Talk:History of Superman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Factual discrepancies with other articles
This article says "In 1946, when Siegel and Shuster sued for more money, DC fired them, prompting a legal battle that ended in 1948, when they accepted $200,000". Joe Shuster's says "In 1948, the New York State Supreme Court limited their settlement to $60,000 each". Jerry Siegel's says "After a two-year fight, they relinquished their claim in return for about $100,000". While these figures could be loosely interpreted to be compatible, better accuracy is desirable. If someone has the correct values, please update all three articles! rbp
The Broadway musical "It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman!" debuted in 1966, not the year following George Reeves' death. I've added that information to the article. For verifiable source, please see the entry at Internet Broadway Database http://www.ibdb.com/production.asp?ID=3137 MDonfield 09:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
I now notice my edit referred above confuses the timeline of the paragraph, because The Adventures of Superboy and Adventures of Superpup were prior to 1966, but I don't have the correct dates available from a confirmable source. MDonfield 09:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Slight Reorganization
I thought the organization that came right out of Hesiod's Ages of Man was a little ridiculous, so I changed it, hope you all will agree.Wakefencer
[edit] Merging
I've merged info here from Superman, I do intend to sort it out more properly but it's late and I need to get to bed. I'll work on splitting out the fictional biography from the publication details and integrate it all better in the next few days. Steve block Talk 00:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
