LIKE ANY SUPERHERO TALE WORTH ITS CAPE, DC League Of Super-Pets has its very own secret origin story. “I was volunteering in a pet shelter,” says writer and director
Jared Stern, sharing the inspiration for the new animated movie that unites the furriest forces for justice in the DC Universe. “There was a bunch of really cute kittens in the front and I thought, ‘Okay, those kittens have a pretty decent chance of being adopted’. And then there was this back room, with some older pets, and I was like, ‘I don’t think these guys have as good a shot at getting out of here’. And I was bummed about that.
“I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if they could somehow get out of here – and what if they had superpowers?’ I don’t know why, but that came into my head. At the time I was working on The Lego Batman Movie, and I thought, ‘Well, there are all these DC superhero pets. What if I somehow squished these ideas together?’”
Super-pets have been a cherished part of comic book mythology for decades, yet somehow they’ve never made the leap to live action on the big screen. Are they just too guilty a pleasure for the likes of Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder?
