After writing The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie for Warner Bros., Jared Stern has been hired by the studio to write and direct Super Pets, an animated movie about DC characters’ pets, Collider has exclusively learned.
It’s unclear whether Stern will use DC’s Legion of Super-Pets or the Cartoon Network series as the basis for the script, or whether he’ll create new characters better suited to his vision for the film. The Super-Pets team first appeared together in Adventure Comics #293 (February 1962), though most of the members had appeared in earlier issues. Over the years, those members included Krypto the Super-Dog, Streaky the Super-Cat, Beppo the Super-Monkey and Comet the Super-Horse from the Superman and Superboy comics; Damian Wayne’s dog Titus; Aquaman’s seahorse Storm; plus Flexi the Plastic Bird, Bat-Cow and Clay Critter, who was killed by Dex-Starr and Harley Quinn’s hyenas Bud and Lou. Krypto the Superdog also had his own comic series, which featured appearances from Beppo and Comet. At one point, Marvel even had its own animal-centric comic book, Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers.

Stern got his start contributing material to animated movies like Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, and Wreck-It Ralph, before writing the live-action comedies The Internship, The Watch and Mr. Popper’s Penguins. He recently directed the Netflix comedy Happy Anniversary starring Noël Wells and Ben Schwartz, and he also executive produced a pair of animated films for Warner Bros. — Storks and the upcoming Smallfoot. Stern is also writing and executive producing an adaptation of Dr. Seuss‘ classic children’s book Green Eggs and Ham for Netflix and WBTV, as well as a feature adaptation of Seuss’ The Cat In the Hat for Warner Bros. Animation. Additionally, Stern wrote the animated musical Meet the Beetles for Warners, the animated movie It’s a Small World for Disney, and the highly-regarded screenplay Home Movies for Amblin and Shawn Levy‘s 21 Laps banner, which numerous A-list stars have flirted with over the years.
On the small screen, Stern co-created Ken Jeong‘s short-lived ABC sitcom Dr. Ken. He’s represented by WME, Industry Entertainment, Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment and attorney Karl R. Austen.

I've always been obsessed with the DC super pets and DC seems to only get praised when they do comedy oriented kids movies like Lego Batman and Titans Go so why not?

Anyone watched Krypto the Superdog? Obviously aimed at a young audience but it was really entertaining and payed plenty of tribute to all the super pets in the DCU. An ignored classic.

*squees*The line up better be Jumpa, Krypto, Streaky, Ace, Beppo, Storm, Comet.... maybe even watzitt and proty? With special appearances by the Just'us Cows!

And they just cast Dwayne Johnson as Krypto

Hm. Not liking the art direction for Krypto - like his face doesn't emote what you'd want to see. He kind of looks like an @$$ hole.

I don't like the art style either but this could unironically feel more superman than the majority of what DC puts out in different media. nah if the writing is as sovlless as the character design it'll be a generic movie.

Movie looks a bit ruff.

Pie references with The Rock again!

A sexual predator ( Thomas Middleditch ) and his frequent collaborator ( Ben Schwartz ) will be providing voices in the film. Kevin Hart ( a homophobe and colorist ) is also voicing the main secondary character.

Needless to say, I will not be watching this film.

From what I hear of it it's more like DC'S Super Woke Pets Movie. Pass.

So, do you watch any movies then? Because I'm sure if you dig in you will find people in almost any movie that would keep you from viewing it.

I can respect people's views for not wanting to support a product for whatever reason, but it definitely makes me think of how blissful ignorance is.

I only get annoyed when people chastise you for where your money goes, without, as you mention, giving a thought to what they are funding when they spend their money elsewhere.

I had a buddy trying to flex his morals on me when I mentioned I got an Amazon Prime subscription, in the vein of "Amazon deals may be good, but they're basically putting 'mom and pop' stores out of business. It's really not a good thing to support, man."
I was basically forced to bring up how often he tells me he pirates software, movies, music, etc.

The thing is, it's fun to be on a high horse about Amazon and it's effect on mom & pop stores, but you have no room to talk when you're not even paying for the stuff in the first place. It's just an endorphin release to flex your morals. Same guy who had to tell me about how he gave a homeless person $20 the other day. It's all posturing.
Slightly different situations, but just kind of exhausting.

[Papenbrook]

I usually don't have the time to examine/view every single film, let alone every mainstream film.

I just wanted to express my opinions regarding the casting of this particular film, as it's not worth my time to watch immoral A-listers fail upwards within the entertainment sphere.

I'm sure that those on top don't care about my thoughts on the matter. The masses likely won't give any concerns/issues, either.

Most of those who take offence probably have skeletons in their own closet and hide behind a Helen Lovejoy persona to hide among the twitter cattle.

Keanu Reeves voices Batman in this and its perfect
