- Gunn's version of Krypto the Superdog showcases the super-powered pup's full abilities, including super-strength and super-speed, while also donning Superman's signature cape and 'S' shield.
- While Krypto's live-action debut could make him an endearing, Groot-like character, his inherent silliness as a super-powered dog could also backfire and become a major flaw in Gunn's attempt to ground the 'Superman' story.
