Pueblo is asking that Warner Bros. recall all copies of the DVD and give up profits made from its sale.

LOS ANGELES -- AP
Superman may be invulnerable, but the studio that released an enhanced DVD last year of the 1978 movie about the superhero is having its own problems.

A British firm that claims it owns the copyrights to the three "Superman" movies and a documentary on the making of the first film sued Warner Bros. this week in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Pueblo Film Licensing Ltd. claims the studio violated its copyright by using protected material in the DVD and a theatrical version of the first movie released last year.

A Warner Bros. spokesman said the company has not yet seen the lawsuit and does not comment on pending litigation.
