Part of the massive world-building in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a shot of an encased Robin suit in the Batcave.  Covered in graffiti and featuring a broken staff, it's heavily implied that the Joker killed this Robin.  

In the comics, "Batman: A Death in the Family" is a story arc from Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo which featured the Joker killing the second Robin, Jason Todd.  It's unclear if the first Robin, Dick Grayson exists in the DCEU but WB may have given indication that the suit in Affleck's Batcave belongs to Todd.  

The below image was posted to the official Batman v Superman instagram account on April 27.  In Death in the Family, the Joker killed Jason Todd on April 27.  Is this an extreme coincidence or a meta-message from WB to its longtime comic book fans?

what from this picture implies that it is Jason Todd? other than the fact that the joker killed this Robin as he did Todd in the comics. Could adapt that story to any of the robins

@Superman007 @AlexdoxA- Thanks, I see now. I overlooked it because there were no years attached to the dates so I thought they both meant the same day(the recent April 27th)

I'm just going to say this,

if it ain't Jason then that's [frick]ing stupid on WB and Snyder.

Why have a dead Robin and it be Dick over Jason?

It makes no sense and would be [frick]ing stupid.

@LEVITIKUZ - that would be terrible and deprive us of nightwing in the DCEU. I just want the bat family in a movie
