Robin Movie: James Gunn's DC Studios Announces Batman Spinoff Dynamic Duo

As a lifelong DC Comics fan who’s seen my fair share of Batman iterations and Robin sidekicks, I can’t contain my excitement about the upcoming animated movie, “Dynamic Duo“. The combination of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, two of the most iconic Robins in Batman’s history, is a dream come true for many fans like myself.


Wowza! As a die-hard DC fan, here’s my spin: “By golly, what a thrill! It’s me, your friendly neighborhood Batman enthusiast, and let me tell you – the original Robin, Dick Grayson, and the second in line, Jason Todd, are joining forces for an upcoming animated flick titled Dynamic Duo. On Tuesday, DC Studios co-head James Gunn took to social media to announce this Batman spinoff, describing it as a unique blend of animation, puppetry, and CGI. The project is being backed by 6th & Idaho, the production banner from Matt Reeves (The Batman) and Warner Bros. Animation in collaboration with Swaybox, an animation studio based in New Orleans.

Robin Movie: James Gunn's DC Studios Announces Batman Spinoff Dynamic Duo

I’m thrilled beyond belief to share that DYNAMIC DUO, our latest animated film from DC Studios/Warner Bros Pictures, has been given the green light for theaters! The story revolves around Robin – or rather, Robins, featuring Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. This groundbreaking project is a collaboration between Swaybox, who are combining animation, puppetry, and CGI, and Matt Aldrich’s brilliant scriptwriting. Working alongside our partners at Matt Reeves’ 6th & Idaho, we believe this unique blend of talent has created something truly extraordinary.

Similar to the animated series “Batman: Caped Crusader,” produced by Reeves, “Dynamic Duo” stands alone independent from the ongoing “Batman Epic Crime Saga,” which includes 2022’s “The Batman,” HBO’s “The Penguin” series, and the planned sequel “The Batman Part II.” It remains unclear if the upcoming Robin movie, titled “The Brave and the Bold,” is set within the same universe as it features Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s biological son who was raised and trained by the League of Assassins, as the live-action Boy Wonder.

In many iterations of Batman stories, Todd assumes the role of Robin once Dick Grayson matures, leaves to join a new team known as the Teen Titans, and eventually adopts the identity of Nightwing.

Arthur Mintz, one of the founders of Swaybox in New Orleans alongside Theresa Andersson, is helming the production of “Dynamic Duo“, a film scripted by Matthew Aldrich. For years, director Matt Reeves has desired to create a film with Arthur and Swaybox, and for that project to be none other than “Dynamic Duo“, an exceptional and distinctive Batman and Robin tale intended for families, is a cherished dream. In a statement, Reeves expressed this sentiment.

The DC Studios co-chairmen and CEOs, James Gunn (known for his work on “Superman“) and Peter Safran (famous for his work on “Aquaman” ), serve as producers for the project, alongside Reeves’ 6th & Idaho Motion Picture Company, and Mintz and Andersson for Swaybox Studios. Michael Uslan, a producer within the Batman franchise, is the executive producer.
