DC’sLeague of Super-PetsMovie Casts Dwayne Johnson as Krypto, and It Makes Me Uncomfortable

Given that superhero movie are the most dependable smash hit of the modern age , I should n’t ever be surprised when some major star slip into the tights and cape of a long - clock time amusing book character . However , I find myself curiously shaken by the announcement thatDwayne Johnson(who ’s already starring inDC ’s Black Adam ) will be playing Superman ’s super - dogKryptoin DC’sLeague of Super - Petsmovie .

I ’m not disturbed at the news — I can jolly well imagine the Rock ’s voice emanating from a beefy , caped dog of indeterminate breed . It just feel … weird . Like , of a sudden we ’ve taken one pace too far , and while nothing unfit seems to have happened immediately , one Clarence Day we ’ll wait back and rue this Clarence Day .

While we do n’t know what other super - pets will be starring in the picture show besides Krypto , Varietysays he ’ll be teaming up with a super - qat to block up crime . That almost sure as shooting has to be Supergirl ’s cat Streaky , who arrive at her mightiness after being reveal to kryptonite . I also assume more beast will be in the moving picture , because two is a paltry zoological garden . The most probable candidates admit Beppo the Super - Monkey ( from Krypton ) and Comet the Super - Horse ( a configuration - shifting , blaspheme centaur who apparently once date Lois Lane ) , as they ’re all part of the Super - family .

If the movie wants to ramify out , it could include Batman ’s firedog Titus ( he ’s just a cad ) , Batman ’s cow Bat - Cow ( just a cow with a patch of haircloth that looks like the Bat - symbolic representation ) , Flexi the Plastic - Bird ( a recent improver to the host of super - pets ) , Wonder Woman ’s kangaroo Jumpa ( I ’m altogether serious ) , the two squirrel Green Lanterns Ch’p and B’dg ( secret weakness : cars ) , the Flash ’s turtle Whatzit ( a.k.a . McSnurtle ) , and peradventure Aquaman ’s big ol’ seahorse tempest .

In fact , rent ’s just get Meryl Streep to sound Jumpa , Tom Cruise as Bat - Cow , and Daniel Day - Lewis as Ch’p . These are all things that make staring sense .
