Just thought of something else... He's also called BATman. If he were called ButterflyMan or something a little lighter, I think his character would reflect that. But Bats are nocturnal creatures that are usually thought of as 'intimidating' or whatnot. Ya know and then there's all that Vampire lore and such. I think Bats just represent darkness in general. I think Batman's behavior is appropriate for his name. Did that makes sense?
