I mean, the obvious legal restrictions, like, "Do Thou Never Craft a Tale In Which Superman Fighteth Thanos or the Good Doctor Octopus, Yea, Or E'en the Ginger-Haired Archie Andrews, Brief Combat Though It Would Be, Without The Sheltering Umbrella of a Properly-Secured Crossover Deal"
"Mighty Thor: Attorney At Large" premieres this Thursday on NBC. Be there, or fie upon it!
kinda go without saying. And if there are any others, they at least don't provide a list.
I would assume, if there was some legal reason they couldn't show Superman with a "Yellow Triangle S Banner" (whatever that is)
FWIW, I was referring to the "S" logo Superman had in Action Comics #1, which was a 3-side triangle rather than a a 5-sided diamond cut, didn't have any red in it, and for all I know might have some perverse legal encumberance associated with it since I rarely see it used. I wasn't going to speculate too much on what crazy crap the lawyers may come up with, so I err on the side of farce.
, they wouldn't bring it up unless someone said, "And then we'll have Superman whip up a new Yellow Triangle S Banner, and..."
I mean, there was a time Jim Lee drew a whole bunch of Batmobiles in a BATMAN story, and DC made him change the shot of the TV Batmobile a little because they don't actually have the rights to it. But that's not something they're going to pass out on a list -- it's only going to come up if someone starts drawing old Batmobiles.
I was fuzzily thinking that over the decades, enough incidents like this might've happened where it makes sense to have guidelines handed out to every creator, but this makes sense too.
Thanks for replying.
