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. Both characters are orphans who become the superhero Robin, sidekick of Batman. The term "Dynamic Duo" typically refers to the pairing of Batman and Robin.[1][2] Variety said early reports that Grayson and Todd would begin the film as thieves were not true.[3] 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 co-chairmen and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran were also producing the film alongside Mintz's wife and Swaybox co-founder/co-CEO Theresa Andersson, while Michael E. Uslan was serving as an executive producer.[1] 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 in October, Mintz described the film as a "modest character-piece" while comparing the film's action sequences to those in the film The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).[4] In December, DC Studios scheduled the film for a release date of June 30, 2028, while Lynn Harris of 6th & Idaho was also confirmed to be producing.[5]

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 on June 30, 2028, in IMAX.[5]
