Daydream Surprise
 DC League of Super-Pets / int_118a41d5
comment
Daydream Surprise: As Krypto worries about Superman neglecting him in favor of Lois, Lois arrives for her and Supes' date. Krypto answers the door, grabs Lois by the ankle and flings her into the sky, and she eventually lands in the middle of the ocean. Cut to Krypto still in Superman's apartment, shaking his head and going "Nah, I shouldn't do that." Unusually for this trope, this Imagine Spot comes up again later as Krypto reflects on the way he has been acting since he learned that Superman plans to propose to Lois, and he calls imagining doing such a thing in the first place as one of the ways that he has been a bad dog over the past several days.

I Owe You My Life: Whiskers is clearly on Lulu's side after the latter rescued her from the rehoming centre. Until she loses a life in a fight with the Super-Pets, that is - then she disappears until The Stinger, where it looks like she walks by [her]self. Apparently, having given her life (one of them) for Lulu's cause, she considered her debt repaid.

Villains Learn Faster: The League of Super Pets have trouble using their powers throughout most of the movie. Lulu and her minions, meanwhile, learn theirs almost instantly. Justified, though, in that the League struggles because of personal issues, while Lulu's minions have no such issues.

Black Comedy: Two examples, both of which get subverted by dialogue before they get into really dark territory. Whiskers is sealed into a garbage tip with a grenade that detonates powerfully enough to deform the tip, but he clarifies he’s still got eight lives left from within. Lulu is picked up by Mark and Keith and thrown into a compartment of a roadside food stall with the possible implication that it’s a deep fryer but is in fact clarified to be just harmless hot dog water.

Mythology Gag
 DC League of Super-Pets / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: Superman's red on black S symbol design harkens back to his Fleischer Studios Superman Theatrical Cartoons look. A background billboard for a local aquarium advertises a "Fleischerfish" as a further nod. During The Stinger at the end of the credits, Black Adam is featured. Dwayne Johnson, who voices Krypto, was cast as Black Adam for his eponymous movie, and voices both Black Adam and his dog Anubis. At the end of the movie, PB, a pig, is adopted by Wonder Woman. During the Justice League Unlimited episode "This Little Piggy", Wonder Woman was magically turned into a pig. We first find Lois Lane at the tail end of a report, describing how Superman managed to defeat Mr. Mxyzptlk by making him say his name backwards. At multiple points in the movie, Lulu demands that the heroes kneel before her. At the start of the film when Krypto grabs hold of a van driven by two thugs, he holds it in the same pose as Superman on the cover of Action Comics #1. Bonus points for a bystander turning away from that with the exact same shocked, head-in-hands expression as the bystander on the cover as well. Lots of the signs visible in Planet Square reference businesses from mainstream DC continuity — from Big Belly Burger to Sundollar Coffee, as well as "Hex's Texas Grill", "Kord" and plenty of others.

Name From Another Species
 DC League of Super-Pets / int_31a59d13
comment
Name From Another Species: Krypto's father's name appears to have been changed from Zypto (comics) to Dog-El (film). This is because the comics used the name given to him by his owners, while the film used the name he used to refer to himself - which was presumably given by his parents or chosen to fit his adoptive family. This was the name his son knew, since Dog-El used it in his recordings.

Fun Size: A downplayed example—rather being portrayed as a German Shepherd or a Great Dane (the latter of which is one of the largest dog breeds in the world), Ace is portrayed as a Boxer, which is a bit smaller compared to a German Shepherd and especially a Great Dane (but, overall, a Boxer is more medium-sized than small).

Adapted Out: Streaky the Super-Cat, Supergirl's pet and one of the most prominent pets in DC Comics other than Krypto and Ace, is nowhere to be seen in this movie. Also absent is Jumpa, Wonder Woman's kangaroo companion, in favor of new character PB. The fact that Jumpa is a somewhat obscure character might have contributed. Also, a kangaroo's presence in a Metropolis animal shelter might seem too much of a stretch.

