In a few years, Seigel & Shuster's original Superman story will go into the public domain. This will include Krypton, Jor-L, Lora, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and them being reporters. It won't include later elements like the trademarked S-shield, the Kents as we currently know them as farmers from Smallville, Luthor, or any of Superman's vision, hearing, breath, flight, or invincibility.
Obviously, Warner Bros will protect its IP ferociously, but the fact remains that anyone will be able to make their own version of Superman & Lois as they appeared in Action Comics #1.
What do you think about this?
