Thanks

First, let me ask you about simpler examples. Tom bought a/the chair. Do you know the difference?

Yes, I know what the difference is, and sorry I didn't elaborate on my question. Well the problem is, that the movie is called 'THE Dark Knight Rises" and I presume no one would really say '' That was a The Dark Knight Rises reference right there..." , hence I'm asking how the sentence should be phrased.

We wouldn't naturally say'' That was a The Dark Knight R
