• Dark Knight → Dark knight — DAB page should use uncapitalized form —132.205.44.134 22:25, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I know of no guideline stating this, especially when all the items being disambiguated are proper nouns, and thus capitalised. --Stemonitis 06:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. If this page is in fact disambiguating things named "Dark Knight," then it should be there. SnowFire 04:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Agreed re:capitalization, and further support retention of the 'The'. Batman isn't called 'Dark Knight' but specifically The Dark Knight. Editors continue to alter the pages, and one current half-witted solution would have TDK go to Batman, hatnote back to Dark knight, which would redirect to TDK. Genius. These were fine until about a week ago, when a new editor mucked it all up. Undo his mistakes, leave the whole mess alone. ThuranX 03:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I think your understanding of what people have suggested is mistaken. Why would somebody propose a redirect at Dark Knight back to Batman when they're talking about having a disambig there with a hatnote at Batman which The Dark Knight would be redirecting to instead of here? It seems to me you may be a bit confused. In any case, there's no reason to call a solution half-witted, especially since it's actually fairly reasonable for a disambiguation page to exist for a title that has multiple usages. It's done on Gautama Buddha after all. There's two redirects named there, both of which lead back to the original article, which seems to me to be the sound practice. And Batman already links to a disambiguation page. FrozenPurpleCube 04:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

BTW, has anybody else noticed The Batman exists as a disambiguation page of its own? Should it be redirected? At the least, somebody should probably clean up the links. FrozenPurpleCube
