15 Crazy Facts You Just Have To Accept To Enjoy The Dark Knight Trilogy

5. Bruce Saved Joffrey Baratheon's Life (Batman Begins)

Alright, so this one's just a joke, but still, did you realise that Joffrey Baratheon himself, Jack Gleeson, appears in Batman Begins? When all hell is breaking loose in the Narrows, there's a brief scene with a young child, who Batman ends up saving just before a group of hallucinating manics turns him and Rachel into Swiss cheese. It's a brief part, though stuck in the minds of many at the time, who thought that Gleeson may have been playing a young Robin, who might appear in future movies. Considering the total needlessness of the role, it was a solid theory, but Gleeson instead went on to play Joffrey in Game of Thrones, which to an extent has completely ruined this scene in Batman Begins. Rewatching the movie in a post-Joffrey context, it's just impossible to take seriously, because Gleeson has done such a bang-up job playing the series' most detestable character, and there's the not-so-secret thought that Bats should've just let him die.
