Filming for "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" in Chicago has reportedly already wrapped up. However, it didn't end without set photos being leaked. One of the set photos from the Windy City allegedly proves the death of Bruce Wayne's parents will be revisited in the sequel. Meanwhile, another set photo from the Lake Orion, Michigan production reveals a memorial for the Wayne's. However, a report suggests Robin's death should also be featured in the movie.

Cinemablend claims "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" should also look into Jason Todd's death for a funeral flashback. In the original DC comics, Todd became second Robin after Dick Grayson became Nightwing. The caped crusader reportedly felt such remorse over not being able to stop Robin's death from the hands of The Joker. Batman may have taken new partners after Jason, but the "guilt weighed heavily on him." "Showing how devastating Jason's death was to Bruce would give the audience an idea of how this Batman is motivated by his past mistakes, which may have also led him to pushing away his allies so that they wouldn't get hurt," writer Adam Holmes said.

It's still uncertain if "BVS" will feature a female robin. The International Business Times once noted Jena Malone's Instagram selfie, where she's seen with bright red hair. The cryptic photo allegedly hinted the actress would be playing as Batman's sidekick. However, the inspiration for the "Man of Steel" sequel supposedly relies heavily on the concept from "The Dark Knight Returns" that it's possible Jason Todd's Robin will be featured.

Additionally, it's interesting to note that "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" will feature an older caped crusader. Considering that "BVS" is the "closest to the comics to date," says capedcrusaders.com, then it's fitting to address Batman's former partners in crime-fighting, specifically Jason Todd's Robin and his death.

"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" opens up the DC universe so it's believed Robin's death will also give way to future events. Per Holmes, it can lead to a Robin standalone film and even be "one of the driving forces that motivate Batman's actions in the DCCU."
