DC fans just got a clear answer to a confusing question. Dynamic Duo, the animated film about Jason Todd and Dick Grayson, is officially part of the Elseworlds banner, not the main DCU canon. It also has a new release date.

For studio background, see DC Studios on Wikipedia.

Dynamic Duo : Overview

Detail	Info
Classification	Elseworlds (non-canon)
New release date	September 22, 2028
Previous date	June 30, 2028
Story	Centers on Batman allies Jason Todd and Dick Grayson
Voice cast	Logan Kim (Jason Todd), Mason Thames (Dick Grayson)

Why the Confusion?

Gunn said from the start that Dynamic Duo would be Elseworlds. Still, rumors spread in recent weeks that it might join the main DCU, with one report even claiming the voice cast would reprise their roles in live-action. Logan Kim shut that down with a flat “No” in an Instagram comment, though that fan post has since been deleted.

The DC Studios setup makes the mix-up easy to understand. It has two labels: the DC Universe for canon films and shows, and Elseworlds for non-canon stories.

Canon vs Elseworlds: Guide

Label	What It Means	Example
DCU	Shared, connected continuity	Superman (2025)
Elseworlds	Standalone, non-canon takes	The Batman universe, Dynamic Duo

The Batman Part II Update

Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II also remains Elseworlds and is set for February 18, 2028, after several date shifts. Production began in June, but DC Studios confirmed this week that filming has temporarily paused while Reeves focuses on a family matter. Deadline sources say it’s too early to know whether the date will be affected, so treat the 2028 date as subject to change.

More Elseworlds on the Way

Project	Format	Quick Note
Absolute Batman	Animated series	Reimagines Bruce Wayne as a working-class kid from Crime Alley

Don’t expect crossovers. Dynamic Duo stands on its own.
Watch for date shifts. Production pauses can ripple into release schedules.
Try the animated slate. Several Elseworlds shows may arrive before the 2028 films.
