It's literally 4 shorts about Krypto done in Tex Avery style hijinks.
No big loss.

"It's definitely the Krypto you fall in love with in Superman." - Peter Safran February 2025.I like James Gunn as a director, too. I think he's probably going to be great for the DCU... but people need to stop asking him about canon.
The archetype and likeness are shared, but the shorts are just for fun."It's definitely the Krypto you fall in love with in Superman." - Peter Safran February 2025.
Designs? DCU designs
Gunn? "Not canon"
ok so, why annouce it as canon and use the DCU designs if it's not meant to be canon??? So what? it's in its own universe where Creature Commandos and Superman still take place??? Redundant

Krypto Getting Seasonal Spin-Off Shorts Following Superman Movie Debut
Krypto the Superdog will be getting a series of short films following his debut in the Superman movie later this year.comicbook.com
Well it can't be Stargirl's Earth-2 because of the newspaper mentioning Top Trio defeating Ultra-Humanite, who had been in hiding for 70+ years and the same year (2021) in Stargirl.View attachment 4017

Like the Avengers Assemble cartoon's MCU synergy, clearly not MCU canon.
In DC's case, that Aquaman animated mini-series (by the Thundercats ROAR guy) that was slightly based on the DCEU Aquaman.
Unlikely, but could it be The Batman Earth-2?Well it can't be Stargirl's Earth-2 because of the newspaper mentioning Top Trio defeating Ultra-Humanite, who had been in hiding for 70+ years and the same year (2021) in Stargirl.
There shouldn't be more than one Earth-2.Unlikely, but could it be The Batman Earth-2?
How would that even work? Meaning the naming, numbering of Earths in the multiverse? Is there multiverse wide agreement on what each Earth is numbered? Is it a geological feature like a birthmark that each Earth is " born" with…There shouldn't be more than one Earth-2.
I mean, officially the three Live Action Earth-2s aren't connected... perhaps Stargirl is pre-flashpoint Earth-2?There shouldn't be more than one Earth-2.
4 if you count Smallville's "Earth-2"…I mean, officially the three Live Action Earth-2s aren't connected... perhaps Stargirl is pre-flashpoint Earth-2?
In the comics, the level of vibrational frequency between worlds helped Prime Earth Barry Allen to determine the objective Earth numbers for the comic multiverse.How would that even work?

I am being facetious here.
The numbering system would only have meaning to the specific person or Earth that created it. But would mean nothing to other Earths. Even if a group of Earths agree to specific labels… a whole other group could turn up with their own system.
That's my take as well.Knowing how Gunn talks, I just take him to mean Earth-2 as a second Earth rather than an official designation.
