Jeff Trexler On That Siegel Decision

Newsarama's Jeff Trexler, who has provided commentary throughout the Siegel Family's legal battles with DC and Time Warner over the Superman character co-created by their late patriarch Jerry, weighed in at several times yesterday and the day before that on the latest "fair value" decision.

* a basic post describing the cogent portion of the ruling.
image* a funny comment about DC's press release about the decision.
* a post on how to read the latest decision. The interesting thing Trexler picks up on here is some dissatisfaction from the judge on how the plaintiffs have been arguing their case.
* a special post on the status of the Superman franchise on film.
* a summary post on the wide-open nature of the case to come, including the judge's call for a special master (because of the prevalence of accounting issues) and what's at stake in what's to come.

They're all brief enough to be devoured in succession or as one long author-based listing.
