A rumor suggests that director Zack Snyder's son, Eli Snyder, will play Robin in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The rumor is reported by Heroic Hollywood, and the site admits that it could not confirm the rumor, thanks to the intense secrecy surrounding the film. We did see the dead Robin's suit in the trailer for Batman v. Superman, which also revealed at least one flashback scene (to Thomas and Martha Wayne's death in Crime Alley).
A flashback involving Batman and the Joker could have been filmed while both Ben Affleck and Jared Leto were on set for Suicide Squad.There's also no suggestion of which Robin Eli Snyder would play, tough the first assumption would have to be Jason Todd. Snyder has enlisted his son for films before. Eli Snyder appeared in Watchmen as young Rorschach and in 300 as young Leonidas. Eli Snyder is a quarterback who will head to UCLA next school year to study film.
"Eli Snyder is quite the athlete. He is 6'0" and weighs 174 pounds. As the starting quarterback, Eli put up good stats at Maranatha High Varsity Football. Watching Eli's senior highlight reel, he certainly has the youth, athleticism, and physicality to be Robin in real life!," says Heroic Hollywood. Eli's father, Zachary Edward "Zack" Snyder (born March 1, 1966) is an American film director, film producer, and screenwriter, best known for action and science fiction films.
In October 2012, Warner Bros. announced a planned 2015 release for their Justice League film. It remains unknown at this point whether or not Henry Cavill is expected to reprise his role. During an interview with the New York Post in November 2012, director Zack Snyder stated, "I don't know how 'Justice League' is going to be handled. Honestly, I don't. But 'The Man of Steel' exists, and Superman is in it. I don't know how you'd move forward without acknowledging that," and claimed that Warner Bros. expects him to "keep them on course" as regards to a potential cinematic universe. It was rumored in early March 2013 that Snyder would direct the Justice League film and that Christopher Nolan would again be producing.
