Animated Robin Origin Story ‘Dynamic Duo’ Set at DC Studios, Featuring Dick Grayson and Jason Todd


DC Studios mounting its first animated feature project, “Dynamic Duo,” which will serve as an origin story for Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.

Matthew Aldrich (“Coco,” “Lightyear”) is writing the film, which will be produced by Matt Reeves ’ production company 6th & Idaho — but the story will be separate from Reeves’ ongoing Gotham-verse with “The Batman” and “The Penguin.” Instead, it will depict how the friendship between Grayson and Todd as youths becomes tested by their diverging ideas for what their future should be. In the DC comics, after their respective stints as Batman’s sidekick, Robin, Dick becomes the superhero Nightwing, while Jason transforms into the violent vigilante Red Hood. The animation will be handled by New Orleans-based Swaybox, with married co-founders Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson respectively directing and producing.
