Ahead of Superman’s highly anticipated digital release, DC Studios has released two awesome bonus features that fans will definitely want to check out. These extras include a fun new Krypto animated short and a behind-the-scenes featurette titled “A New Era: DC Takes Off”, giving us a deeper look into the beginnings of the new DC Universe under James Gunn.

The Krypto short is the first in what looks to be a series of animated adventures focusing on Superman’s super-powered dog. In this 5-minute short, Krypto gets into an amusing chase with a defiant pigeon, delivering lighthearted fun that captures the spirit of the DCU in an unexpected way.

It’s also notable as the second official appearance of Superman in the new DC Universe continuity, subtly expanding this world from the eyes of his loyal canine.

Also released is the behind-the-scenes featurette A New Era: DC Takes Off. This sneak peek includes new footage from the set along with interviews from the cast, who share their thoughts on kicking off this fresh chapter of the DCU. It offers a genuine glimpse into the passion driving this new era of storytelling.

These extras help paint a bigger picture of what the future of the DC Universe might look like, balancing humor, heart, and heroism.

Superman lands on digital platforms today. Don’t miss your chance to see what’s next for the DCU, and definitely don’t sleep on Krypto chasing down that pigeon.