Ungrateful Bastard: In Ace's flashback, he saved the baby from falling down the stairs, but bit her arm in doing so. How did the parents thank him? By putting him in the animal shelter. Immediately after Lulu frees him, Luthor throws her into his cell and leaves her there. This ends up biting him in the ass shortly afterwards as when Keith and Mark free Lulu, she is quick to imprison him along WITH the Justice League and instead of trying to work WITH Lex Luthor, now Lulu wants to KILL Lex Luthor along WITH the Justice League.

Personality Powers: Krypto is Superman's best friend, hence he's also the winner of the Superpower Lottery. Ace is stoic and never gives up the fight, he ends up with Super-Toughness. PB is insecure and wants to do the best, she ends up a Sizeshifter and so is a literal shrinking violet that's also capable of becoming an incredible giant. Chip is manic, he gets electricity powers. Merton gets Super-Speed simply for the irony of a fast turtle. Lulu becomes as megalomaniacal as Lex, she gets Mind over Matter powers that enable her to mold the world in spite of her small size.

Liar Revealed
 DC League of Super-Pets / int_4ee61c1f
comment
Liar Revealed: Subverted. Ace frequently promises to take the other animals to a "farm upstate" where they can be free from humans, though he later reveals to Krypto that he’s only giving them hope and doesn’t know if such a place even exists. This revelation doesn’t lead to any further conflict and Krypto simply covers for Ace by agreeing to take them to the Kent farm in Smallville, and the rest of the group are none the wiser that Ace had been lying to them.

Adaptational Superpower Change: Ace is a Badass Normal dog in the comics. He gets super invulnerability (surviving a significant amount of the ceiling falling on him) along with the other pets and their powers. Chip has Shock and Awe powers rather than a Green Lantern ring. At the end of the movie, however, he is given a Green Lantern ring by his new owner, Jessica Cruz.

Green Rocks: Kryptonite plays a prominent role in the plot, naturally being experimented on by Lex. Lulu was his guinea pig, natch, for different variations. She lost all her fur from red kryptonite, while purple kryptonite gave her vivid dreams. Lex's plan is to empower himself with a shard of orange kryptonite, which fails because Lulu is the only one to realize that that only gives superpowers to animals.

Nearly Normal Animal: A twist on this trope, as indicated by the trailer.

Heel–Face Turn: Keith and Mark were OK with kidnapping, but not murder. This makes Lulu attack them and hamper their powers, so they join the Super Pets against her. The credits scenes imply that the rest of the guinea pigs not named Lulu eventually followed suit, with the rainbow guinea pig shown having become the pet of the guy in the bathtub whose wall was busted during the climax and the rest having resumed their Wednesday Spanish classes.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: Plenty of them during the news broadcast about the attack of the guinea pigs — they change between cuts so you've gotta be quick to catch them. In the Imagine Spot Krypto has about Superman marrying Lois, there's a Spinning Paper shot about it from a 'nightmare edition' of the Daily Planet, and they actually typed out all the words in it instead of using Lorem Ipsum, so you can read what Krypto assumes will happen.

Disney Death: Krypto defeats Lulu using the Solar Paw Punch, which is said to kill both puncher and puncher. In the event though, it knocks the power out of Lulu without killing her and Krypto survives with help from Ace. Possibly justified since this was the first time the Punch had ever been used, at least by Krypto, so its actual effects wouldn't have been known.

Dog Got Sent to a Farm: Interestingly, used in a context that does not involve the death of pets. Ace frequently mentions a “farm upstate� as his destination once he gets himself and his friends out of the shelter. Later, he confides to Krypto that it was actually just a story to give his friends hope. Krypto agrees to keep the secret and send them all to the Kent farm in Smallville in exchange for helping him find Superman.

However, the true villain is Lulu, a super-intelligent Guinea Pig who was experimented on by Luthor before receiving an Unwanted Rescue by Superman and Krypto. Her goal is to use the orange kryptonite to empower herself and free Luthor from prison. After Lex Luthor betrays her Lulu instead tries to kill Lex along with the Justice League and take over the World herself.

