DC Confirms 'Dynamic Duo' as Robin‑vs‑Red Hood Origin Told in Hybrid Puppet‑CG Animation

The Annecy reveal signals DC's push into tactile hybrid animation by reimagining Dick Grayson and Jason Todd for a teen, out‑of‑continuity story.

Overview

  • The Warner Bros./DC presentation at the Annecy festival on Monday, June 22, 2026, officially confirmed that Dynamic Duo follows Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as childhood partners who split into Robin and a reworked Red Hood gang.
  • Warner Bros. and Swaybox showed first test footage at Annecy, including a reflective Red Hood helmet subway shot and director commentary about the helmet revealing character identity.
  • The film will use a deliberate hybrid technique that combines miniatures, large-scale puppetry and animatronics with computer animation to create a textured, tactile look.
  • Dynamic Duo is presented as a standalone, out‑of‑continuity, teen‑focused origin story and is slated for a theatrical release in 2028.
  • The Annecy slate also announced other DC Animation projects such as My Adventures with Green Lantern and highlighted Swaybox and Warner Bros.' broader investment in experimental, practical/CG animation work.
