“Krypto arrives on screens in Superman this summer.
Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman.
It took a long time before he would even let us touch him.

What better time to debut the not-so-good-good-boy Krypto than #AdoptAShelterDog month.

Krypto, aka Krypto the Superdog, made his first appearance in Adventure Comics #210 back in 1955.
He was originally intended as a one-off character, but eventually became Superman’s dog in various comics.
The pup has a heightened sense of smell and hearing, as well as super-canine intelligence.
