DC Comics has argued that it should have access to legal documents related to a legal battle over the rights to Superman because it is not protected by the attorney-client privilege.

'Walking Dead' Creator Robert Kirkman Responds to Fraud Lawsuit – Hollywood Reporter
"The lawsuit is ridiculous, we each had legal representation seven years ago and now he is violating the same contract he initiated and approved and he wants to misrepresent the fees he was paid and continues to be paid for the work he was hired to do. Tony regularly receives payment for the work he did as penciler, inker and for gray tones on the first six issues of The Walking Dead comic series and he receives royalties for the TV show, to assert otherwise is simply incorrect."