MacGuffin: Kryptonite. Specifically green and orange Kryptonite. Luthor lays out early in the film that green kryptonite drains kryptonian superpowers (Lulu, of course uses this to depower Krypto and weaken Superman shortly after). Orange kryptonite, on the other hand, supposedly does the opposite, giving superpowers to normal people. Of course, Lulu clarified that this works on PETS, not people. Sure enough, this is what gives her and the other shelter pets their powers.

comment
Adaptational Backstory Change: In the comics, Krypto was sent up in a test rocket by Jor-El, and due to time dilation, arrived on Earth years after Kal-El. Here, he goes to Earth with him. In the comics, Chip is an alien member of the Green Lantern Corps whose species the Hl'venites resemble Earth squirrels. This movie presents Chip as an ordinary earth squirrel until he gets electricity powers.

 DC League of Super-Pets / int_be2a5b42
comment
Anthropomorphic Shift: An inversion — Merton the Turtle is based on Merton McSnurtle/The Terrific Whatsit from Golden Age comics and Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! While McSnurtle is from a World of Funny Animals, this Merton is shown in the trailers to be a regular pet-shop turtle. Likewise, Chip is presented as an actual squirrel, rather than the comic book Ch'p, an alien who resembles an anthropomorphic squirrel.

Shout-Out
 DC League of Super-Pets / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: While ironing his shirt with his heat vision, Clark comments that he should call himself Iron Man. He quickly dismisses the idea. Krypto is apparently a fan of The Great British Bake Off (which has its original name in the movie, despite the program being re-titled as The Great British Baking Show in the U.S.). After being used as a canine shield, Ace bemoans not getting "a magic hammer or something". As PB uncontrollably grows inside a car, Merton is pushed toward a window glass besides a stuck-on Garfield plush. At the end of the film, Chip comments that his new owner (Jessica Cruz) "put a ring on it" while showing off a new Green Lantern ring. While hunting down the Super-Pets, Whiskers parodies A Nightmare on Elm Street's classic "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" song. They also sing ""Super Pets, come out to plaaaaaay..." Lulu mockingly refers to the Super-Pets as "the PAW Patrol". Chip's equivalent in the comics has a green lantern ring (which he does get by the end of the film) but since that wouldn't work with the Orange Kryptonite Meta Origin, the creators naturally decided to have the rodent character get electricity powers. When Ace says the "farm upstate" won't have any humans controlling them, he calls it "a 100% Animal Farm". PB cheerfully comments that that doesn't sound ominous at all.

Adaptation Species Change: Chip is an ordinary Earth squirrel that gains electricity powers, in contrast to Ch'p in the comics being a Green Lantern Corpsman who is a member of a race of squirrel-like aliens called H'lvenites. Ace is a Boxer in this film instead of a German Shepherd or a Great Dane like he's usually portrayed. He describes himself as 1/8 Boxer and is accused of being 7/8 Chihuahua - which he doesn't deny although it doesn't show in his physique. PB's an extreme case of this; in the comics, her role as Wonder Woman's pet was taken by Jumpa, a kangaroo-like creature.

Brick Joke: The normal dog that said he bit a FedEx guy Krypto awkwardly tries socializing with near the beginning the movie shows up at the end. He's been mutated into a glowing blue giant and boasts he ate the FedEx guy. During their first encounter, Ace calls out Krypto's smugness by noting that he acts like "your doodoo don't stink", with Krypto saying that it actually smells like sandalwood. When he passes the Kryptonite he was tricked into eating during the back end of the movie, Ace comments that it does in fact smell like that. While snarking about the Justice League during their first appearance, Krypto says that Wonder Woman's invisible jet is more transparent than actually invisible. Whiskers later makes the same comment after shooting the jet down. While wondering what superpowers he'll get from orange kryptonite, Lex mentions being good at throwing cards. During the credits, Lex is shown tossing cards.
