Superman Is Super Pissed off at Lex Luthor for Taking His Dog in New SUPERMAN Clip
In the latest clip from Superman, the gloves are off, and so is Lex Luthor’s office door.
The footage opens with Superman crashing into Lex’s sleek high-rise lair like a one-man wrecking crew, blasting the doors off their hinges and flinging the billionaire’s desk like it’s made of cardboard. Why? Because Lex took Krypto, Superman’s dog.
The confrontation is tense and raw. Lex, being Lex, doesn’t flinch. He calmly sips his coffee while Superman fumes in his face. It’s the kind of cold arrogance that you expect from the character in that situation.
There’s a lot of emotion in the scene and you feel Superman’s fury, the restraint it takes not to turn Luthor into dust, and the depth of the bond he shares with Krypto.
In the comics, Lex Luthor has a long, ugly history of kidnapping Superman’s loved ones with Lois, Supergirl, Ma Kent, Jimmy Olsen. It’s part of his twisted playbook. Taking Kypto makes it personal and cruel, and it shows this version of Lex is ruthless.
There’s also a possible deeper motive here. If Lex is trying to understand Kryptonian physiology, then nabbing Krypto could be step one in a much darker plan. Either way, messing with Superman’s dog? That’s a guaranteed way to bring the heat.
