Was having a conversation with 
animagusurreal about his all-anthro universe adaptation of the 2005 animated version of Krypto the Superdog and got to thinking about what other DC characters could be adapted to an all furry universe. Not just established animal/funny animal characters, like Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew/Justa Lotta Animals or animal sidekick characters like the League of Super Pets/Executive Familiars or Ch'p/B'dg and Dex-Starr.
You seem to get bonus comedy points the closer you can keep the pun names to the original names or initials, a la Marvel's "What the . . .?" Peter Parker/Spider-Ham stories, so I've tried to go that route.
Yes, most of these are dogs, so sue me. :P I've been watching Dog City and Road Rovers, lately.
Superdog, a.k.a. Bark Kent ( animagusurreal) / Ken-El (mine)): adaptation of of Krypto from his 2005 stand-alone show / comics. Love interests would include Lana Labb and Lois Dane and he'd probably have a pal named Jimmy Ottsen. :-P
Toy-Breed (or Toy-Dog) / Winslow Schipp (Schipperke): best gag was able to come up with on Winslow Schott based on an actual toy breed (wanted to use "Scot," "Rott" or "Plott" but none of those are toy dogs). Maybe I can find one from the Jack Nimball/"Funhaus" version that isn't Jack Poodle. :-P The Hiro Okamura good-guy version would no doubt be Hiro Shibamura or Okashiba, since Shiba inu are a toy breed according to the AKC.
Mad Hat-Hare (or just "Hat-Hare" or even "March Hare"): furry version of Mad Hatter/Jervis Tetch. No animal pun name on Jervis Tetch, yet. I thought of maybe Lepus Tetch, but I prefer any animal pun names to be surnames. Were he a dog he could be Jervis Fetch, but then I would have to change his criminal name.
Green Lantern Norton "Nort" J. Herald: an alternate version of G'nort who is competent and from Earth, while one of his fellow Lanterns, G'guy is an idiotic human-like being from another planet. I had thought of having power collars instead of rings, but that would be taking the joke too far.
Mr. Mxyptlick: since he made this joke himself in the DCAU, a dog version of "Mixie." But since he is a fifth dimensional being and not technically human, he could probably be his normal self. Starro appeared in Captain Carrot, after all.
Captain Marvel: couldn't come up with a pun on this name, but found several dog names that Billy Batson could be turned into: Bassett, Boston (Terrier), Beauceron, Belgian (Malinois) . . .
Martian Mailmanhunter: alternate universe version of Marvin Martian's dog, K-9. Martian Leghumper would be too crude.
Suede Wilson, aka Deathyoke. His Marvel Universe parody has the exact same name and species but is named "Deadbull." :P
Catrocitus: combination of Atros/Atrocitus and Dex-Starr.
General Drul-Zod: alternate version of Dom, the leader of General Zod's "three naughty doggies" from the Krypto the Superdog comic issue "Heel Before Dom."
Lady Sheba / Sandra Miu-San: cat version of Lady Shiva. Would have gone for a dog version, Lady Shiba, but wanted a breed/species that was not nationality-specific, since Sandra is not Japanese (that they've said) in the comics.
Box-Ur or Fox-Ur: dog or fox version of Kryptonian villain Jax-Ur.
