DC Studios Reveals Animated Origin Film for the Robins: ‘Dynamic Duo’ in Development

As a seasoned gamer with decades of immersion in DC’s rich universe under my belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming animated film, “Dynamic Duo.” The prospect of witnessing Dick Grayson and Jason Todd’s origin story unfold on the big screen, through the innovative blend of CGI animation, practical stop-motion elements, and live-action real-time performance, is nothing short of tantalizing.


DC Studios is developing numerous projects for a fresh start, building the DC Universe (DCU) from scratch under James Gunn’s guidance. The initial phase of this new era kicks off with the premiere of ‘Creature Commandos’, but its full influence will be apparent when Superman makes his appearance in 2025.

Currently, Matt Reeves is broadening his Batman Crime Mega-Narrative. So far, Reeves’ universe is gaining momentum, notably with the film The Penguin, which has been praised by both critics and viewers alike.

It appears that Gunn and Reeves are planning to work together on a brand-new animated movie focusing on the backstory of Robin, which goes by the title Dynamic Duo. This exhilarating venture has been officially approved by DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures Animation.

For the first time, DC Studios and WBPA, under the leadership of Bill Damaschke, are teaming up for a project. This upcoming film is penned by Matthew Aldrich and produced by Swaybox Animation Studio, a fresh studio based in New Orleans, founded by Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson, who are a married couple.

In this version, Mintz is set to oversee the movie that delves into the formative years of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, who are jointly recognized as the Robins.

The film won’t link up with the current DC universes that Reeves and Gunn are involved in producing.

As a thrilled fan, I’m excited about Swaybox leveraging a cutting-edge technology called “Momo animation.” This unique blend of CGI, stop-motion, and live-action performance, including puppetry, promises visually breathtaking, emotionally resonant, and more authentic long-form narratives. Reeves is clearly enthused about this project too!

I have wanted to make a film with Arthur and Swaybox for many years, and for that film to be Dynamic Duo, an incredibly special and unique Batman and Robin story for families, is a dream.
