Warner Bros has pushed back the release of DC Super Pets, its animated film based on the kids cartoon franchise. The studio said the pic, previously due to hit theaters in May 2021, will now open a year later, on May 22, 2022.
The film, directed by Jared Stern and Sam Levine, is being produced by Patty Hicks. Super Pets features the furry friends belonging to the likes of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman (the latter’s pet is a kangaroo named Jumpa).
Warner Bros’ next DC property to hit the big screen is The Joker, to hit theaters October 4. The studio previously set The Batman, from Matt Reeves, for June 25, 2021, and its Suicide Squad sequel for August 6, 2021. Another DC spinoff, Birds of Prey, is set for February 7, 2020.
Earlier today, Warner Bros said shooting has begun on Tenet, now the title of Christopher Nolan’s secretive next movie that stars John David Washington along with Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki. It has a July 17, 2020 release date.
So this better be something like a book series remade into an upcoming film, huh. I know, Anonymous. It isn’t doing Endgame.
“Marvel is doing Endgame and DC is doing Super Pets.”
Marvel isn’t “doing” Endgame. Marvel has already done Endgame.
DC is doing Super Pets, yes… and many other movies. Some of them will be dark like Joker. Others will be more light-hearted. There is nothing wrong with DC making a -presumably light-hearted- cartoon movie for kids, and it is ridiculous to pretend that’s everything they are doing, and slam them for it.
The “Marvel vs DC” mindset is ludicrous; and this is coming from someone who used to be firmly in the “Marvel rocks; DC sucks” camp until I did away with my fanboyism and actually started reading DC comics.
Marvel is doing Endgame and DC is doing Super Pets.
It looks like May 22 2022 is a Sunday.
