Instead of a Dark Knight, his arch-enemy was "Sword Of The Morning". A White Knight, if you will.

@wangtoriojackson4315 4 жыл бұрын

Honestly I think that Ser Arthur Dayne allowing the Smiling Knight to replace his broken sword was less out of honor and more out of cockiness, because he knew that it didn't matter if he got another sword or not. I could be wrong though.

@Aivottaja 3 жыл бұрын

I dunno. Dayne is such a revered character it seems uncharacteristic. Maybe it wasn't completely about honor, but competitiveness. Had he killed him after his weapon failed, it wouldn't have been an "honest" victory in chivalrous terms.

@keeganshigh 2 жыл бұрын

I disagree, The Smiling Knight was a badass, one of the only people alive who could have beaten The Sword of the morning in a fair fight.

@mike.n.n.7723 Жыл бұрын

@@Aivottaja Though most of what we hear about Arthur Dayne comes from Jaime who was a teenage fanboy, so we can't know how Arthur was really like. Plus he's stated to be Rhaegar's only friend and Rhaegar was a fucking weirdo, and Arthur contributed to the start of Robert's rebellion by helping Rhaegar run away with/kidnap and hide away Lyanna

Joker Has A Long, Long History. The Joker-Humans Are Actually Another Species Of Humans. The Joker Was Born In 1880, And Is Currently 42, And Was In His 20's From 1910 To 1995. The Joker Met Harley Quinn In 1947, And Got Married In 1955, But Batman Didn't Know The Joker Had A Wife Until The 90's, And Batman Was Born In 1910, And Is 35. The Joker Fought In All Wars 1889 To 2020, Including WW2. The Joker Was 19 In 1888, And Caused The Death Of Abraham Lincoln, And He Also Caused The JFK Death In 1963. Joker Knight #643 Was The Only Known Knight That Was A Joker-Human. And This Is Joker Knight #643.
