I'm happy about this decision.   :superman

LOS ANGELES -- DC Comics will retain its rights to Superman after a judge ruled Wednesday that the heirs of one of the superhero's co-creators signed away their ability to reclaim copyrights to the Man of Steel roughly 20 years ago.
The ruling means that DC Comics and its owner Warner Bros. will retain all rights to continue using the character in books, films, television and other mediums, including a the film reboot planned for next year.
DC Comics sued the heirs of artist Joe Shuster in 2010, seeking a ruling that they lost their ability to try to reclaim the superhero's copyrights in 1992. U.S. District Court Judge Otis Wright II agreed, stating that Shuster's sister and brother relinquished any chance to reclaim Superman copyrights in exchange for annual pension payments from DC Comics.

I hope this means that some of the changes made to the Superman mythos of late will revert. I had heard that some of these changes were an effort to distance the current incarnation away from the Siegel and Shuster version. Not sure if it's true, but anyway.

I would like then to revert back to the old costume. I have been enjoying the new Superman titles but I still miss the old uniform. The new ones that Superman and Supergirl wear remind me of iron or some kind of metal.
