DC Comics is owned by Warner Bros aka Time Warner aka AOL/ Time Warner Communications. This is why it's such a big deal for Warner Bros to get a superhero (tm)(r)(c) movie franchise off the ground. Marvel Comics is its own entity has ties with 20th Century Fox for movies (X-Men) and Universal Studios (Marvel SuperHero Island at Unversal's Islands of Adventure theme park). And it's interesting to note that neither the DC Comics site nor the Marvel Comics site mentions this "new" copyright claim. Both sites mention the latest comics and movie projects, but neither of them talk about how fans can't use the word "super-hero". Marvel Comics talks about the X3 and Wolverine movie. DC Comics talks about yet another "universe changing" comic series that seems to occur every ten years. --John
