For those who want to know how DC Studios differs from Marvel Studios, this is the best answer. Director James Gunn confirmed that the studio has greenlit the following films: dynamic duoserves as an origin story for Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, who become Robin, and is told through puppet animation.
Deadline first published the news and report The film “depicts the early days of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, aka the Robins.” It’s worth noting, though, that when fans hear the words “Dynamic Duo,” they don’t necessarily think of two Robins. I think it’s Robin and Batman in one. So let’s see how or if it affects you.
Gunn confirmed the project on his social media…

This all sounds very interesting and intriguing, but I have a question. What exactly is puppet animation? This movie is produced by a company called Swaybox. when you visit that websiteits style reminds me of something like a Leica. So maybe a kind of coralineIt has a windy look, but it’s from the DC Universe. Deadline describes it as “a blend of CGI animation, the practical elements of stop-motion, and the real-time performances of live-action.” The result is visually stunning, dynamically expressive, and more humanistic long-form storytelling. ”
Written by Matthew Aldrich, dynamic duo Directed by Arthur Mintz, one of the co-founders of Swaybox along with Teresa Anderson. DC Studios chief Gunn and Peter Safran are among the producers, as is director Matt Reeves. Batman.
“I’ve wanted to make a movie with Arthur and Swaybox for years, and that movie was… dynamic duoan incredibly special and unique family-friendly Batman and Robin story that is a dream come true,” Reeves told Industry. But despite his excitement, the film is not part of Reeves’ world. Hypothetically, it could serve as an origin story for the larger DC Universe or fit into the Elseworlds banner, but it’s unclear which at this point. When asked where this film fits in, a source close to the production only confirmed the news that it is not part of Reeves’ world.
But isn’t this fascinating? There is an anime program. creature commando, Gunn/Saffron This is the beginning of the DC Universe. Then a Superman movie, a Green Lantern show, a Supergirl movie, and maybe a Robin origin story with puppets? This is definitely not Marvel, but we’re happy for it.
