James Gunn’s next big DC project is a two-in-one Robin movie that blends CGI, stop-motion animation, and live-action, and I’m Already Sold

Things are definitely going to be different in the DCU under James Gunn, as the latest project to be announced is a mixed-media movie about two different Robins.

While it’s yet to be confirmed if it will be part of the main DCU continuity or if it will be isolated within the universe’s Elseworlds banner, James Gunn has announced another film from his tenure at DC Studios: “Dynamic Duo,” a movie starring Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, the first two incarnations of Batman’s classic sidekick Robin. Gunn wrote on Twitter: “So excited to announce the latest DC Films/Warner Bros. animated film to be released in theaters, Dynamic Duo, the story of Robin…or should I say, Robins , like Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.”

“The first feature film from the visionary Swaybox, blending animation, puppetry and CGI from a script written by the talented Matt Aldrich, who we co-directed with Matt Reeves ), Deadline has some additional details on the new film, explaining that Swaybox is a new animation studio based in New Orleans and is being co-produced by Arthur Mintz. and Theresa Anderson husband and wife team leader. Mintz is clearly the one responsible for directing this particular project.

Also involved is The Batman director Matt Reeves, although he serves as producer and it has nothing to do with his own The Batman epic crime saga. Reeves said in a statement, “I’ve wanted to make a movie with Arthur and Sweetbox for years, and this movie became ‘Dynamic Duo,’ a very special and unique take on Batman and… Robin family story is a dream.”

I’m a big fan of all anime, and I’m definitely excited about this one just considering the quality of Swaybox’s Showreel. This definitely feels like Gunn’s attempt at a Spider-Man movie, and if he pulls it off, I’m all for it.
