10 Off-Screen Movie Moments Audiences Deserved To See
10. A Death In The Family - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
With every new iteration of Batman, there are always the same questions that follow, one of which surrounds his sidekick. After the universally panned Batman and Robin in 1997, the Boy Wonder hasn’t really featured on the big screen, but there have been hints.
In the Dark Knight Rises, there was a nod in that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character’s real name was Robin, but there was nothing more than this. There was a much bigger reveal in Dawn of Justice regarding the dynamic duo involving Ben Affleck’s version of Bruce Wayne.
This was because there was real confirmation that Batman did work together with Robin at one point, but based on the haunting image of the latter’s costume with an obvious nod to the Joker plastered all over it, it didn't end well. It seems then that this Robin was Jason Todd, and that he was brutally killed by the Clown Prince of Crime.
This was again all but confirmed in Zack Snyder’s Justice League when the Joker teased Batman about sending a Boy Wonder to do a man’s job. It really feels as though this scene, and this story in general, could have and should have made a better movie than most of what Warner Bros. and DC have put out over recent years.
