DC might be cross-pollinating their characters.
By Brandon Wolfe
Latino Review has posted a couple of juicy rumors concerning the burgeoning DC Cinematic Universe. We received our first look the other day at the new Insane Clown Posse Prince of Crime incarnation of the Joker as he will appear in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, which had been expected to be the character’s debut film. Now, it’s rumored, we might meet the character a bit sooner, in Batman v. Superman.
Rumblings have it that Jared Leto is filming a secret flashback sequence for next March’s superhero mash-up where we will see a depiction of the Joker torturing and killing Jason Todd’s Robin, as occurred in the 1988 comic “A Death in the Family.” Latino Review also reports that Todd’s Robin costume will be displayed in a glass casket in Wayne Manor during the film, and will possibly act as the trigger for the flashback.
On top of that, the website also claims to have been told that Bruce Wayne/Batman will be making an appearance in Suicide Squad, as will the Batmobile. Warner Bros. is clearly trying to retroactively achieve much of the world-building that Marvel has crafted so intricately. Except Marvel put in several years and films’ worth of work into establishing their universe. We’ll see how the quick-and-dirty method works for DC.
