Although it is not yet officially confirmed whether Eli Snyder could be Robin in "Batman V Superman," the photo might speak for itself since Eli has appeared in a number of movies that his father directed, such as "300" and "Watchmen," which also happens to be a DC owned comic book series.

Robin's costume in "Batman V Superman" has been featured on its official trailer hinting that Jared Leto's Joker killed him before the events of the film and it will be shown in flashback scenes from the movie, International Business Times reported.

Screenrant further adds that both "Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide Squad" films will have an interconnected events between them, explaining why Batman quit being a vigilante and Joker's broken teeth. Several fans speculated that this version of Robin could be Jason Todd since he is only one who has been brutally tortured and killed by the Joker within the comics in "The Death in the Family" storyline.

In other news, there are rumors making rounds about Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, having several character tweaks and limited screen time.

According to The Latinos Post, Wonder Woman's scenes in "Batman V Superman" will not include major fight scenes aside from those that were seen in the film's trailer, as the website stated that the "Fast & Furios" star is still training to achieve a better physique to fit the mold of the ideal Diana Prince in future movies within the DC Cinematic Universe.

There is also a previous report from the Guardian hinting that Wonder Woman will not have that pacifist nature of character in the film as oppose in the comics. DC comic book writer Grant Morrison critized Snyder's take on Wonder Woman in "Dawn of Justice," saying that it is a snarling, pugilistic and has failed to honor its original creator American psychologist William Moulton Marston.

Morrison beleived that Wonder Woman should represent peace not just in superhero community within the DC universe, but in society as well.

It was previously reported that Doomsday and The Flash ( Ezra Miller) are rumored to appear in the movie as well as Henry Cavill being opened about having a "Man of Steel" sequel in the future.

"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be shown in cinemas on March 25, 2016.
