Overview

• A newly released clip shows Superman bursting into Lex Luthor’s office after his dog Krypto is abducted, marking the first on-screen confrontation between the two.
• Luthor’s calm dismissal and the whispered insult “ugly dog in a cape” confirm his calculated effort to portray Superman as unstable.
• Superman’s grief over Krypto’s disappearance drives him to a John Wick–style outburst, underscoring his emotional vulnerability.
• The clip serves as the final major promotional tease ahead of the film’s July 11, 2025 premiere and launch of DCU Chapter One: “Gods and Monsters.”
• The scene also highlights the film’s established metahuman world and its central theme of reconciling Superman’s Kryptonian legacy with his human identity.
