A new Robin movie has been unveiled by DC Studios. But there’s a twist: it’s set to be an animated film with “puppetry and CGI”.
As first reported byDeadline, Dynamic Duo will be brought to life by animation studio Swaybox. The co-creator, Arthur Mintz, will be on directing duties, with the movie focusing on two of Batman’s most iconic sidekicks, Jason Todd and Dick Grayson.
Despite having no ties toThe Batmanuniverse (its connections to the wider DCU reboot remains unclear), director Matt Reeves will help produce the feature, which is currently undated.
“I have wanted to make a film with Arthur and Swaybox for many years, and for that film to be Dynamic Duo, an incredibly special and unique Batman and Robin story for families, is a dream,” Reeves said in a statement.
A demo reel from Swaybox’s trademark ‘Momo Animation’ style gives a small glimpse, perhaps, of what to expect from Dynamic Duo. You can see it for yourself below.
