Development

[edit]

In October 2024, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation greenlit a theatrical animated film titled Dynamic Duo, to be focused on the origin story of the DC Comics characters Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, otherwise known as the Robins, as orphans and the "Dynamic Duo". Arthur Mintz was set to direct the film with Matthew Aldrich writing the script. The film's digital puppetry "Momo animation" technology, which combines computer animation with practical stop motion and live-action performances, was being provided by Mintz's animation studio Swaybox Studios. DC's The Batman (2022) director Matt Reeves was producing the film through his production company 6th & Idaho, but it is not connected to that film's continuity. DC Studios's James Gunn and Peter Safran also produce the film alongside Mintz's wife and Swaybox co-head Theresa Andersson.[1][2] Dynamic Duo is the first animated film produced by DC Studios and the first new project to move forward at that studio following the announcement of its initial DC Universe (DCU) slate.[3][4] Later that month, Mintz described the film as a "modest character-piece" while comparing the film's action sequences to those of The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).[4]

Marketing

[edit]

Early footage of the film was included in a sizzle reel of Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's slate presented at its LightBox Expo panel at the end of October 2024.[4]

Release

[edit]

Dynamic Duo is scheduled to be theatrically released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States in early-to-mid-2028.[4][2]
