While everyone was thinking that Jared Leto will appear as The Joker in “Suicide Squad,” it seems that he will have to do a cameo first in “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” showing several months before the former.
Eli Snyder has previously appeared in previous movies that were directed by his father. He was actually the young Leonidas in the epic movie “300” and also played the young Rorschach in “Watchmen.”
While fans would have wanted a big name actor to play the role of Robin in the movie, but the limited and cameo appearance of the role would just mean that the film is short-changing him with limited exposure.
However, the casting of Eli Snyder as Robin still does not answer the question about which dead Boy Wonder will be playing in the movie.
It seems that he would play Jason Todd, the second Robin in the DC Comics because he was brutally murdered by The Joker in the 1988 comics story “A Death in the Family.” However, sometime in April, there were leaked images of “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” showing a gravestone that has the name of Dick Grayson in it. So Eli Snyder could be playing Dick Grayson, the first sidekick of Bruce Wayne. It is possible that the movie will not take on the two-Robin angle in the comics and Bruce will only have one sidekick in the universe.
Why does everyone continue to say that because they saw that A robin is dead that another robin can’t be in it. The robin that they showed was most likely Jason Todd, the 2nd robin. Their are more then one
Yeah you’re right one Robin dies another Robin comes in. If Jena Malone plays that Robin then it’s gonna be Carrie Kelley but if she’s Barbara Gordon then she probably will be playing Oracle rather than Batgirl but there’s one issue, Jena’s length of hair despite she dyed her hair red she always kept it too short so i don’t know about that. She’s blonde now. Any suggestions?
If she is going to be Barbara Gordon she should be Batgirl in this movie and the next two solo Batman films and Oracle in the third. Batgirl is one of the most popular female superheroes in history and has been extremely underused in movies. I would rather see her as Batgirl first and later Oracle and from what I have heard Barbara’s legs were cured in the latest comics and she is an older Batgirl now so Oracle might not even be needed.
I don’t know much news about the new solo films but I have heard so far Nightwing is almost confirmed to be in them and the first film is going to focus on the ‘Red Hood’ storyline so it is obvious at this point the dead Robin in Suicide Squad is Jason Todd and it is very likely Tim Drake will be the third Robin in the solo films.
