The DC Universe is getting bigger and a separate animal kingdom is forming as Warner Bros is developing a movie centered on the pets of superheroes. It seems DC is banking on its superhero universe to work its magic and now that its superheroes are all over the place fighting their battles, it's time they looked for more supers to bring to the table. This brings us to pets owned by famous DC characters. 

According to Collider, the studio has hired The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie co-writer Jared Stern to pen animated feature 'Super Pets'. Stern has previously penned 'The Watch,' 'Wreck-It-Ralph,' 'Mr Popper's Penguins' and 'The Internship' but had his first start with movies like 'Bolt,' 'The Princess and the Frog,' and 'Wreck-It Ralph.' He recently directed the Netflix comedy Happy Anniversary starring Noël Wells and Ben Schwartz.
