First Look At DC’s ‘Dynamic Duo’ In Leaked Concept Art

We get a first look at the upcoming DC Dynamic Duo animated movie in the form of leaked concept art, which reveals the two Robins, Batman, and apparently both Nightwing and the Red Hood.

Three images showed up on X revealing Dick Grayson looking like his classic Robin from the comics. However, Jason Todd gets reworked with a red mohawk and costume to likely reflect how he eventually becomes the Red Hood.

The second piece of concept art shows off Gotham City and Wayne Tower, and if you look close enough, that appears to be Red Hood and Nightwing.

The third piece of art shows off a look at Batman along with the two young Robins, Dick and Jason.

DC's 'Dynamic Duo' Robin Animated Movie Gets A Release Date

What is Dynamic Duo about?

The animated movie will explore the origin of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, focusing on their early years as Robin.

According to a previous report, Dynamic Duo follows their friendship as it begins to fracture, with each taking a different path toward what they believe being a hero means.

Behind the movie

Matt Reeves is producing the film, with a script by Matthew Aldrich, known for Lightyear and Coco. Arthur Mintz directs; he previously worked in storyboarding on James and the Giant Peach and contributed to Netflix’s Emmy-winning Lost Ollie, which combined CGI and stop-motion animation.

Dynamic Duo will feature a “puppetry animation” style from Swaybox, a New Orleans-based studio founded by Mintz and his wife, Theresa Andersson.

The film is a collaboration between DC Studios and Bill Damaschke’s new Warner Bros. Pictures Animation division.

“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,” said Reeves in a previous statement.

Co-head of DC films, James Gunn, said, “Over the moon excited to announce the newest DC Studios/Warner Bros Pictures Animation greenlit film for theaters, DYNAMIC DUO, the story of Robin… or should I say, Robins, as in Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. The first feature film from the visionary Swaybox, a mix of animation, puppetry, and CGI, a script from the wonderfully talented Matt Aldrich, produced with our partners at Matt Reeves’ 6th and Idaho. This is something special.”

Release info

Dynamic Duo gets released in theaters on June 30, 2028, which includes IMAX.
