Jena Malone Cast As Robin In Batman v Superman Movie?

Jena Malone is reported by several sources to have been cast in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice - and it has been claimed that she will play a female incarnation of Batman's famous sidekick Robin.

The 29-year-old actress - best-known for her role as Johanna Mason in The Hunger Games franchise - has apparently been confirmed by numerous sources to be featuring in the sequel to Man Of Steel.

And a reporter on NBC affiliate station WILX-10 claims to have seen a script which features a female Robin character.

So many fans and pundits have put two and two together and concluded that Malone will be portraying the female version of Dick Grayson.

Warner Brothers last week revealed a raft of 10 movies based on DC Comics properties.
