I question if Snyder has anything left to say at DC.

Wow, DC/WB really screwed this up.

Does this imply Willingham isn't happy about some of the changes they're making to canon in The Wolf Among Us season 2? He specifically calls out Telltale.

Ah, yes… the ol’ “It’s Public Domain ‘Cause I Say So” legal strategy. I’m sure DC/WB lawyers will just throw their hands up and say, “He got us!”

This is like the opposite of how DC treats Gaimin and his Sandman property, cause they never do anything without Gaimin's permission.

Crazy shit.

While I Am Most Certainly Not a Lawyer, it does appear that Mr. Willingham has a great deal of his ducks in a row, if his assertion that he has never, ever ceded his rights to the property to DC is, in fact, the truth.

That said, I am somewhat interested in how far the notion of public domain would apply to the *visual* representations of the Fables characters.

PS As a former Telltale employee/survivor, and one who wrote a (bad) first draft of a Fables game (seriously, it was not good), I'm intrigued by the shade Mr. Willingham throws Telltale's way.
