When the “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” trailer hit the Internet people immediately noticed the Robin suit which is covered in what looks like some form of writing from The Joker. The image launched a lot of fan theories but also confirmed that Robin definitely exists in this universe.
Yesterday a new hot rumor hit the Internet as El Mayimbe of Heroic Hollywood reported that Zack Snyder’s son, Eli Snyder, would be playing the dead Robin who formerly occupied the suit in the trailer. Photographer Clay Enos also seems to be playing up the rumor via Twitter.

So could this rumor be true? It certainly wouldn’t be unlikely as Snyder has cast Eli in small parts before. He played young Rorschach in “Watchmen” as well as a young Leonidas in “300.” There are still a lot of secrets surrounding “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” that have yet to be revealed and Robin’s identity is one of them. Something tells us we’ll find out for sure sooner rather than later.
