Warning: contains spoilers for Superman: Son of Kal-El #12!
DC's new Superman proves the DCEU could still be saved if a certain character is brought into the franchise — and there's still plenty of time for this four-legged friend to make an appearance. The famous Krypto the Superdog is a long-running supporting character in the Superman franchise and fiercely loyal ally of the Man of Steel. In Superman: Son of Kal-El #12, Krypto proves his usefulness to the story — and also a fair amount of drama.
The Superman: Son of Kal-El series revolves around Jonathan Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Earth's new Superman.

He's already made plenty of friends and a new, terrifying enemy: President Bendix, the iron-willed ruler of the island nation of Gamorra.
