Film Theory: Is Suicide Squad's Joker ACTUALLY Batman's Boy Wonder?

Don't get me wrong, the newer, grittier version of Batman is fine and all, but I definitely miss the endless stream of Robin's weird one-liners from the 1960s. "Holy weird photographic thought processes!" "Holy priceless collection of Truscan hairnet!" "Holy interplanetary judgment!" Oh. Oh. Let me try one! Uhh... Holy Robin video focused on the online conspiracy

Welcome to the show where we put our research cards on the table and the wild cards are always wild. WOOOOOO! Joker, the clown prince who needs no introduction. And seriously, when I say he needs no introduction, he literally doesn't need any introduction, there are just some things that don't need to be explained again. Batman V Superman Plus I I already talked about him many times in my theories about the release of Suicide Squad last year. If you haven't seen them yet, you should do so by clicking the "i" icon in the right corner and after doing all that research and I got really excited to see the movie and test my theory, the Joker... was in like 5 minutes.

My theories were 5 times longer than the amount of time that

actually

ended up in the movie. I mean, I guess I should count my lucky stars, since those 5 minutes are two minutes longer than Jimmy Olsen lasted in this entire extended universe. "Miss Lane. Jimmy Olsen, photographer." *Shot* But still, a little disappointing. In fact, from my perspective, the most interesting part of this new DCEU Joker comes from the fans, or rather, the theorists. You see, before Suicide Squad hit theaters, HECK, even before Batman V Superman hit theaters, online theorists were guessing that the Joker wasn't exactly who he claimed to be.

That he wasn't just a street criminal mastermind like he's been in every other film incarnation, but instead he was Batman's favorite Boy Wonder, Robin. Robin, who had somehow transformed into a psychotic madman and for those of you who think you've heard this theory before, well... stick around because I think this one will surprise you. Now, as far as I can tell, this series of fans started collecting evidence with a Reddit post by Jason-G169 back in 2015, who started analyzing all the promotional materials about the holes in these movies and, legitimately, THERE ARE A LOT of strange coincidences. here: The bird tattoo on the Joker's arm, the way Joker holds his staff in the Suicide Squad poster is similar to how Robin's suit is positioned holding his spear in Batman V Superman, the bullet holes in the suit of Robin hanging in the Batcave coincide with strange points in Jared Leto's. shoulders and promotional shots from Suicide Squad AND the fact that in the video game Arkham Knight, one of Batman's former Robins has a J-shaped scar on his face left by the Joker, a scar that just happens to be in the same place. like the tattoo that the Joker has in Suicide Squad.

Legitimately, when you look at all the evidence presented, there is a fair amount to go off of. But then the killer train named David Ayer, director of Suicide Squad *UUUUUUUU!!* came into the station and ended the theory DEAD. When asked what was the most outlandish thing he had heard about the movie, he responded with this: "That the Joker is Jason Todd." (Interviewer) "Really!?" "That is not the case." Now, if you're NOT a Batman super fan, let me bring you up to speed: Jason Todd in the comics is one of three main characters to take on the mantle of Robin over the years and I say "ONE OF" because only Al Just as there have been several Jokers, there have also been several Robins.

You have the original Dick Grayson who eventually stops being Batman's sidekick and becomes the hero Nightwing. Jason Todd is the next Robin. At least until the Joker kidnaps him, he hits him with a crowbar and blows him up in a warehouse. *O-O-O-OVERKILL!!* And then there's Tim Drake, who tries to alleviate Batman's depression over the murder of Jason Todd by becoming the new Robin. It's also worth noting that all three, at one point or another in the comics, became the wild card. So the idea of ​​one of these characters becoming a tattooed Jugalo isn't as absurd as it might seem to become Mr.

J. It's like a pass script for the Boy Wonder, right up there with stopping crime in a green speedometer in the comic, the dark knight attacks again, Dick Grason is fired by bieng robin and becomes the

joker

, Jason Todd after being killed in a death in The

joker

's family is resurrected through the Lazarus pit because , Hey! If you have a well that will revive your dead well, you use that thing upon his return, he takes on the role of the villain RED HOOD, which turns out to be the Joker's original criminal identity. And then there's Tim Drake. who in the 2000 film Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker, was kidnapped and brainwashed by the OG Joker, who then implants a microchip in his neck that mutates his DNA to turn him into a clone of the Joker.

He is literally a werewolf, except for the hair, he has white clown makeup, and a killer laugh. *KILLER LAUGH* Get it... look, I'm not saying this all makes a lot of sense, it's just something that happens conically in this series, like every other month, to Robin's character, but I still know what you're thinking. ...WHY I KEEP TALKING! We've already brought David together to debunk this theory. So aside from my love of hiding under duvets in the middle of hotel rooms in New York City because I'm filming this on the road. Why am I wasting so much time recording this?

Well, let's listen to what he says again... "that the prankster is Jason Tod... it's not the case that he isn't." Note that David Air didn't say the prankster wasn't Robin, he said the prankster wasn't Jason Tod. But as we just saw, there are at least three different robins and when you really look at all the evidence gathered in the d.c.e.u, the much more likely scenario is that this version of the wild card is

actually

Tim Drake's robin number three. So get ready as soon as possible. bat pat? straps on the tool belt we don't have a moment to waist so quickly to the theoretical mobile would you like to know more?
