10 Ridiculous Movie Moments That Made Everyone Irrationally Angry
10. You Should Use Your Full Name - The Dark Knight Rises
Chris Nolan had the impossible task of following up one of the greatest films of all time; it was pretty much set up to fail from the beginning. Many speculated that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be playing the role of Robin, though his name was John Blake (Robin’s name is most popularly Dick Grayson).
He was not the caped-crusader’s side kick, just an honest cop who wanted to do good. In more of a nod-and-wink rather than a crucial plot detail, Nolan added a line where a woman attending Blake comments, “You should use your full name. I like that name, Robin.”
Nolan fans, comic-book nerds, and everyone in between were livid with the half-handed reference. It was never supposed to mean that he has become the infamous character of Robin, that he was Robin the whole time, or anything other than a fun easter-egg. It didn’t fit in the film whatsoever but was nothing more than an amusing tribute.
