#1 Infantino demanda a DC por los derechos de Flash
CARMINE INFANTINO SUES DC FOR FLASH RIGHTS
According to a report in Newsday legendary DC Comics editor, creator, and former President Carmine Infantino has filed suit against DC Comics for the rights to the Flash.
The crux of Infantino’s claim rests upon allegations that in 1956, Infantino was commissioned by DC to revive the Flash character, which Infantino alleges he did, but owns the rights to the character.
The claim against DC was filed yesterday, and seeks monetary damages against DC, as well as a ruling that he owns the Flash, Batgirl, and a host of other characters which he created between 1943 and 1967.
Noting that the suit comes less than a month before the opening of Spider-Man 2, Infantino’s lawyer, Nicholas Perrella. told Newsday, "Obviously the characters have much more commercial value these days. Look at the Spider-Man movies."
DC offered no comment to Newsday, and, as a matter of course does not comment publically on pending or ongoing litigation.
Along with the Flash, Infantino also alleges that he revived Batman in ths ‘60s, by giving the character a new look, and creating Batgirl. According to Newsday, Perrella said Infantino gave DC Comics permission to use The Flash in comic books, not in other media.
This is the third known case of creators (or their survivors) have sought to regain the rights to properties created for DC: Joanne Siegel, widow of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel sought 50% of the rights to the character (reportedly, despite ongoing negotiations, no settlement has been reached); Green Lantern creator Marty Nodell sought the rights to that character (and reportedly reached a settlement with DC); and now Infantino.

. Este tipo dio origen a la Golden Age! Despues del 2do Flash se recreearon muchisimos personajes mas! entre ellos tu amado Hal Jordan, yo pienso, si el creador de Hal hoy dia estuviese muerto de hambre por que DC, en su momento, le pago lo que ellos consideraban justo (Recordemos que no existian los derechos de autor y otras leyes que beneficiaban mas a los creadores intelectuales antes que a las empresas que los publicaban) no creo que vos estuvieses diciendo "Que se cague, no supo defender lo suyo", sino que estarias alabandolo y defendiendolo por que de su mente nacio el personaje verde mas grande de todos los tiempos para vos, no?
