DC Studios' Dynamic Duo Is Actually A Robin vs. Red Hood Movie; First Look At My Adventures With Green Lantern

Dynamic Duo isn't necessarily what we expected when it was first announced, as newly revealed plot details point to the animated movie pitting Robin (Dick Grayson) against Red Hood (Jason Todd).

DC Studios and Swaybox's Dynamic Duo will feature a combination of miniatures, models, puppetry, animatronics and computer animation. It may or may not be set in the DCU, but is expected to be a standalone, out-of-continuity adventure similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Much has been said about the movie revolving around both Dick Grayson and Jason Todd potentially being Robin at the same time, especially as it contradicts their respective comic book arcs. 

(500) Days of Summer writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber were tapped to rewrite the script last September, and we now have a better idea of what direction they're taking Dick and Jason in...and it isn't what we initially expected.

According to Discussing Film, Warner Bros. Animation revealed at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival that the Dynamic Duo "follows Jason [and] Dick as [a couple] of street rats who name themselves the 'dynamic duo.'" Eventually, they go their separate ways, with Dick joining Batman as Robin and Jason becoming a member of the Red Hood gang.

So, Robin vs. Red Hood? It certainly sounds that way, though this means Jason won't be suiting up as the Caped Crusader's Boy Wonder.

The Wrap adds, "There was one beautiful test shot of the Red Hood walking through a subway car; as 'Dynamic Duo' director (and Swaybox founder and co-CEO) Arthur Mintz said, when Todd looks in the shiny, reflective Red Hood helmet, he sees himself. When Dick Grayson looks at the helmet, he sees something very different."

No footage or images have been officially released, but we do have insights into how Batman and the Red Hood gang will be portrayed in Dynamic Duo:

In related news, a DC Animation slate banner reveals a first look at My Adventures with Green Lantern lead Jessica Cruz. Moana star Auli'i Cravalho voices Jessica, and the series is set to explore what happens when a Power Ring falls from the sky and chooses the "shy and kind-hearted high school student Jessica Cruz" to be its new champion.

An official logline adds, "Things get even worse when more debris from the Lanterns’ ancient space war arrives — along with their alien foes. To protect the Earth, Jess will have to overcome her fears, anxieties, and your typical teenage drama to lead a new Lantern Corps. against a terrifying foe."

I'm betting closer to TDK Batman rather than absolute. Absolute Batman has been awesome btw

So is Dynamic Duo canon or elseworlds?

@BobGarlen - They said it's probably DCU but they reserve the right to change their minds.

You ask me they should make it Reevesverse. This could be a good way of introducing the bat-family. Set it after the trilogy or just have Matt Reeves work it into his third film if he wants. He is a producer on Dynamic Duo after all.

@BobGarlen - Based on my extensive research, It may or may not be set in the DCU, but is expected to be a standalone, out-of-continuity adventure similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Cool , nice & diverse lineup of animated projects on that banner there imo…

The Dynamic Duo footage & premise sounds intriguing and I’m definitely interested in checking it out when it releases (I was hearing a 2028 release but not sure if that’s confirmed tbh).

Also really gotta catch up on My Adventures with Superman before checking out GL!!.

Pass. Give us a live action DCU Batman.

With as long as it's taking, we'll probably get the new DCU Batman headlining the new DCU V3 after they dump goofy Gunn.

@UltimaRex -

Question. I've seen several people refer to 2034. Why that year, and why will Gunn last that long?
UltimaRex
UltimaRex - 6/22/2026, 7:43 PM
@DocSpock - Gunn's DCU is clearly engineered to move forward with the fanbase it has. Unless it REALLY drops the ball with it's Batman, Wonder Woman or JL movies it will be pretty much unstoppable after MOT despite what anyone thinks here.

No one has ever been fired for making money.

So, let's look at the slate considering what we know,

2025, Superman.

2027, MOT.

2029, Superman saga 3.

2031, Superman saga 4.

2033, Kingdom Come and the end of Gunn's DCU?

Thus, the earliest news of the next DC reboot is 2034. The longer Kingdom Come takes, the longer the reboot comes.

An interesting alternate take. It seems like the most obvious ending would be Dick getting himself mortally wounded protecting Jason during a final fight between Batman and the Hoods. Then Jason becomes Robin at the end.

If MAWGreen Lantern is near as good as the Superman one, then we're in for a real treat.

Dick and Jason were actually Robin at the same time in the comics. At least on pre-Crisis Earth 1 and post-Crisis New Earth. Dick was Robin in the Teen Titans and Jason was Batman's Robin. They did the same thing on the Titans TV show.

Speaking of Titans TV shows, I'm looking forward to the latest devolution of the Teen Titans cartoon as seen on the DC animation banner up there.

Hard pass. This only confuses the general audience more. It could be a cute movie, but I’d rather have an impactful movie. One set in the continuity of the DCU, and I’m already perturbed that they are jumping to Damian as Robin and glossing over Dick’s time as the boy wonder.

@MuadDib - James Gunn. Right? Always glossing over dick.

Pretty cool idea for a movie, hope they work to distinguish Red Hood from his future Joker persona more than Zero Year did.
