Super Pets to the Rescue!

So, here’s the scoop folks: while we’re all eagerly waiting for the Avengers: Doomsday trailer that’s definitely not dropping during the Super Bowl, fear not! There’s going to be some superhero action this Sunday, but it’s not what you think. Instead, brace yourselves for Milly Alcock making waves at the Puppy Bowl with none other than Supergirl.

Canine Capers with Supergirl

Let’s get real for a sec—Supergirl and the Puppy Bowl are practically peanut butter and jelly! Thanks to the iconic Superman movie, we know Krypto, her loveable pooch, is more than just a fluffball; he’s her sidekick! Remember that heartwarming moment when she swoops in to rescue her not-so-well-behaved pup from her cousin? Yup, it’s a super duo that’s ready to blast off into adventure!

A Whole League of Super Pets

But Krypto isn’t flying solo in the vast DC Universe pet arena. Nope! Picture this: Otto Binder, Curt Swan, and Sy Barry unleashed Krypto on the world way back in 1955 in Adventure Comics #210! Talk about a power move! Krypto was like the canine version of Clark Kent during his Smallville days, fetching frisbees instead of fighting villains. And who wouldn’t want a super-powered furball by their side when you’re busy dealing with teenage drama?

Meet the Super-Pet Squad

And guess what? Krypto was just the beginning! As the excitement for superpets grew, Batman decided it was his turn to join the fun with Ace the Bat-Hound. He even drooled his way into Batman #92! And don’t forget about Beppo, the Supermonkey from a 1959 Superboy issue, or Supergirl’s own furry friends like Streaky the Supercat and Comet the Super-Horse. Oh, and let’s throw in a shapeshifting blob named Proty II for good measure.

Animal Shenanigans in the DC Universe

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better—DC has a whole menagerie of character critters. There’s the villainous Gorilla Grodd, his noble buddy Solovar, and Detective Chimp, who’s definitely the Sherlock of apes! It’s a wild ride with giant apes like Titano battling the Justice League and adorably fierce squirrels like Ch’p and B’dg hopping around in the Green Lantern lore. And yes, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew are a thing, too—because why not?

From Embarrassment to Stardom!

Now, let’s be real. For ages, super-pets and their gorilla counterparts were kind of the embarrassing relatives of the superhero family. They’d show up in kiddie cartoons, but nothing even close to a blockbuster movie. Until now! Enter Superman, where Krypto made a grand entrance in the trailer, cementing his status as a superstar.

A New Era for DC’s Silly Side

That’s right! Krypto is back in promotional material for Supergirl, proving that even the quirkiest aspects of DC are being embraced. With James Gunn at the helm, it seems like he’s championing the goofy charm that fans love. Can we get a round of applause for finally giving super-pets their moment in the limelight?

The Countdown to Supergirl!

So mark the calendars, folks! Supergirl is landing on June 26, 2026, and we can’t wait to see what kind of adorable and heroic antics unfold!
