Co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn announced an interesting new animated film project titled Dynamic duowhich will focus on two Robins: Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.
Gunn shared the news on Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.
“The first feature film by the visionary Swaybox, a mix of animation, puppets and CGI, a screenplay by the talented Matt Aldrichproduced with our partners at Matt Reeves’ 6th and Idaho. This is something special.
The film will be a mix of animation, puppetry and CGI, which could look really interesting. You can actually see what it looks like visually in a Swaybox reel that I’ve included below. I’m really curious to see what they will do with the DC world in this media fusion art style.
While The Batman director Matt Reeves is involved in the project, this is not expected The Batman universe. We also don’t know if it will be set in Gunn’s DCU, but it would be fine if it were just a standalone project.
As a fan of animation, I can’t wait to see what comes of this project.
Dick Grayson, originally introduced as the first Robin, is a seminal character in DC Comics. Orphaned as a child when his acrobatic family, the Flying Graysons, were murdered, he was adopted by Bruce Wayne, who trained him to be his crime-fighting partner.
Grayson eventually steps out of the Robin mantle and adopts the persona of Nightwing, becoming a hero in his own right, primarily protecting the city of Blüdhaven.
Over time, he led several teams, including the Teen Titans and the Outsiders, and even briefly took on the mantle of Batman.
Jason Todd is a complex character in the DC Universe, best known for being the second person to take on the role of Robin, Batman’s sidekick. Introduced in 1983, Jason’s first portrayal mirrored his predecessor, Dick Grayson, but was later redefined as a more rebellious and aggressive character.
His tenure as Robin ended tragically in the 1988 storyline “A Death in the Family”, where he was brutally murdered by the Joker after a fan’s vote determined his fate. Years later, Jason was resurrected in the “Under the Hood” storyline, becoming the antihero Red Hood.
As Red Hood, Jason struggles with his violent tendencies and desire for justice, often clashing with Batman’s more restrained methods.
I’m thrilled to announce the new DC Studios/Warner Bros Pictures Animation film hitting theaters, DYNAMIC DUO, the story of Robin… or should I say, Robins, as in Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. The first feature film by the visionary Swaybox, a mix of animation,… pic.twitter.com/IBBMgP1riP
