DC Studios has had a relatively quiet year in 2026 so far, but that’s all going to change later this month with the launch of the next feature film, Supergirl. Starring Milly Alcock, who first made her debut in Superman last year, Supergirl also features other big stars like Jason Momoa as Lobo and Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills. The DCU future — both on the big and small screen — is also bright in the months and years beyond Supergirl. The HBO original series Lanterns, starring Aaron Pierre as John Stewart and Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan, is coming on August 16. Pierre is also confirmed to reprise his role as John Stewart in the 2027 DC tentpole, Man of Tomorrow, led by David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
While there is a new Batman movie in the works at the DCU, different from The Batman Part II shooting under director Matt Reeves right now, there’s another Batman-adjacent project confirmed for release in theaters on June 30, 2028. Back in 2024, DC announced it was working on a Dynamic Duo movie, which would follow the origins of the first Robins, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. Casting for the film is still being kept under wraps, but Arthur Mintz has been tapped to direct with a script from Matthew Aldrich, Scott Neustadter, and Michael H. Weber.
Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently attended a DC Studios panel at Annecy Film Festival in France, where the first footage from Dynamic Duo was shown. The footage confirms that not only will Dick and Jason go by the film’s title, Dynamic Duo, but it’s also a new type of animated movie, leaning more into puppets than digital animation. It’s even being compared to the Spider-Verse films, not due to the similarities in animation, but because it is so original that there isn’t anything to compare it to. A version of Red Hood inspired by the Killing Joke comic will also appear in the film. Both Dick and Grayson will be 15 years old, and while the story centers around Dick teaming up with Batman to save his best friend, one of them will choose Red Hood and the other will choose Batman at the end of the film, leading them down wildly different paths.

Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
Advertisement
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Advertisement
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
Advertisement
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Advertisement
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Advertisement
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.

What Do We Know About the DCU’s Batman Movie?
Very little is known about the DCU’s Batman movie at this time, other than that it will be directed by Andy Muschietti, who recently worked on The Flash and IT: Welcome to Derry. The film has been in development for years now, and while it was once thought that Batman would have a key role in the early days of the DCU, it seems more likely now that he will be introduced at a later phase. The DCU’s Batman movie will feature an older Bruce Wayne, which has led fans to push for the casting of stars such as Jensen Ackles or Alan Ritchson in the lead role, instead of a younger, less established actor.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Dynamic Duo, which will be released in theaters on June 30, 2028.
