Throughout the long lifespan of the comic-book industry, various publishers have dreamt up some batty alternate versions of their most iconic heroes, like Marvel Zombies, Marvel Apes, and even a Dracula-inspired Batman.

Pretty much any idea like this would make for an insane movie - especially when so many comic-book blockbusters are criticised for "playing it safe" and "sticking to the formula" - but Warner Bros. has decided to go with the DC Super Pets as its first major foray into the wild, weird world of comic-book goofiness.

The concept, if the title didn't give the game away, is that the DC Super Pets (also known as the Legion Of Super Pets) consists of a few super-powered animals, from Krypto the super-dog to Flexi the plastic bird. Other members include Streaky the super-cat, Clay Critter... and Bat-Cow. Yes, seriously. In a few years, you're going to be able to watch this in a cinema. What a time to be alive.

Most importantly though, Warner Bros. knows how to make a brilliant animated superhero movie (LEGO Batman), so there's plenty of reason to trust them, even when the premise sounds this mental. And the good thing here is that such a crazy idea lends itself to an extremely funny and offbeat movie, so hopefully, they run with the ludicrousness and amp it up to eleven. Give us lots of Bat-Cow!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
