‘Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane!’

It’s a dog. Yes, the upcoming Superman movie from James Gunn really is his ‘pet’ project. He’s bringing one of the most iconic pooch pals to the big screen – Krypto the Superdog! The comic canine was teased today on X with a heartwarming pic of Superman and Krypto sharing a moment high above the Earth.

While the latest Joker film is stinking and sinking at the box office it’s leaving many fans wondering if the newest relaunch of Superman with soar or be even more box office Kryptonite.

The darker tone of the recent DCU films upset many fans who had hoped for a brighter, more faithful adaption of the four color comic book source material.

Will this apparent return to basics bring back disillusioned super-fans? 

Some have hope.

Still other fans worry writer/director. James Gunn has already steered the storied Superman franchise into parody ala 1983’s ridiculously bad Superman III with its stunt casting of comedian Richard Pryor. 

One thinks this will only leash in owners of pups and pooches.

Many worry the movie is spinning out of control with too many side characters and not enough focus on the main hero in tights.

Is it too much to ask that a Superman movie actaully focus on the titular character?

Yes, wait and see. 

Dogs are indeed man’s best friend. Still, it remains to be seen if Krypto will be Superman’s best friend at least on the big screen and especially at the box office in summer 2025.
