Dynamic Duo’ Early Look Surfaces as Scrapped Catwoman Project’s Role Comes Into Focus

The puppetry‑driven Swaybox film is set for June 30, 2028, with its DCU status still undecided.

Overview

  • Behind‑the‑scenes images and early footage circulating online are drawing interest, though some materials may be from Swaybox’s canceled Catwoman project rather than Dynamic Duo, according to DC Film News.
  • Theories about a Joker link stem from a purple‑and‑green building seen in one image, but any connection remains unconfirmed.
  • Swaybox co‑founder Arthur Mintz said a kid‑focused Catwoman feature for HBO Max was greenlit then canceled three months into work when Warner Bros. Discovery scaled back streaming output, cutting 42 projects.
  • Reports say Matt Reeves showed Catwoman footage to CEO David Zaslav, who praised it and urged a ‘larger story,’ a push that led to the Dick Grayson/Jason Todd film now in development.
  • Swaybox’s Arthur Mintz directs using the studio’s hybrid puppetry approach, with Matt Reeves and James Gunn producing; Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber were reported to have rewritten the script, and the movie is billed for June 30, 2028 as a DC StudiosWBPA collaboration.
