The campaign was well thought out and better executed, but at the time, when Parma in Italy announced the return of Gianluigi Buffon with the slogan “Superman returns”, he didn’t think of the consequences it had known in the past. time: Warner Bros. Entertainment, the film and television company with the intellectual property rights to that character’s symbol, sued him.

Apparently, that image in which Buffon – 44 years old and World Champion in 2006 – took from a box the shirt he wore in his first years of career at the same northern Italian club, similar to the suit of the iconic character of fiction, was used without the necessary permission.

The parties took several months but found a solution to the claim: Parma will pay the American company € 15,000a figure the club had in reserve for risks on December 31, 2021.

The discovery was made by reading the balance of the club belonging to the Tanzi family in the 90s and currently playing in Serie B, where he remained no chance of being promoted in the highest category of Italian football, despite Buffon’s return.

That is, with three games remaining, they are ten points away from the Playoffs zone, an insurmountable difference for Buffon’s team, which has played. 25 matches in time (they turned him around 25 goals and keeps zero eight battles), but was not called to the last seven presentations.
