  "account": "DC Studios' upcoming animated feature, Dynamic Duo, has announced the casting of two young actors to voice the characters of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, the Robins of Gotham City. Mason Thames, known for his role in The Black Phone, will bring Dick Grayson to life, while Logan Kim, who starred in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, will voice Jason Todd. The film is being produced by Swaybox Studios, a unionized animation studio that utilizes a unique blend of CGI, practical stop-motion, and live-action performance capture called \"Momo animation.\" Swaybox co-founder Arthur Mintz is set to direct the film, alongside Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, Matt Reeves' 6th and Idaho, and DC Studios. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on September 22, 2028. Despite Matt Reeves' involvement, Dynamic Duo is not set in the universe of Reeves' The Batman franchise. Instead, it will present Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as orphans and childhood friends who are drawn apart by destiny. Grayson, as in the comics, will be taken in by Bruce Wayne and become Robin to his Batman, while Todd will gravitate towards the criminal Red Hood Gang. The film will also feature Lee Pace as Red Hood One and Steve Buscemi as Red Hood Two, bringing a thrilling dynamic to the criminal underworld of Gotham City.",
