Krypto may be a Superdog, but he is definitely a bad dog in the DC Universe. I say that lovingly. The dog trashed the Fortress of Solitude in James Gunn’s Superman<\/a> movie last summer! He’s adorable and lovably loyal, but he is a ball of chaos with a prey drive through the roof. Thankfully, he proved himself to be capable of Good Boy Acts when he attacked Lex Luthor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the screenwriter of the Supergirl movie coming out later this month, Ana Nogueira, can relate a lot to the dynamic between Kara and Krypto. In an interview with Empire magazine, Nogueira looked back on her relationship with her own pup. “My dog, who passed a few years ago, was so bad and I loved him so much… James [Gunn] and I bonded over having a mess of a dog and how it’s perfect for Kara. She’s also kind of a mess and wouldn’t know how to train a dog,” Nogueira said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It seems like James Gunn has plenty of love for bad dogs, considering that Cosmo the Spacedog from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 had a knee-jerk reaction whenever anyone said she was a bad dog. In case you need reminding, even the bad dogs of the world (and universe) still need love.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that Krypto is modeled after James Gunn’s real-life dog, Ozu<\/a>. So truly, DC Studios is a home for dog lovers. Let’s just hope we get to see Streaky the Supercat sometime soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Supergirl will be released in theaters on June 26, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
