WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THE JOKER ACTUALLY TURNS OUT TO BE ROBIN?

- August 18, 2015

Waiting for a superhero movie can be hard, especially when you’re a comic book fan eager to see certain material translated for the big screen. As a result, many of us obsessively analyze images and trailers to try to figure out plots points in said movie. Occasionally this can produce unusual theories, and in Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice’s case, there's a doozy. Over the past several months, it’s been speculated that Jason Todd, a.k.a. the second Robin, is actually the DCCU’s Joker seen inSuicide Squad and possibly a Batman v Superman flashback. Now one fan has stumbled upon new "evidence" that seemingly backs up this idea.

Reddit user DeathByRequest noticed something unusual from the two pictures below: Joker’s Suicide Squad promotional portrait and the Robin suit seen in the latest Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer. If you look closely, you’ll notice that there are two circular marks on each of Joker’s shoulders (one by the demonic jester’s hat, the other by one of the "HAs"), which DeathByRequest believes may be "a gunshot, puncture, or burn mark." Now take a look at the Robin suit, and you’ll see two similar circular marks on the shoulders as well. This goes along with previous speculation that Joker’s tattoos are actually clues to Jason being the new Clown Prince of Crime.
