Bruce Wayne is blinded by rage in Batman v Superman for reasons that go far beyond the destruction of Wayne Tower in the battle of Metropolis. Dialogue and imagery alludes to the death or corruption of a Robin and Snyder even goes as far as to show a defaced Robin costume in the armoury.

Heck even Suicide Squad confirms the death of a Robin at the hands of The Joker and Harley Quinn. In this universe, Bruce Wayne has been Batman for many years so it is fair to assume that there is a bat-family out there consisting of Robin and Nightwing among others.

What happened to them and where are they now? Key questions that will surely flesh out the character of Batman and the greater universe if answered correctly. The heirs to The Bat clan assumedly have strong opinions on his more brutal methods, another gold mine of character development if executed correctly.

Regardless, fans definitely want to see the extended Bat-Family in this film and Affleck will need to weave them into this tale.
