By Mulder, 10 february 2025

Fans of DC’s beloved Krypto the Superdog have plenty to celebrate as the iconic Kryptonian canine is set to make his big-screen debut in DC Studios’ upcoming Superman film, directed by James Gunn. In anticipation of the film’s release, a brand-new collection of Krypto-themed merchandise has landed at DC Shop, Hot Topic in North America, and select retailers worldwide, allowing fans to bring home a piece of the action.

The exclusive Krypto the Superdog collection spans a variety of apparel, accessories, and pet-related items, designed for both Superman enthusiasts and devoted pet owners. Available in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, India, and Japan, the collection marks an exciting moment for DC fans eager to welcome Krypto into their homes. With the film’s official premiere set for July 11, 2025 (July 9 internationally), this collection serves as the perfect way to celebrate Krypto’s long-awaited arrival on the big screen.

Coinciding with the release of this merchandise, a special Superman-themed segment aired during Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XXI on February 9, giving fans a sneak peek at the heroic pup in action. This segment not only teased the upcoming film but also showcased Krypto as a key part of Superman’s legacy, cementing his role as more than just a sidekick—he’s a hero in his own right.

The merchandise lineup features a range of items catering to both human and canine fans alike. For pet lovers, standout pieces include the Superman (2025) S-Shield Pet Bandana, a lightweight, moisture-wicking accessory designed for comfort and durability. Additionally, adorable pet costumes featuring the classic Krypto cape allow dogs to embody the powerful pup in style, with versions that include legs for extra cuteness. To complement these, a selection of collars and leashes offers a stylish yet functional way to keep pets secure while channeling the spirit of Metropolis’ most famous dog.

For fans looking to showcase their Superman devotion, the collection also includes apparel and home accessories featuring exclusive Krypto artwork. The Superman (2025) Krypto T-shirt and two-tone mug bring a modern, sleek design to everyday wear, while a premium Krypto poster captures the heroic dog in an action pose, making it a must-have for collectors. A plushie toy and flying disc add an interactive element for pets and fans who want to embrace Krypto’s adventurous spirit. Meanwhile, a cozy Superman sherpa blanket provides the ultimate comfort after a long day of heroic feats.

Beyond the pet-focused items, the merchandise collection taps into nostalgia and the excitement surrounding James Gunn’s fresh take on the Superman franchise. With Superman serving as the first film under Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership of DC Studios, anticipation is higher than ever for this new era of the DC Universe. Krypto’s inclusion in the film adds an extra layer of excitement, as the character has long been a fan-favorite in comics and animated adaptations but has rarely been seen in live-action form.

DC’s decision to launch a dedicated Krypto merchandise line ahead of Superman signals the character’s significance in the upcoming film. With his undeniable charm and unwavering loyalty to Superman, Krypto is poised to become a breakout star of the new DC cinematic universe, appealing to audiences of all ages. Whether fans are looking to deck out their pets in heroic gear or simply want to add a piece of Superman history to their collection, this Krypto the Superdog merchandise line offers something for everyone.

With excitement building for the film’s release, these exclusive Krypto-themed items are expected to be in high demand. Fans eager to get their hands on the latest Superman (2025) merchandise can find the full collection now at DC Shop, Hot Topic, and select retailers worldwide.
