Where's That Super Suit

DC Comics won a round last week in its litigation with Marc Toberoff , attorney for the Siegel and Shuster heirs in their pursuit to regain Superman rights: a magistrate ruled that documents stolen from Toberoff’s office by a former attorney could be given to DC, according to Variety. The documents were stolen, given to Warners, then returned during an investigation by the U.S. Attorneys office. Now the judge ruling in the case says that because Toberoff voluntarily gave the documents to a grand jury investigating the theft, they should be made available to DC. Toberoff argues that the feds had agreed to keep the documents confidential. A district court judge is being asked to rule on the situation before the magistrate’s ruling is put into effect. DC wants the docs to reinforce the points it’s making in its lawsuit against Toberoff. That suit is a sideshow to the main event, the litigation between DC and the Siegel and Shuster heirs over the Superman rights. As things currently stand in that litigation, rights to the early works in which Superman was introduced will revert to the Siegel and Shuster estates.
