He explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I love every dog, and any chance to work with a dog is a great time.

They\u2019re all business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a funny and oddly relatable observation from an actor stepping into one of cinema\u2019s most iconic roles. After all, if anyone knows about balancing power and humility, it\u2019s Superman, and the <em>Look Both Ways <\/em>actor seems to have found that same mix in his canine co-star. He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This dog, though, really felt like the perfect blend of well-trained and disciplined, but also a real living, breathing adventure dog.

Another pup, a white-haired sweetheart named Jolene, served as the on-set color reference for Krypto\u2019s fur, often twirling to Dolly Parton\u2019s \u201cJolene\u201d during lighting tests. It&#8217;s unclear whether or not Jolene was the dog David Corenswet is talking about, but it&#8217;s probably a safe bet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a summer overflowing with superhero fatigue, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/gods-monsters-everything-know-dcu-232025508.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:DCU\u2019s Chapter One;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">DCU\u2019s Chapter One<\/a> kickoff stood out precisely because it remembered what makes the hero super in the first place.
