Holy gender juxtaposition, Batman!

Holy gender juxtaposition, Batman!

Rumours, reports and speculation is being speculated that the character of Robin in Zack Snyder’s ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ will be played by Jena Malone – a real life human female!

Gadzooks! Kabloomy! Forp!

An extra told NBC news affiliate WILX-10 that Malone is filming scenes with both Ben Affleck, who plays Batman, and Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Lex Luthor, this week.

Malone had already sparked rumours by dying her hair red. Like a Robin’s breast.

The news is less surprising when you consider that Snyder’s film is based loosely on Frank Miller’s comic The Dark Knight Returns, in which the Caped Crusader’s sidekick is a woman called Carrie Kelley.

Incidentally, the extra who spilled the news to WILX-10 could be sued for up to £5m for breaking a non-disclosure agreement.

Holy indiscreet gobshite, Batman!
