The DC League of Super-Pets featurette includes commentary from its all-star cast, including Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, as they discuss what it’s like working on the project. It also highlights Krypto and Ace’s love-hate friendship.
Based on the characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, DC League of Super-Pets will be led by Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson as Krypto the Superdog, and Kevin Hart (The Secret Life of Pets) as Ace the Bathound, the crime-fighting canine partner to Batman and Robin.
