First came Superman. Then came the feminine counter - Superwoman. Later Superboy emerged and perhaps to re-address a balance, Supergirl was introduced.
Now we have Superdog?!? A moronic addition to an already well milked francise. I guess we should expect Supercat soon too.
Aww Shut up... We all know that stories ofen go through changes over the years... I am quite happy to see the super animals doing some of the hero stiff... I wish that the WB would do something about Streaky.... He is too damn lazy and wants to eat fish all the time...
Help save the cover Tunes for TGAH. E mail anchor Bay!
I also wonder why they change Streaky's history
He originally came from krypton and was also Supergirls pet, well that's what i remember.
I could be qwrong though.
There is also a super-horse. I can't remember his name though. And I think that there was a super-monkey. There was a time where there was a lot of "Super" beings. "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was supposed to get rid of a lot of those super-beings. They even did away with (for a little while at least) Supergirl.
I believe that this maxi-series came out in '86. Never heard of superwoman. There was a Batwoman, Batgirl (twice) bathound, bathorse etc. etc.
You make it sound like crypto is new... Next time your in the comic store, thumb through some of the old superman re-prints they have out... Krypto has been around since the 50's. And yes, there is a super cat and he has been around just as long.
I'll admit I think it's pretty cheezie too, but my 4 year old LOVES it - call me crazy, but I think that's about the age group this show is aimed at.
KEYPTO has indeed been around for a long time and Supercat is tied into this series . I think the series is now suffering from rushed story lines and some really bad stories at that in the second year... If the company doesn't do something to improve the storylines and stop the rushed plots Krypto may not have much of a future on CN...
I love You Peter Tomarken! I will miss you always... You will never be forgotten....
The series should have ended by showing Krypto all the other superman animals in other dimensions. Then having all their planets blow up, (except earth 1), while Krypto watches a glimpse of crisis on infinite earths.

It can't really be a "struggle for originality" when some of these characters have been around probably since before you were born, now can it?
