A federal judge has ruled that the heirs of one of Superman's creators have no right to reclaim copyrights to the Man of Steel.Heirs of Superman artist Joe Shuster sought to reclaim the copyrights, but a judge ruled they relinquished that right more than two decades ago.The ruling Wednesday 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.


DC Comics sued Shuster's heirs in 2010, seeking a ruling that it owns the Superman copyrights.Wright noted that Shuster's sister agreed in 1992 to annual payments from DC Comics in exchange for all interests in the character.Her attorney Marc Toberoff wrote in a statement that he respectfully disagrees with the ruling.

American television Persinality Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who campaigned for Sarah Palin  in 2008 is now complaining that the former governor is distracting media attention from Mitt Romney.On a recent episode of "The View," Hasselbeck used an interesting analogy to argue that the hockey mom's "One Nation" tour was stealing the thunder from Romney's plan to improve the economy.

Hasselbeck said while introducing Palin at a rally in Tampa, Fla., in 2008. "All that corruption went out with the trash. Now whatever the good ol' boys are up to these days, that has no place in her state no place. And Gov.Wall Street, guaranteed."This isn't the first time the talk show cohost has been critical of Palin. In 2010 Hasselbeck reluctantly agreed with "View" colleague Joy Behar over SarahPac's use of cross-hairs in an advertisement against Democrats in the House who voted for the healthcare overhaul.
