This theory is kind of out there, but at the same time, it makes sense.
On Reddit, there's a Redditor that goes by the name Jason-G169 and he suggests that the Joker is really Jason Todd. Jason Todd was the Batman's second Robin, and he was killed at the hands of the Joker. He later is resurrected and becomes the Red Hood, and let's just say he's not too happy at Batman for not saving him and letting him die.
Jason-G169 writes, "Bruce was Jason's surrogate father & Jason is probably a little salty about not being saved from the original Joker."
He continues, "Now the Robin suit [as seen in the trailer for Batman v Superman], this one is kind of the first pillar of my theory, we see "The joke's on you Batman'. What joke is on Batman? Could it mean Jason wrote that on his suit after he became a deranged psycho? What I think it means, after all Jason & Bruce have gone through together, him teaching Jason to not be so angry & teaching him how to be a better person, in the end it didn't matter it was all one huge joke because Jason's fate was to become the Joker, his fate was to become the arch nemesis of his father."
There's some credence to this theory. Like I mentioned earlier, Jason Todd became the Red Hood. The Red Hood was the Joker's original guise. This also wouldn't be the first time that a former Robin has become the Joker. In Frank Miller's DK2 series, "Joker" in this run is actually Dick Grayson, who was the original Robin. What if they took elements of both stories and combined them together for the Suicide Squad movie?
I know that this theory is a bit of a stretch, but it also makes perfect sense. If this is the case, though, what happened to the original Joker? Does this mean that we may be seeing the Red Hood appear in future movies? What are your thoughts on this idea? Let me know by putting them in the comments section down below!
