8 More Movie Fan Theories Confirmed By The Creators

5. Robin Is Dick Grayson, Not Jason Todd - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

The Theory: When the trailers for Batman v Superman first showed footage of Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) staring mournfully at a vandalised Robin suit, many fans seemed convinced this was a nod to the doomed Jason Todd iteration of the Boy Wonder.

Some, however, contended that given Bruce's age in the movie, the suit could be a haunting relic of his past and in fact belong to the first-ever Robin, Dick Grayson.

The Confirmation: Over the summer, a fan tweeted Zack Snyder asking for clarification on the identity of Robin, and he simply replied, "Richard", clearly indicating Richard "Dick" Grayson.

Though Snyder holds the Word of God for Batman v Superman, the fact he's effectively been kicked from the creative side of the DCEU means this is very unlikely to actually pay off in the future.
