RUMOR: 'The Joker' Will Appear In BATMAN v SUPERMAN To Recreate This Iconic Comic Scene
No wonder Jared Leto is bulking up! Based on a new report, it sounds like he'll be swinging around a crowbar in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice during the recreation of an iconic moment from the comic books. Hit the jump for details on that and Ben Affleck's Suicide Squad role...
Man of Steel didn't really tease a shared DC Cinematic Universe, but Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad look set to change that in a major way. Latino-Review have dropped some very interesting details about the ties between those two movies today, and it turns out that Jared Leto will be shooting scenes for both while in Toronto. They reveal that it will be a flashback scene which depicts The Joker beating Jason Todd, a.k.a. Robin, to death (presumably with a crowbar).
That will explain why he's behind bars and may even tie in with those rumours we heard a long time ago about Batman giving up crime fighting until Superman enters the scene. Robin's costume will be on display in the Batcave, and the site theorises that that could be what triggers the flashback. They also reveal that Bruce Wayne/Batman will be making an appearance in Suicide Squad, with the Batmobile reportedly on site in Toronto too. What do you think about these latest details?
