The copyrights for Superman and Batman are set to expire in 2034 and 2035, respectively, followed by the Joker in 2036 and Wonder Woman in 2037. DC has trademarked terms such as 'Man of Steel' and 'Caped Crusader,' as well as Superman's 'S' and Batman's logo. The impending expiration raises questions about how DC will protect its iconic heroes once they enter the public domain.
