If my cynicism here seems a little blunt, it’s not without reason – DC League of Super-Pets has the misfortune of existing in a world that’s already given us The Lego Batman Movie, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, and the Harley Quinn animated series, so it’s only right that audiences should expect a little more from it. That said, I’d be surprised if anyone was duped by DC League of Super-Pets, which features Dwayne Johnson as the voice of Krypto, Superman’s beloved pooch from the comics, and ends with a sledgehammer-to-the-face reminder that Johnson’s next DC project, Black Adam, comes out in October.
We’re all, at some point or another, cheering on our own manipulation by a corporate marketing department. The smartest of today’s blockbusters have convinced audiences that a hardened commitment to handing over one’s cash – again and again – can actually be an act of love.

It looks like it’ll follow many of the typical beats of a superhero team-up movie, but with a heaping helping of inspiration from The Secret Life of Pets.ĭC League of Super-Pets is set to be released in theaters on July 29.Dir: Jared Stern, Sam Levine.
With Superman and pals in danger, it’s the super-pets that have to band together and save them from Lulu.
What Lulu wants the Justice League for, and her origins, will likely be major plot points in the film. However, the League is kidnapped by a mysterious guinea pig called Lulu. The Justice League also show up in the film, building friendships with their respective pets. It looks like the movie starts off with Krypto, Superman’s dog, tutoring a cast of lesser known super-pets like Ace the Bat-Hound (Kevin Hart), Chip (Diego Luna), a squirrel with lightning powers, or Merton (Natasha Lyonne), a turtle with super speed.
The new trailer for DC League of Super-Pets is a celebration of these characters, and shows a cast of lovable pets come together to save humanity. It makes sense a major part of superhero canon is the various relationships they have with their families and coworkers, many of whom also have superpowers of their own. Superheroes having their own super-pets is a long-running tradition in comics.
