It’s hard for any villain to bring down the man of steel, but a lawsuit just might do the trick. A lawsuit was leveled against the film by the estate of Joe Schuster, one of the creators of Superman. James Gunn’s Superman is the latest adaptation of Clark Kent to be brought to the big screen. Following in the footsteps of Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill, David Corenswet is donning the suit for the new DC film universe, following a Superman who has to learn the ropes of his new role while finding himself as both a human and kryptonian. 

Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegel created Superman back in 1933. Since his inception, the two have been credited on countless films about Superman, from Richard Donner’s Superman and Man Of Steel, all the way down to animated features such as All Star Superman and Superman: Doomsday. But with the lawsuit from the Schuster estate, it’ll become more difficult for the new film to get a full rollout, as Puck reports. 

The lawsuit itself was presented on the grounds of a copyright claim, going hand in hand with the estate feeling that Superman is being exploited by Warner Bros., the distributor of the newest Superman. The suit also calls for the film to be blocked in several major territories. MovieWeb notes, as well, that the New York Supreme Court called for opposition papers ahead of a June 4th court hearing for if the film will be blocked in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the U.K. 

Superman hits theaters July 11th.
