Superman may be the Man of Steel, faster than a speeding bullet and all that jazz, but even the greatest superhero needs a loyal best friend. Of course, he got the cape, the powers, and the whole “saving the world” tag, but when it comes to a sidekick, Krypto the Superdog is his savior.
Honestly, we can think of him as Superman’s four-legged counterpart, a cosmic canine with all the superpowers of his Kryptonian buddy and the charm to match. He isn’t just any dog, he’s been zipping through comics, TV shows, and movies for decades.
Over the years, Krypto’s adventures have been brought to life by some pretty talented voices, each bringing their unique twist to this super-pup.
From Saturday morning cartoons of our childhoods to modern blockbusters, a select few don’t just voice Krypto; they have given him personality, heart, and just the right amount of sass. Whether he’s chasing bad guys or wagging his tail next to Superman, Krypto has always made his impact and will continue to shine. Let’s thank those who embraced the world of Krypto by giving him a voice.
Samuel Vincent (Krypto the Superdog)
The voice behind Krypto in Krypto the Superdog is voiced by Samuel Vincent, who brought Superman’s furry sidekick to life with heroic charm and a splash of puppy energy.
He didn’t just voice a super-powered pooch, rather he gave Krypto a personality that was all loyal, brave, and downright lovable. With a tone that could switch from “serious hero mode” to “playful puppy vibes” in seconds, Vincent truly made Krypto feel like the ultimate mix of Superman and your favorite childhood dog. Didn’t he?
Of course, his voice perfectly captured Krypto’s cosmic adventures, whether it was while battling Mechanikat or chilling with Streaky the Supercat.
Jason J. Lewis (Justice League Action)
In Justice League Action, Krypto the Superdog made a return, and this time voiced by Jason J. Lewis. But in Justice League Action, Krypto wasn’t just saving the day alongside Superman but also proving that even the fiercest villains have to reckon with a super-powered pup.
Lewis brought Krypto to life with a voice that literally exuded both strength and a touch of playful charm, and it was perfect for a dog who’s got the same cosmic abilities as Superman.
Whether it was soaring through the sky or battling alongside the Justice League, Krypto’s voice carried a sense of loyalty and bravery that made him an unforgettable part of the action. And not to mention Lewis’ take on Krypto definitely added a fresh layer of excitement to the already dynamic Justice League team.
Dwayne Johnson (League of Super-Pets)
Dwayne Johnson is a legend of voicing and he brings his signature charisma to every voice role he has ever played, including voicing Krypto in DC’s League in Super-Pets.
Known for his larger-than-life personality, The Rock infused Krypto with a comedic yet heroic flair that made this pup both lovable and tough. And being the leader of a ragtag group of super-powered animals, Krypto’s voice under The Rock’s direction carried both the weight of responsibility and the playful energy of a dog who’s always ready to save the day.
Unknown (Superman: Legacy)
The Superman trailer just dropped, and Krypto the Superdog made a pretty epic entrance, bursting through the snow to save his injured owner, Superman. But, surprise, surprise, James Gunn isn’t giving us a simple, lovable, tail-wagging dog. According to Gunn, Krypto’s relationship with Superman is, shall we say, complicated. He shared with Deadline,
Well, turns out, it’s not all puppy kisses and belly rubs in this version, Krypto’s got a bit more bite to him, and Gunn’s hinting at some behavior that’s a far cry from your perfect pooch.
Maybe he’s a couch-sprayer, maybe he’s a “my-walk-not-yours” kind of dog. Who knows? Krypto’s about to be a much bigger handful than we’ve seen in past Superman flicks, and honestly, that’s part of what’s got us intrigued.
And you know what’s more mysterious? We still don’t know who’s voicing Krypto. The mystery of his voice adds a whole other layer of excitement to this canine conundrum.
Will he bark in a heroic, gravelly tone or let out a snarky growl? We’re just as curious as you are. Whatever happens, Krypto’s about to steal more than just Superman’s cape, he might steal the whole movie.
Guess we’ll find out when Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
