Things are definitely going to be different in the DCU under James Gunn, as the latest project to be announced is a mixed-media movie about two different Robins.
While it’s yet to be confirmed whether it will be part of the main DCU continuity or will be isolated within the universe’s Elseworlds banner, James Gunn has announced another film from his tenure at DC Studios: Dynamic Duo, The film stars Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, the first two incarnations of Batman’s classic sidekick Robin. “Excited to announce Dynamic Duo, DC Studios/Warner Bros. Animation’s latest theatrical release, telling the story of Robin…or should I say, Robins,” Gunn wrote on Twitter. Just like Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.

“The first feature film from the visionary Swaybox, a blend of animation, puppetry and CGI, from a script written by the talented Matt Aldrich, who we collaborated with on Matt Reeves’ Deadline has provided some additional details about the new film, which is being co-produced by Sixth Cinema in Idaho, explaining that Swaybox is a new animation studio based in New Orleans, led by the husband-and-wife team of Arthur Mintz and Theresa Anderson. Apparently, Mintz was the one responsible for directing this particular project.

Also involved is The Batman director Matt Reeves, although he serves as producer and it has nothing to do with his own The Batman epic crime saga. “I’ve wanted to make a movie with Arthur and Sweetbox for years, and this movie became ‘Dynamic Duo,’ a very special and unique take on Batman and Robin,” Reeves said in a statement. A family story, a dream.
I’m a huge fan of all anime, and I’m definitely excited about this one just considering the quality of Swaybox’s Showreel. This definitely feels like Gunn’s attempt at a Spider-Man movie, and if he pulls it off, I’m all for it.
