Rumors Say Jared Leto's Joker Appears in 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice'

The latest rumor about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is a juicy one that, if true, could explain a lot of what we have heard about the film so far. The rumor involves Jared Leto's version of The Joker from the upcoming Suicide Squad.

Noted spoiler and scoop site Latino-Review reports that Leto will appear as the famous villain in a flashback scene in Dawn of Justice to recreate an iconic scene from the comics in which Joker beats Jason Todd, aka Robin, to death, likely with a crowbar. This would explain the reports that Ben Affleck's version of Batman had given up crimefighting until Superman's emergence, and it would also explain why the Joker is apparently in jail during Suicide Squad.

Leto will reportedly film scenes for both Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad while in Toronto. Furthermore, the site reports that Affleck will show up briefly in Suicide Squad, and notes the Batmobile has been spotted in the Canadian city. Finally, Robin's costume will apparently be on display in a glass case in the Batcave in Dawn of Justice.

In other news, fans already know that Jason Momoa portrays Aquaman in the highly-anticipated film. Some have not been happy with Momoa's casting or with the way the character's appearance has been altered. But at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo, the actor revealed his source of inspiration for the part and then delivered a message to the haters.

"I've been hanging out with Geoff Johns and he's a beast. He reinvented the character with the New 52," said Momoa. "Like it or not, I'm the new f***ing Aquaman, buddy."

The trailer for the movie has been released this week. The reviews have been mixed, but check it out below and judge for yourself:
