A year later, DC renewed its copyright on Superman, this time adding a clause that Superman could be reclaimed by his creators between 19. This is also when DC Comics started crediting Siegel and Shuster as the creators of Superman in comics and all other adaptations of the character again. Finally, in the late seventies, after bad PR began to get out that while multi-million dollar Superman films weren’t too expensive to make the creators of the character didn’t even have pensions, DC awarded Siegel and Shuster health care benefits and life-long pensions of $20k a year. They sued again in the seventies, again failing to recover the rights. Siegel and Shuster thought so when, in 1947, they sued for the rights to Superman, and were fired, their bylines removed from stories they had worked on.
