Copyright Infringement on HKOnline?

So today the folks over at Hello Kitty Online.com announced that there were new screenshots! A devoted fan had no choice but to look at every single one. While I was there however, I noticed something that caught my eye. The copyrighted symbol that belongs to DC Comics.

Superman In HKOnline

Hm, now how do we explain this? It’s found on this screenshot right from the official website. And it’s undeniably an exact copy! And their little person there even is wearing blue with a red cape on! Now let’s compare:

Actual Superman Symbol

Well, this girl’s convinced that it’s the same symbol. And comparing the little guy to the actual Superman, even the hairstyle on the little person is exact compared to the real Muscle Man!

Superman in Action

Note the curl in the hair smack in the middle of the forehead. A question for Sanrio Digital: Is Hello Kitty Online sponsored by DC? Or is this just a case of artistic influence?
