I'm not sure if everybody has heard about this theory, but if you don't know about it, it's basically a theory that Jason Todd is the Joker in the new Suicide Squad film.

Now, I don't know about you, but this annoys the hell out of me. Jason is my favourite DC character & people think it's a brilliant idea to destroy everything that makes him interesting. Not to mention, this also makes the Joker much less interesting too. The dynamic between Batman & the Joker is completely lost in doing this. Jason's death is also a very important part of Bruce's character progression.

The only people I would ever see liking this idea are those people who have never read a comic & have played Arkham Knight. If you read comments about this theory, they talk about Arkham Knight's version of Jason as if that's his definitive origin story. The whole 'J' around the eye thing is not evidence at all, but that's the basis for the entire theory.

Obviously this isn't going to be the case because there is so much evidence to debunk the theory & it just makes no logical sense. Even so, I felt that too much credit is being given to this idea to ignore.

I'm sure I mustn't be the only one who feels this way, this being a comic dedicated wiki & all, so I would love to hear you guys' thoughts on this if it interests you.
