With Superman hitting digital this week, DC Studios is using the bonus features as a way to tease expanded content within its new universe.
Key among the special selections for the Superman home release is a first look at a series of animated shorts starring Krypto the Superdog. In the spin-off series Krypto Saves the Day, the adorable rascal (still modeled on James Gunn’s dog, Ozu) gets into his own heroic hijinks around Metropolis.
The first of the shorts from Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios is School Bus Scuffle, written and directed by Ryan Kramer (Looney Tunes Cartoons). It just dropped online via Fandango and it’s a soaring doggo delight.
And that’s not all! There will be more Krypto Saves the Day shorts coming soon: Halloween Havoc, Package Pandemonium, and Coastal Catastrophe. According to Warner Bros., the shorts will roll out individually through 2026.
Warner Bros. also shared images from those seasonally themed tales:
We’re excited to watch more and love that the animated Krypto keeps the same mannerisms (and signature ear that sticks up) that Ozu inspired in Superman.
Superman hits digital platforms August 15. A physical release is coming September 23.
