Although Professor S is the anti-thesis of copyright laws in terms of comic books and Dr. Chambliss is its biggest advocate, I am some where in between. I do feel it is necessary to have copyright laws to keep the validity of major comic book characters, but I also do believe leniency in this media is necessary to properly improve the character. For example the character of Wonder Woman has gone through enormous change throughout her history, and these changes reflected the movement of the time. But if DC would allow this character to be developed my other producers, I think she could have been more reflective of the time. Her character would have been more appropriate in her role, instead of what a male bureaucracy believes she should represent. But on the other hand, I am a great fan of Batman and I feel his character's darkness is not only necessary for his cause and would not like a happier and more light-hearted Batman would not be fun!
