During the “Puppy Bowl” broadcast on Sunday, February 9, “Superman” director James Gunn delivered a personal message to fans, accompanied by his dog Ozu (who inspired the portrayal of Krypto the Superdog in the film).
Krypto, the loyal canine companion of Superman, plays a prominent role in Superman. The decision to use the Puppy Bowl as a platform to highlight the character is a clever move by WBD, aligning the adorable charm of puppies with the heartwarming appeal of Superman’s furry friend.
The Puppy Bowl XXI pre-show kicked off on Sunday, February 9 at 1:00pm, with the main event starting at 2:00pm.
