10 Shocking (But Believable) Theories About Suicide Squad

6. Scott Eastwood Is Playing Dick Grayson

Scott Eastwood is one of a bunch of actors set to appear in Suicide Squad whose character name is yet to be announced. This, of course, has led to lots of theories and speculations with regards to his mysterious role in the movie, though there is a one theory in particular - a bit far-out in its conceit, admittedly - that you could certainly argue has some weight. Ardent Batman fans will instantly recognise the name "Dick Grayson," given that he was one of many characters to take on the guise of Robin in the comic lore. And the theory in question pins Eastwood's ARGUS agent character (ARGUS being the government agency led by Amanda Waller) as an undercover Dick Grayson - somebody sent in by Batman in order to keep tabs on what is happening behind the scenes; a double agent, if you will. Whilst it's easy to poke a lot of holes in this theory, it's not exactly one worthy of major scoffs, either; should it turn out to be true, it would result in a huge, unexpected twist - one that would make sense within the context of the film and bring a new dynamic to the Batman/Robin relationship that has yet to be seen in a motion picture. Bring it on.
