Director Zack Snyder reveal two classic Batman villains almost made the big screen showdown.
“The Joker and The Riddler came close to being in this movie. We talked about the possibility of putting them in. (Screenwriter) Chris Terrio and I talked about it a lot and felt that their mythological presence is felt in the movie and it’s cool, but I didn’t want to get my eye too far off teh ball because I need to spend time, frankly, with Batman and Superman to understand the conflict.” Snyder told Collider.
After the final trailer, one of the biggest questions is did the Joker kill a “Robin” when we see a statue of the sidekick covered with a message spray painted by what might be the Clown Prince of Crime.
