Would have been cool if Dunn's line was...
"They called him Mr. Glass."
More similar to Unbreakable's last line spoken by Elijah (Mr. Glass):
"They called me Mr. Glass."
"They called him Mr. Glass."

haha i thought the same thing. how did that not make the script!
sharewait..... what was his line then? Cause this is what I remember???
shareHe just said "Mr. Glass". OP's line would have been better, for sure.
shareSurely.
Well much about this tie-in seemed a bit rushed. I mean how does Mr Glass and the story line of Split even compare? I imagine reading those stories in the news paper years apart or even days apart, and I would not connect them like those girls in the diner did.... he could have thought up a better connection between the two stories...
Perhaps; someone reading the newspaper in the diner and the headline says somethings in the lines of "kidnapper at large"... and then we see Dunn grabs it and walks out determinedly.... da da daaaaa.
How are they connected? Did you see Unbreakable? However less conspicuous, it was about a guy with supernatural super strength, who goes around saving good people from bad people, a superhero if I may. And it obviously happened in the around the same area or city.
share?? where is this obvious connection between those two newspaper stories?
A: Split is about a guy of split personalities who kidnap girls and put them in the zoo...
B: Unbreakable is about a super guy who saves people, and about another guy who was a terrorist. BUT we must assume only Mr Glass was ever known in the public, so that newspaper story must have been about some crippled terrorist.
I see no connection from the point of view of the random newspaper reader....
Remember, that Split apparently has superpowers, and that Dunn also has superpowers is unknown to the public and so also to the news papers...
In short; the girls read about some guy who kidnaps girls and then immediately this makes them think about an older story about a terrorist, who liked comic books. I cannot see how this is so obviously connected.... see what I mean?

Talk about a missed opportunity.
I wouldn't rule out M. Night thinking that that throwback line would've sounded too corny, but he should have used it. I do see the effectiveness of Dunn only saying his name though. Plus, his appearance is cool enough.
I honestly yelled that out in a Sidney Poitier voice at the end of the movie.
