About Krypto
For the unversed, Krypto aka Krypto The Superdog is a superhero from the DC universe. While previously voiced by Dwayne Johnson for DC League of Super-Pets in 2022, Superman will mark Krypto’s debut in live-action format.
James wrote on Instagram in October that Krypto was inspired by his dog Ozu, who was adopted shortly after he began writing Superman. He wrote, “Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least. He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture - he even ate my laptop. It took a long time before he would even let us touch him. I remember thinking, “Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?” - and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life.”
