10 Awful Comic Book Characters That Don't Deserve A Movie Adaptation

3. Krypto

In the entire history of moviemaking, there's been only one decent movie made about a crime fighting dog; it was called Turner and Hooch. Every other example of the genre has been dreadful, like K-9 and Top Dog. On the other hand, the box office triumph of the Alvin and the Chipmunks proves that talking animal movies can be big business. With this in the back of its mind, Warner Bros might decide to take its own stab at the genre and green light a movie adaptation for Superman's crime-fighting pooch Krypto. Krypto was Superman's childhood pet until Superman's dad Jor-El shot Krypto into space to test out a new rocket. Eventually, Krypto found his way to Earth where he reunited with Superman. The reunion proved bittersweet after Superman found Krypto's super-powered puppy antics too much to handle and sent Krypto back into space. During the 70s, Krypto got up to his own super heroics, defeating super-villains and acquiring the power of speech. The temptation to adapt this kid friendly property could prove to great for Warner Bros to resist, and we could soon have another Marmaduke on our hands. What's worse is that it might not stop with Krypto. Krypto has a stable full of animal allies called The Legion of Super-Pets; there's Streaky the Super-Cat, Beppo the Super-Monkey and Comet the Super-Horse. DC could very well open a Pandora's box of talking super animal films that could potentially make the universe implode from an epic wave of cinematic stupidity.
