DC League of Super-Pets characters: Every hero and their pet
Warner Bros.It was the most pawsome superhero movie of 2022, so here’s a complete guide to all the DC League of Super-Pets characters, including every hero and their super-powered pet.
It might have come as a surprise to many, but DC League of Super-Pets ended up becoming one of the most popular superhero movies of 2022. Lifting our favorite characters straight from the DC comics, each now has a little fluffy sidekick following them around — and who doesn’t love that?
The story follows Superman and the rest of the league who get kidnapped by Lex Luthor. Superdog Krypto has to rescue them, finding a group of shelter pets with superpowers to help him.
Sure, it doesn’t completely line up with the previous DCEU movies, but who cares? For the full rundown on the canine heroes in DC League of Super-Pets.
DC League of Super-Pets characters: Every hero and pet
Superman and Krypto
Warner Bros.Clark Kent, aka Superman, is voiced by The Office star John Krasinski in the film, marking his second comic book role after his Doctor Strange 2 cameo.
Meanwhile, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson voices Krypto, also known as Superdog, his trusty Labrador with super-strength, agility, speed, senses, and the ability to fly.
Batman and Ace the Bat-Hound
Warner Bros.Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, is voiced by Keanu Reeves – yes, really. As for his dog, Ace the Bat-Hound is voiced by Kevin Hart.
Unlike Batman, who technically doesn’t have any powers beyond his detective skills and expertise in fighting and tech, Ace has super-strength and invulnerability in the film.
Wonder Woman and PB
Warner Bros.Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, is voiced by The Good Place star Jameela Jamil, while her pet PB, a pot-bellied pig – hence the name, is played by Saturday Night Live comic Vanessa Bayer.
Unlike other pets in the film, PB doesn’t come from the comics. The new character is capable of increasing its size, a bit like Atom Smasher – but a pig.
The Flash and Merton
Warner Bros.Barry Allen, aka The Flash, doesn’t mark another performance from Ezra Miller. Instead, the hero is voiced by comedian John Early.
His pet turtle Merton, also known as The Terrific Whatzit, is voiced by Natasha Lyonne. Merton was the first talking animal superhero in the DC comics, and she’s set to gain super-speed in the new movie.
Green Lantern and Chip
Warner Bros.Unlike past live-action portrayals of the Green Lantern, from Ryan Reynolds’ Hal Jordan to Wayne T. Carr’s deleted John Stewart in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Super Pets marks the cinematic debut of Jessica Cruz. She’ll be voiced by Orange is the New Black star Dascha Polanco.
As for her pet, Chip is played by Diego Luna. First appearing in the comics back in 1982, the red squirrel will have electrokinetic powers in the film. One would imagine he’s also recruited by the Green Lantern Corps.
Aquaman
Warner Bros.Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, is voiced by What We Do In the Shadows star Jemaine Clement. As shown in Jason Momoa’s film, the Atlantean demigod can breathe underwater, summon tides and sealife, and he has a rather large trident.
It’s currently unclear if he’ll have his own Super-Pet in the film.
Cyborg
Warner Bros.Victor Stone, aka Cyborg, is voiced by Hamilton star Daveed Diggs. Once a promising football player, he was fitted with cybernetic equipment following a car accident.
Again, it’s currently unclear whether he’ll have his own Super-Pet in the film.
Lex Luthor and Lulu
Warner Bros.Okay, he’s not a hero – but he is a supervillain. Lex Luthor, the CEO of LexCorp and Superman’s archenemy, is voiced by Marc Maron in the film.
Lulu, a hairless guinea big who can be seen asking Superman to “kneel before” her in the trailer, is voiced by Kate McKinnon. Given she was seen wielding Kryptonite, and is also bald, it’s fair to assume she’s the Lex’s pet.
Lois Lane
Warner Bros.Lois Lane, The Daily Planet’s most headstrong reporter and Clark’s girlfriend, is voiced by Olivia Wilde.
It’s unlikely she’ll have her own Super-Pet, but Krypto doesn’t seem too keen on her in the trailers; more specifically, he bites her ankle and swings her into the ocean.
