The portrayal of superheroes often embraces absurdity, evident in Krypto's presence in the new Superman movie. Krypto, the superdog, adds humor and chaos, deviating from darker portrayals in earlier comics. His antics can disrupt or assist, demonstrating his unique role as both a comedic and profound figure. In contrast to the heavy, intense 90s comic era, Krypto symbolizes charm and light-heartedness, revealing the genre's ability to balance silliness with underlying themes. His inclusion suggests a refreshing shift in this rebooted Superman narrative.
Krypto’s presence is a statement of purpose for the third Superman reboot this century. Dog + Cape = Funny. His ridiculousness is charming - and sneakily profound.
Absurdity is the genre's default setting - bright underwear, statue-steroid muscles, glam masks. The first scene of the new Superman movie picks a side.
