Is Zack Snyder's Son Playing Robin In Batman v Superman Flashback?

Now here’s an interesting one. The latest rumours surrounding Warner Bros’ superhero epic ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ have suggested we’ll see a young Robin in action.

Not just that, but the young Robin will supposedly be played by none other than director Zack Snyder’s son Eli.

This wouldn’t be the first instance of Snyder indulging in a little nepotism. He has cast Eli in his films before, as the younger versions of heroes Leonidas and Rorschach in '300’ and 'Watchmen’ respectively.

When he’s not filming comic book adaptations with his father, Eli is a successful high school quarterback for Maranatha High Varsity Football. Standing at “6'0” and 174 pounds" he’s certainly built like a superhero.

The news comes from Umberto Gonzalez of Heroic Hollywood, whose previous report about a Robin outfit being in Ben Affleck’s Batcave was proved correct by the film’s Comic Con trailer.

In the trailer there is a Robin suit on display, defaced by Jared Leto’s Joker. According to the new report, we will see what happened in a flashback sequence.

We don’t know which incarnation of Robin was once in the suit, but it’s likely to have been Jason Todd - the second Robin who Joker brutally beat to death in famed comic storyline 'A Death in the Family’.

We’ll find out for sure when 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ is released on 25 March 2016.
