September 5, 2009: Superwoman Exploited and DC History Examined
Comic Book Legends Revealed #223 contains a very interesting insight into the history behind how Warner Bros. came to own DC Comics, and what happens when you try to make a sex film about a DC Comics character.
- When you're a major company and you get hit by a lawsuit over trademark, you revise your product.
But what do you do when you're a small company making a pornographic film?
Well, that's what the producers of 1977's Super-Woman found out when DC Comics served them with a complaint over their porn film's use of the character Super-Woman and the "S" on the chest of her costume.
