10 Things To Expect From Upcoming DCEU Movies

4. Robin Is Played By An Actual Teenager

Though Robin was killed by The Joker and Harley Quinn before the DCEU even kicked off, it's incredibly likely that The Batman or another movie will feature a flashback to this event at some point.

Considering the effusively positive response to Marvel Studios casting an actual teenager in Tom Holland to play Peter Parker, it would certainly make sense for Warner Bros. to seek out their own young actor to play the Jason Todd version of Robin.

Rather than a hiring a 20-something actor to play the Boy Wonder, casting someone who actually still looks like a boy will ensure that this version of the character feels distinct and more grounded than previous screen iterations.

It'll also further emphasise his vulnerability, especially when he's inevitably offed by the Clown Prince of Crime.
