Likely we'll be following the ongoing legal wrangling over Superman as WB and the Siegel Family (heirs to the Superman creator) sort out who owns what.
A new wrinkle in the case on Friday. I may be reading this wrong, but WB is not suing the Siegels. They are suing the Siegel's atorney, basically charging that he;s not trying to represent his clients, but that he's angling to get a part of the Superman money for himself.

Better legal minds than mine can sort through this thing, but given how long and difficult the litigious wranglings have been when it seems this should have been a matter of agreeing on a number (the Siegels need somebody to manage he Superman empire for them, and WB needs the continuity of keeping the license), and that hasn't happened.
We'll keep watching...
