Well. Heck.
Say what you will, but this movie is Warner Bros. finally getting someone on board who knows and cares about the comics. And when it comes to Superman, it's sometimes unusual for the writers themselves to know more about Superman than the readers. I'm not sure there's exactly misinformation out there, but there is a dearth of Super-info regarding the Amazing World of Superman.
What I think you can expect is that people will say "that is crazy" or "that is kind of silly". Super dogs? Super robots? Yes. Absolutely. And it's long been my stance that if you're going to do Superman, you should lean into the Superman-ness of it all. Despite the fact this has been Superman since Eisenhower was in office, and we've had multiple Superman shows and movies over the years, people really have never seen giant chunks of what Superman is.
Superman fell into a weird spot where the was cost prohibitive to show a lot of what's in the comics on the big screen in the 40's and 50's when serials were coming out. In the 1970's and 80's, just seeing a guy fly and do heat-vision was enough. When it became possible via CGI to show robots, dogs, etc.., it was believed at Warner Bros. that Superman needed to be something not in line with the comics. Some of the joyless take appeared in Superman Returns, which tried to straddle the earnestness of the Reeves movies with the edginess that was coming - and fell into the crevasse in-between. But most of it came from Zack Snyder's Ayn Randian Ubermench who wasn't sure he wanted to help people if it was going to be a whole thing. Kelex was turned into a robot that tries to murder Lois Lane on sight.
But real ones know:
