Krypto the dog in a red cape first appears in the "Superman" movie and marks a turning point in the DC universe.
UNN reports with reference to "Gizmodo" and "TIME" publications.
Details
Last week, James Gunn's "Superman" movie officially premiered in cinemas, aiming to reboot the DC universe and directly compete with Marvel.
Light and with a vintage touch, yet woven with references to the classic comic, this "reboot" is a pleasant contrast to the heaviness of some modern blockbusters.
An unexpected and appealing element in the franchise is the appearance of the superdog Krypto in the new film.
Krypto's appearance represents a shift in how cinema adapts superhero mythology, choosing fun and embracing classic elements, without the need for lengthy justifications.
Gunn's choice to include Krypto is explained by his experience in superhero films. Before directing "Superman," he created the Marvel film "Guardians of the Galaxy," in which he introduced Rocket, an armed raccoon with a strong personality. Later, he added Cosmo, a dog with psychic abilities.
Gunn's penchant for animals with extraordinary abilities is now transferred to the DC Universe, where Krypto becomes a central character.
But Krypto also turned out to be an unexpected hero off-screen, as he significantly boosted the current interest of many people around the world in providing homes for pets.
Woofz, a dog training app, reports that Google searches for "adopt a dog near me" have increased by 513%
And "dog adoption near me" - increased by 163%.
This is not surprising, because the film, in its essence, focuses on the love for all living beings, and also on how wonderfully Krypto embodies it when he comes to the rescue.
Recall
James Gunn stated that the "Superman" movie will be 2 hours and 9 minutes long including credits, and denied information about pressure from Warner Bros. to shorten the runtime.
