"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" already wrapped up production last December but only very little has been provided regarding the movie. If it were not for Jesse Eisenberg's photo as Lex Luthor and the recently leaked trailer, fans of this DC franchise will have minimal knowledge on what to expect when the blockbuster finally hits theaters.
However, a new batch of set photos have been recently posted on Imgur by a user named jbingles, and it seemed to have given away a major plot point. It was a series of photos of the Wayne Manor mausoleum which were all taken in very artistically tasteful manner. Despite the beauty of the photos, what caught the attention of the fans was one of the gravestones with the name Richard John Grayson.
Richard John Grayson is actually the first Robin, who was also known as Nightwing. He is believed to have lived from January 1972 to August 2000. This new batch of pictures seemed to have been pretty similar with the first batch of photos taken of the Wayne family mausoleum.
According to the rumor mill, in the time frame of "Batman v. Superman," Batman, played by Ben Affleck, will have already been performing his heroic skills for nearly two decades, as stated in Screen Rant. This could only mean that at least one Robin already died. However, the rumors indicate that it was Jason Todd who died and not Dick Grayson, who moved on as his own superhero character - the Nightwing.
Rumor has it that Adam Driver from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was eyed to play the role of Dick Grayson. However, he already refuted all claims and denied that he was involved with the upcoming DC blockbuster.
The appearance of Grayson's name in the mausoleum seems to have made earlier reports about the Joker, played by Jared Leto, and Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, already being estranged after Todd's demise questionable.
Since the trailer was released to the public, fans have been quite busy deciphering hidden messages, termed as Easter eggs, in the video. They managed to see Riddler's logo graffitied on a pillar and the suit of a dead Robin, according to Batman-News. According to the cinematographer of the film, Larry Fong, there is one more mystery that is yet to be found.
"I do not think anyone has found the best Easter egg yet," Fong wrote on Twitter. "Nope. Not graffiti. Not a suit."
Apparently, it was the 003 marked on the rocket that Superman, played by Henry Cavill, was raising. Zack Snyder is known to be the director of "300," which became his first blockbuster hit. It catapulted him into more film making opportunities such as "Watchmen" and "Man of Steel."
