October 18, 2014: Is Jena Malone Playing a Female Robin in "Batman v Superman"?

Jena Malone Jena Malone, one of the stars of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", who also worked with Zack Snyder on "Sucker Punch", was spotted on set with the director for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" back in August, which set off speculation about her being in the film... but those rumors were shot down by Jena herself who claimed she was just catching up with Zack.

But, as we know from Jason Mamoa, stars denying they've been cast in a role is nothing new, and it seems that Jena may indeed be playing a female Robin to Ben Affleck's Batman in "Batman v Superman" according to The Hollywood Reporter...

    While describing a scene that would be filming - a fight between Batman and Lex Luthor at a swank party - a reporter for the station dropped the news that the script featured a female Robin character - and that Malone could be playing her.

    The report then cut to a person claiming to be an extra - and the source of the information - who said that a multimillion-dollar lawsuit could be filed against anyone violating the movie's nondisclosure agreements. In a bid to protect the source, only the person's hands were shown and his/her voice was altered, giving the affair a Dr. Evil-meets-a-Munchkin vibe.

This is yet another indication that "Batman v Superman" is heavily inspired by Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns".
