League of Super Pets (2022)

 

Just got back from seeing this SUPER fun movie.  Krypto has an existential crisis about Clark dating Lois and has to come to grips with having no other friends to hang out with.  While doing that, he also has to contend with Lu Lu, a psychotic super powered Guinea pig.  She gets her powers from orange Kryptonite.  It also gives odd powers to a pig, a squirrel, another dog and a turtle.  Lu Lu captures some of the Justice League in order to return to being Lex Luthor's pet.  The now Super Pets have to get it together to rescue the human heroes and stop Lu Lu.  Which means Krypto has to figure out how to make friends and influence people.

Orange K?  Well, we needed a something to give the other animals powers.  The movie is pretty fun, and the voice actors all do a fine job.  Dwayne Johnson is good as Krypto, and also gets the best take down of what an "anti-hero" is, so be sure to watch the second post credits scene.  I knew who Chip would be, even if he has lightning powers, and the turtle was familiar to me.  It was a lot of fun, though, even if rather predictable.  Keanu Reeves does a fine job imitating Diedrich Bader as Batman.  Metropolis looks like it came right out of the 90s cartoon.  Very enjoyable.

Krypto should know he needs to pay attention to the initials "L.L".
