15 Predictions For 2016 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong

14. The Joker Is Jason Todd - Suicide Squad

The fanbase positively imploded when this theory was put forth. One eagle-eyed fan noticed Jared Leto’s Joker appeared to have small, round scars on his shoulders. He combined this with the image of Robin’s defaced costume from the BVS trailer, which also appeared to have small holes on each shoulder.

This led to the wild theory that DC’s new Joker was formerly Jason Todd, who had gone insane and became Batman’s greatest nemesis. The filmmakers quickly denied this, but it had a healthy life online, with other fans deconstructing trailers and set photos to look for further proof.

Of course, nothing in Suicide Squad or Dawn Of Justice even hints at this angle, and they confirmed the two characters are indeed separate.
