The Dark Knight trilogy's final twist with John Blake as Robin misunderstands the legacy of Batman and what his symbol in Gotham represented.
Although the Dark Knight trilogy is one of the most popular and successful superhero movie series ever made, The Dark Knight Rises and its "Robin" twist misunderstands the point of Batman's legacy and symbolism. Played by Joesph Gordon-Levitt, GCPD Detective John Blake is revealed to be Robin at the very end of the movie directed by Christopher Nolan, inheriting Batman's legacy after the Dark Knight seemingly sacrifices himself to save Gotham from Bane and Talia al Ghul .
TDKR's John Blake Didn't Need To Be "Robin" It can be argued that Blake is a combination of Batman's first three Robins in the comics. Dick Grayson was similarly the first to inherit the cowl who was also a police officer for a time. Like Jason Todd, John Blake carries a shared anger with Bruce Wayne over the loss of his own parents.
