DC Studios is putting out a public casting call for its upcoming Batman-adjacent feature Dynamic Duo, and anyone can try out.
Next Saturday, November 15, animation studio Swaybox will look at online auditions to work as a performer for the puppet-animated flick. The video below shows the work will entail controlling characters or items by yourself or with a team and in front of a blue or green screen. Though Swaybox has mainly put the call out to fans of “film, comics, animation, and puppetry,” it stressed there’s “no experience necessary.” All you’ll need to audition is “a ruler and a way to film yourself,” and the tryout will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT.

Dynamic Duo centers on Batman’s first two Robins, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, who are early into their superhero careers as the film opens. Notably, the film is produced by Matt Reeves, though it’s said to be completely disconnected from his live-action The Batman universe. It’s also been described as a mix between “CG, practical stop-motion, and live-action real-time performances,” similar to Laika’s Coraline. (That studio’s next feature, Wildwood, also seems to employ similar filmmaking techniques.)
If you think you’ve got what it takes to be part of the Swaybox crew, you can audition on Saturday, November 15. For everyone else, Dynamic Duo hits theaters June 30, 2028.
