Warning! Spoilers ahead for DC’s League of Super-Pets!
Easter eggs are common ground for comic-based movies, but DC’s League of Super-Pets' best reference flew by faster than a flying super-dog.

Lulu, however, was (and is) devoted to Luthor, and devises a plan to harness the power of orange Kryptonite, escape the shelter, and reunite with her master.
