Re: BREAKING NEWS! Zack Snyder directing SUPERMAN.
There are certain elements of Superman and the Superman lore that were created by Siegel & Schuster prior to their selling the property to DC.
The S&S heirs have been fighting DC for years over money they claimed they are owed. This latest ruling will give them a leg up in court come 2013. If they win, they would then control certain facets of the Superman IP -- I believe Krypton is included -- that they could then bar Warner Bros / DC from using...or at least charge them an arm and a leg to use.
This explains it better than I can:
