The movie’s teaser reveals a star-studded cast of actors, such as Kate McKinnon, John Krasinski, Reeves, Hart and Dwayne Johnson. Johnson is playing Krypto the Superdog: Superman’s best friend and loyal pet.
Hart is voicing “Ace the Bathound,” Batman’s canine crime-fighting partner. His first appearance was in “Batman #92 (June 1955).” He teamed up with Batman after his master was attacked by counterfeits.
