Someone had taken a photo of the subway that would become a classic.
Batman had his hands raised as he blocked the door.
The explosion in front of him caused bright light to flare out on the sides of the cape, but it was still dark behind the tall figure.
A certain online bigshot even added an extremely pretentious caption to this picture: Bearing the dark as he moves forward. Only the heart of my knight shines.
In fact, Batman was already known as the Dark Knight.
After this picture and caption appeared, the title "Radiant Knight" also appeared, and fans of the two monikers got into a heated argument.
But even the toughest Dark Knight supporters didn't dare say that Batman didn't have light in his heart.
Anybody who wasn't blind could see that the Batman suit was black.
It was the "knight" moniker that stuck.
Whether this knight ultimately belonged to the dark or the light, or even both combined, it didn't matter.
