Haha, please. DC's been fucking the Siegels out of their rights for as long as Superman's been in print. They had to fight just for DC to recognize them as the original creators of the character, and DC was stiffing them on their paychecks since day 1.
Also qwertyas I think you have your wires crossed. The rights to Superman are contentious, but that's over the original terms of the license Shuster and Spiegel signed, and whether DC followed them or if the contract was even binding and legal to begin with. It sounds like you got that mixed up with Sony's rights to Spider-man movies, which they have to keep making or else the movie license will revert to Marvel. That's why they keep making terrible Spider-man movies.
