DC Studios is getting together the Dynamic Duo — just not the one you might expect.

Ahead of the launch of DC’s animated Max series “Creature Commandos,” the studio is producing its first animated feature film, “Dynamic Duo,” in collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. Instead of focusing on Batman and Robin, the movie will tell the origin story of Robin and Robin — also known as 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.

The animation will be brought to life by New Orleans-based Swaybox, with married co-founders Arthur Mintz and Theresa Andersson respectively directing and producing. Swaybox has pioneered an innovative approach to puppetry that is a hybrid of live-action motion capture, stop-motion animation and CG animation, but their efforts have never been showcased as prominently as they will be with “Dynamic Duo.”

Alongside Reeves and Andersson, DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are serving as producers, and Michael Uslan is contributing as an executive producer.

“Dynamic Duo” also signifies the initial new endeavor from DC Studios since Gunn and Safran first unveiled their lineup of film and TV projects in early 2023 .

Deadline first reported the news.
