‘Krypto's Never Going To Be A Good Dog.' Why James Gunn Still Says Supergirl's Different From Superman

Krypto heeling for Superman after swinging Lex Luthor around in Superman.

With Superman and Creature Commandos having cracked open the DCU's first chapter along with Peacemaker's twisty second season, we're set for quite an exciting lineup of upcoming DC movies. Admittedly, James Watkins' Clayface is what I'm most impatiently waiting for among the 2026 movie releases, but I'm also beyond enthused about seeing Milly Alcock heading up her own interplanetary adventure for Craig Gillespie's Supergirl. Mostly to see Kara and Ruthye bonding and kicking ass, but also to see that lovable hunk of scruff Krypto.

The superpet, who was based largely on James Gunn's own dog, wasn't exactly the Man of Steel's best friend in the David Corsenswet-led feature, but that's because it's not his dog. Plus, he did save Supes, and made Lex Luthor look like a rag doll, so the scales were balanced in the end. But as evidenced in the first Supergirl trailer, the four-legged beast hasn't changed his opinions about Kara's cousin, and takes no issue with peeing on his face in the Daily Planet.
