Final night time, Gunn — who just lately wrapped filming on his upcoming Superman reboot starring David Corenswet — took to his X account to announce that DC Studios is partnering with newly-founded, New Orleans-based studio Swaybox to supply Dynamic Duo.
The animated movie, penned by Matthew Aldrich (Coco, Lightyear) and directed by Swaybox co-founder Arthur Mintz will chronicle the early days of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd (two of Batman’s many Robins) working collectively as high-flying vigilantes. Matt Reeves is hooked up to supply together with Swaybox’s different co-founder, Theresa Andersson.
Regardless of Reeves’ involvement and the latest success of his The Penguin HBO spinoff, Deadline reviews that Dynamic Duo is not going to hook up with the cinematic world of 2022’s The Batman. Dynamic Duo is reportedly going to go all-in on Swaybox’s signature “Momo animation” — a mode that blends CGI and sensible stop-motion with bodily performing.
Relying on the movie’s aesthetic and its method to specializing in the Robins fairly than their traditional mentor, Dynamic Duo might be a shock delight for DC Studios. However that may most likely rely upon how receptive audiences are to one more DC cinematic universe.
