Chris Wozniak est poursuivi par DC
Mar 6 Déc 2022 - 15:53
My name is Chris Wozniak, former Writer/Artist at DC Comics. I wrote a Batman/Riddler story that was used to make the $900M film THE BATMAN (2022).
Warner Bros. Attorneys are NOT disputing they used my story to make the film. Even they know I can prove that. So instead of providing fair credit and compensation, they're having DC COMICS SUE ME for writing an "unauthorized"Batman story.
Yes, you read that right.
To be clear, EVERYONE who worked for or freelanced at DC Comics in 1990 knows full well that established Freelancers were given FREE LICENSE to submit stories anytime they wanted. It's probably how 90% of DC Comics were made. And if DC Comics liked your story, they put it under contract. That was STANDARD COMPANY PRACTICE for decades...but my Batman story is the only one that was ever used without a contract in place, and Warner Bros. knows that's a huge problem.
So as anyone would, I asked to be paid for my contributions;all I asked for was whatever the other "credited"writers received. No damages. No extras of any kind. But INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT'S RIGHT, Warner Bros. and DC Comics opted to fabricate a ridiculous lawsuit designed to bankrupt a single Dad with a ten-year-old daughter. They're even seeking legal fees which we estimate could be nearly half a million dollars. They're demanding that I back off.
I will not.
Again, DC COMICS IS SUING A FREELANCER FOR WRITING AND SUBMITTING A BATMAN STORY 30 YEARS AGO. Suing a Freelancer simply for submitting a story is completely unprecedented. It's something all Freelance Writers did at the time that was regularly encouraged by DC Comics. Many, many former DC Comics Writers and Editors are willing to confirm this was a regularly accepted practice. Business as usual. But because Warner Bros. neglected to negotiate the rights for my story, they're trying to have DC Comics run me off rather than pay me.
Typical Hollywood steamrolling tactics.
And all this from DC COMICS, the company that promotes TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY. Does this sound like Justice to you?
We're requesting that you help our family get through this so that we can have our day in court. Thank you.
