    Who do you think is the deaceased partner of Ben Affleck's Batman whose suit was shown briefly in Batman V Superman?

    I would like to personally think of him as Jason Todd because of the similarities of the movie with Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and the 1987 Storyline Death in the family

    However it can someone else,Your thoughts and theories?

    Tim Drake. There is the theory that Joker is Robin due to the bullet holes in the costume and scars on him matching up.
    So maybe it's Tim Drake and he's still in Joker mode.

    I haven't seen it but did they show the Joker with his shirt off?

    If so you would be able to see the bullet scars wouldn't you?

    The first picture they ever showed was him with his shirt off, and you can kinda make out faint scars. Though looking at them now they kinda look like part of the tattoo.

    I'm thinking and hoping that it'll turn out to have been Jason. He doesn't need to become the Red Hood, but if there's going to be a dead Robin i this Batman's past, it should be Jason.

    As for the Robin becoming Joker theory, I still don't think there's anything pinting to that. The supposed bullet wounds look like parts of his tattoos.

    Yeah, if you're gonna do the dead Robin display -- it needs to be for Jason.

    If those are bullet-wounds on the Joker, maybe he killed Robin, then stripped him of his suit, and was wearing it around Gotham to taunt Batman.

    I really don't like the idea of a Robin becoming the a Joker (except for BB:RotJ).

    I could see the Joker adding the tattoo to himself where he shot Robin.

    The Joker's tattoos are all black ink whereas the scars are clearly pink.

    Personally, I'm all for the idea that the Joker is a pissed-off, crazy ex-Robin who was "killed" by the REAL Joker. Harley Quinn shows how well he can mindfuck and transform his victims in his own likeness, after all. It actually explains why the DCEU Batman wouldn't have just killed him instead of letting him be sent to Arkham, too.

    That's why I'm leaning towards Joker being Tim Drake, since that was the Robin that got turned into Joker Jr. in Batman Beyond. Joker in this also looks half Batman's age at least.

    90% sure it's Jason Todd. I find it unlikely that he's the Joker considering Jared Leto's age and Leto even said that he thinks the Joker is older than people think.

    Even in that Tim never actualy became the Joker. He was just being used by the Joker's weird microchip thing. Tim was essentially a vehicle for the Joker programming.

    I really hope it's not Tim Drake. He's my fave.

    I doubt it's Damian, since he's the Robin DC's trying to sell to us.

    Dick's got a pretty big following.

    Jason feels likely...or maybe it's a new character altogether?

    Looks like bullet wounds, not a part of the tattoo. Take my advice on that, lol. Looks like it was either a clean "pass through" or if the joker was wearing robin's armor, the armor had a basic level of ballistic protection and it's the armor "catch mark" - Round and armor still hit the skin with a massive amount of kinetic force with no/minimal tear through. Looks like no bigger than a 9mm round - standard police carry.

    Probably Jason. Making him the Joker is fine with me, as this Batman wouldn't have much room to complain about Red Hood's tactics.
