon "Legion of Superheros" that made its debut recently, they did just that.

I hope that when they end the series or close to it, they keep that in mind so we CAN see Clark the way we've been wanting to see him for 5+ years now.

The name Superboy was already taken, if you recall Leech in Season 1
besides, Clark is what? 19-20? that's hardly a "boy" anymore

 

[Eddie Brock]

Superboy was 19/20 on the 80s televsion series. He was going to Shuster college.

well that's just plain ******ed, frankly
that's almost legal drinking age (in the US), so you're only a boy then to really, really old people

We had a thread on this someplace any one?

I cant seem to get search to work right for me.

 

[Eddie Brock]

well anyway, they already used the name Superboy
so no worries

Didn't he fly in Zod???

 

[Mike_D202]

Yea the Lex/Zod hybrid through Clark acrossed the sky and then he basically flew while he had Clark.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Didn't he fly in Zod???

no
but Kal-El did in Crusade
which is SOOOO much different than Clark, right?

 

[Reptile]

How can the WB sue itself? I mean I know sections of the WB owns Superman and others own Batman but rather than go public why not settle it behind close doors?

It was the Siegel family that was suing WB/DC over the rights to Superboy.
