This is a  stupid question I always wanted to know...
Is "The Dark Knight's" Title a pun how Batman is like a Knight (as in a Knight in shining armor) that wheres dark clothing, or is it a pun on how he fights crime at night whereas it is dark? Or is it a combination of both? (I know stupid question) (LOL Pics I LMAFA at)

EDIT: That free MP3 was not me spamming, It was another Darknight picture that turned into that ad somehow)
Sorry I pissed some of u off, didnt know a little misunderstanding could start a riot lol hahaha.

He's also somewhat of a vigilante with a dark personality.  He's even been downright paranoid at times. Just ask the Justice League.

what the fuck is up with those free mp3 adds. fucking spamming dude?

anyways, no, only someone seriously dumb would think Knight has something to do with the night, and Dark has something to do with his clothing. 

Have you seen the movie? The whole ending explains it. 

so you half right in your first theory. yes he is like a knight in shining armor, but not dark because of his clothing, but because he must remain unknown and be the hero the people need, but may not necessarily want.

Dude, as much as I like you, I hope you get banned for those ads.

I'm sorry, but my tolerance for these things is zero.

Why don't you just edit your first post and get rid of that ad then?

In the film it is given a new meaning, throughout the film Harvey Dent is called the 'White Knight' who is a hero of gotham, however the true saviour is batman who places himself in danger to protect gotham he is not a saviour in shining armour but the Dark Knight.

Hahaha.

Anyway, after you see the movie, you'll get why it's called "The Dark Knight"

Um, I know you didn't mean to spam and even said it in your edit; but why leave the spam picture up there still, even after we told you the picture is a spam. You'd think you would correct the picture to a non spam one or just take it down. btw if you did try to change it, it didn't work.

...because "The Dark Knight" is one of the names people came up with to call Batman, same as "Caped Crusader". I thought everyone knew that.

Also, don't just edit in an apology for the spamming. Delete the spam picture. Now!

Back in the 80s Batman's other name translated in Norwegian was "Lynvingen" which translates to "Lightning Wing".
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
