Warning: There are potential spoilers ahead for the future of the DC movie universe.
Fans may be extremely excited for next year's "Batman v Superman," but there's one Batman story fans would probably love to see on the big screen and it looks like we may just get it.
According to JoBlo.com, we could see the Joker and a version of Robin in the next solo Batman film.
For Batfans, that should sound off some immediate bells.
Last chance before spoilers.
Over the years, Batman has had numerous sidekicks fill in for the role of Robin.
In the iconic 1988 "Batman: A Death in the Family," the Joker is notoriously responsible for the death of the Dark Knight's second Robin, Jason Todd. It's a death which plagues the Caped Crusader for years afterward.
However, the story doesn't end there.
Year's later, Todd is resurrected and becomes the antihero Red Hood. This time around, Todd doesn't play by Batman's rules and isn't afraid to use gunfire to bring down criminals. Unsurprisingly, he also has a bit of a grudge against Bats and goes after the Dark Knight for never avenging his death.
According to the site, Warner Bros. is looking to adapt the "Death in the Family" series along with the "Red Hood" comics.
JoBlo suggests that Red Hood would be DC's version of Marvel's Winter Soldier a sidekick who has gone to the dark side and needs a shot at redemption.
If the story sounds familiar, it's been adapted before.
In 2010, Warner Bros. released a direct-to-video animated picture titled "Batman: Under the Red Hood" which delivered a gritty look at the "Death in the Family" storyline.
The recent "Batman: Arkham Knight" game dealt directly with Jason Todd/Red Hood as well.
JoBlo reports we may also see cameos from Red Hood in "Batman v Superman" or "Suicide Squad."
If you rewatch the latest "Batman v Superman" trailer, that certainly helps the following shots make more sense.
"Batman v Superman" will be in theaters March 25, 2016.
