Is This Who Will Play 'Robin' In BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE?

A while ago we heard rumors that the Boy Wonder would feature in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice in some capacity, and this was confirmed by a shot of the defaced Robin monument in the recent trailer. Do we now know which actor will be playing him?...

Judging by the above shot from the new Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice trailer, the Joker is going to enjoy taunting the Dark Knight by scrawling on the Robin suit monument in the Batcave. Fans have come to the conclusion that this must be because the Clown Prince Of Crime had something to do with the Boy Wonder's death, and there'd be a good possibility we'd see this via flashback in the movie. Now none of that has been confirmed of course, but we do now have a hot rumor that the character will definitely feature, and we might just know who'll be playing him.

According to Heroic Hollywood, it'll be none other than the director's son, Eli Snyder. If he looks familiar it's because he also played the young Leonidas in 300 and the young Rorschach in Watchmen. Snyder Jr. is now 6'0 foot tall Varsity athlete, so would certainly be a good physical fit the role of Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, or whichever incarnation of Robin is used. Chances are if this is true it will be a very small part, but what would you think about the casting?

Zack Snyder, you've [frick]ed up Dawn of Justice, Will Smith style.

I never imagined Joker snuck into the Batcave and defaced a monument to Robin; I always figured the taunting graffiti on the suit was put there by Joker at the time of Robin's murder. Bruce displays it in the cave as a kind of "never forget" memorial to his own failure to save Robin/Jason/whoever.

Chill dudes, it's probably just a flashback to where he's being beaten to death by The Joker, he wouldn't even need to act.

I hope he plays Tim Drake. This way Dick and Barbara are already Nightwing and Oracle. We know Jason has died and hopefully he will be in the next movie, as Red Hood. Another good thing is if he plays Tim, Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain shouldn't be far behind too.

And people are already bitching.

Chill guys, he's probably going to only be in the death scene and they're going to get another actor for resurrected Jason/Red Hood.

I would've preferred the guy who played Dandy in AHS Freak Show. Perfect age. Or even Jack O'Connell with black hair he looks exactly like Robin

It's probably a non speaking role and we all know there are tons of Robins. They're practically disposeable. Chances are we'll just get a quick glimpse of him being bludgeoned to death.

Yea and he's going to have to play Red Hood so he will play a much much larger role in the franchise so his role being small here is irrelevant considering it seems he's the glue between SS and DOJ

Wow that's nepotism of the will smith variety. Should really be casting a good actor if they're going with Jason Todd purely for the possibility of red hood somewhe down the line.

Eli having a cameo in his dad's CBMs is almost a tradition. I was surprised he wasn't in MoS.

So, articles based off of unsubstantiated rumors from wannabe reporters who are always wrong about their rumors are allowed on this site as "News"?

@harrybloodyscreaming exactly bro, could not have said it better myself. I dont get where some of these people are coming from with the joker sneaking into the batcave crap, come on now! lol.

Anyway i could see this as a flashback, it could be really cool and it would prolly just be a short few secs of robin getting beat to death, the kid should be able to pull that off lol. But i still think there will be a current robin in the movie, and it will be Carrie Kelley played by Jena Malone!

I hope we get Grayson as Nightwing

And, I really, really hope we see that Joker/Todd scene in Suicide Squad

@misterbatman212 Not if the death scene takes place many years before BvS, then they can always cast someone older.
