‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Set Photo Hints Major Character's Death

Another photo from the set of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has been leaked online, giving fans a glimpse of a possible main plot in the film. The photo reportedly teases the death of a major character in the film. [Spoiler Alert!]

The photo was reportedly posted on imgur by a user who goes by the name of jbingles. However, it has since been taken down on multiple sites as per the request of Warner Bros. According to Screen Rant, the photo seems to have been taken from a funeral scene. It’s said to be the same photo taken from the Wayne mausoleum that fans have seen before since it reportedly has the geographic label of Lake Orion, Michigan, which is one of “Batman v Superman’s” major film locations.

According to ComicBookMovie, the photo was most likely taken from the gravesite of Bruce Wayne’s (Ben Affleck) parents, Thomas and Martha. However, the site also pointed out another tombstone, which is said to belong to Richard John Grayson.

In the DC comics, Richard John Grayson, formerly known as Batman’s first sidekick Robin, a.k.a. Nightwing, became the caped crusader himself after Bruce Wayne decided to live the non-hero life. Grayson’s involvement in the DC Universe was once teased with Joseph Gordon Levitt’s role in “The Dark Knight Rises” as John Blake. According to Forbes, John Blake was essentially Christopher Nolan’s version of Dick Grayson or John Grayson in the film. In the film, Grayson is a cop, much like the character in the comics. Fans have reportedly been expecting to see Dick Grayson in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

This is not the first Robin’s death in the DC Cinematic Universe. The character’s demise was also teased in another upcoming DC film aside from "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." Movie scoopster Umberto Gonzalez once mentioned the death of another Robin on his Instagram post about “Suicide Squad.” He said that when The Joker is introduced in the film, he would have already committed numerous crimes. This include killing off one of Batman’s sidekicks. However, he didn’t specify whether this Robin was Dick Grayson or possibly Jason Todd.
