However, a lot of the companies who've made DC games (as well as Sega themselves, albeit a shadow of their former self) still exist and still own legal rights over the material you're talking about.

Will they see loss of money? No, probably not. Will they see it as IP infringement? Absolutely.
Honestly I doubt any companies truly care about it. Why? If you bought the game legally with cash money, would they see gain of money? No. Because all the secondhand shops and mom and pop game stores that would still sell DC games aren't getting them from the manufacturers of those games, they're getting them from old warehouses and places like eBay: places that don't give the IP holders any cut of the cash.

Sure, its still infringement, but it's not really worth doing anything about to them. If anything it's free advertisement for the case they ever make a sequel.

Now, games that they port, that might be a different story.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
