Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber have been taped to rewite “Dynamic Duo,” a theatrical animated film featuring Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, who have both taken up the mantle of Batman’s sidekick Robin, TheWrap has exclusively learned.
Arthur Mintz, who co-founded Swaybox with his wife Theresa Andersson, will direct the project.
In DC Comics history, Jason Todd joined the “Batman” mythos as a new Robin to take the place of Dick Grayson, who had left Batman’s side to lead the Teen Titans. In this film, Dick and Jason will both be Robins, training to defend Gotham side-by-side alongside Batman.
Matt Reeves, director of “The Batman” and its upcoming sequel, will produce through his 6th & Idaho banner, though “Dynamic Duos” will take place in a separate timeline from his films starring Robert Pattinson.
Andersson and Gunn will also produce with DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran. Michael Uslan is executive producer.
Neustadter and Weber are best known for writing “500 Days of Summer.” The duo were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for 2017’s “The Disaster Artist.” Other creidts include 2022’s “Coraline” and 2023 miniseries “Daisy Jones & the Six.”
Neustadter and Weber are rpped at UTA.
DC Studios declined to comment.
