Animated Robin Origin Story ‘Dynamic Duo’ Set at DC Studios, Featuring Dick Grayson and Jason Todd
variety.comAdam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer DC Studios is getting together the Dynamic Duo — just not the one you might expect.
Ahead of the debut of DC’s animated Max series “Creature Commandos,” the studio is mounting its first animated feature project, “Dynamic Duo,” with Warner Bros.
Pictures Animation. But rather than focus on Batman and Robin, the film will serve as an origin story for Robin and Robin — a.k.a.
Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. Matthew Aldrich (“Coco,” “Lightyear”) is writing the film, which will be produced by Matt Reeves’ production company 6th & Idaho — but the story will be separate from Reeves’ ongoing Gotham-verse with “The Batman” and “The Penguin.” Instead, it will depict how the friendship between Grayson and Todd as youths becomes tested by their diverging ideas for what their future should be. (Reports that the characters will begin as a pair of thieves in the film were false.) In the DC comics, after their respective stints as Batman’s sidekick, Robin, Dick becomes the superhero Nightwing, while Jason transforms into the violent vigilante Red Hood.
