6 Of The Most Awesome Geek Moments From Comic Book Movies

Robin Teaser – The Dark Knight Rises

I was, overall, very disappointed with the final film in Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Though the first two entries had some issues, they were fun and entertaining. They also did justice to the characters. But the third film just had too many damn plotholes to overlook. Still, there was a very cool Easter egg in there for those of us paying close attention.

When they showed the scene of the arena in Gotham collapsing, there’s a point where they scan the crowd. If you are not a fan or not familiar with the comics, it might not have even stood out to you, but the R sign that the man is holding in the crowd (see photo above) is the same font used for the R in the Robin comics. Which meant that they were alluding to a Robin character with the inclusion of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Of course, as soon as we get Joseph Gordon-Levitt in what could be one of his most exciting roles yet, they ret-con him and give us Ben Affleck. Fuck you, DC. That is how I am ending this entry.
