Two Robins Will Team Up In DC Studios’ “Dynamic Duo”

    The first DC Studios project to fall under the Gunnverse umbrella will be an animated one: “Creature Commandos,” which hits Max in December. But after that, then what? Today we learned of an animated project of a different sort… a stop-motion film called “Dynamic Duo.”

    The phrase “dynamic duo” has always meant Batman and Robin, but in this movie, Batman isn’t part of it. The “duo” in question is instead Robin and….Robin. The pic is described as an origin story for both Dick Grayson and Jason Todd…who will possibly team up at some point.

    Of course in the comics, Grayson and Todd are pretty far apart. Grayson was the original Robin, but eventually broke with Batman to go solo as Nightwing. Todd would eventually replace him, but not for long — many Batman readers found him irritating and DC set up a hotline where they could vote on whether or not the character should be killed off. “Death to Todd” won out….but like most comic book characters, he would eventually come back to life anyway and run around as the Red Hood.

    Since this is the “official” film and television continuity now, does that mean Batman will have two Robins at once, if and when his film gets made? That’s what this seems to be implying, but we’ll see.

    Gunn said in a tweet that “Dynamic Duo” is being produced by the stop-motion company Swaybox and will be “a mix of animation, puppetry, and CGI.” No, we don’t think the word “puppetry” indicates Dick and Jason are going to look like Grover, but I guess the odds aren’t zero.

    The movie will be directed by Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson, the former of which is the co-founder of Swaybox. Matthew Aldrich is writing the script and Gunn, Peter Safran and Matt Reeves are serving as producers.

    We’ll have more on “Dynamic Duo” as info comes out.
