12 Comic Book Movie Rumours That Have Already Been Killed
8. Red Hood Will Be The Batman's Villain
The Rumour
Red Hood (Jason Todd, who isn't actually dead, obviously) will be the main villain in The Batman, after his appearance was seeded in Batman v Superman.
The Killer Proof
Unfortunately for fans of the brilliant story-line, it turns out that Deathstroke will be Batman's primary antagonist in his stand-alone. And the proof came courtesy of DC and Warner Bros who confirmed Joe Mangainello for the role.
Would It Have Been Any Good?
It would. Having that story come full circle would have pulled the DCEU together more organically, and made the Jason Todd story matter more than him just being a device to make Bruce Wayne temporarily a little bit sad.
And while Deathstroke is great, there's a slight feeling that it's going to just be another Batman v Empowered Opponent On His Level, which we've literally just had.
