Angela Borlaza, Marlon Brando's longtime nurse and companion, is suing his will's co-executors, claiming she was kept outside the room as a signature was coerced from his deathbed—perhaps even forged. That document gave full control of his estate to producer Mike Medavoy, who has plans to develop Brando's Tahitian island into a profitable resort. To help make sense of the complex legal wranglings, we thought we'd illustrate using the obvious parallels to a certain blockbuster currently in theaters and starring a digitally disinterred Brando, Superman Returns: Borlaza's story paints Brando as the frail, wealthy window Gertrude Vanderworth, while the alliteratively named Mike Medavoy comes off like a conniving Lex Luthor, guiding the actor's limp, pen-clutching hand across the signature line, only to rush off moments later to enact his maniacal offshore real estate development schemes.
