Who knew Superman had a doggy best friend?
Krypto the Super-Dog is not just here to beg for treats and roll over – he’s the latest star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ animated action-adventure film, “DC League of Super-Pets.”
With X-ray vision, flying abilities, heat vision, “freeze” breath and super hearing, Krypto is the perfect canine counterpart to his two-legged Kryptonian friend.
Check out the character featurette for Krypto below. DC League of Super-Pets can be watched in theaters starting July 27.
In “DC League of Super-Pets,” Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack—Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel—to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the Super Heroes.
