For those of you who aren’t familiar with the character, the Silent Knight was a character at DC Comics back in the late 1950's. He was a hero in medieval who would dress up in armor and never speak, in order to not give away his secret identity. (Apparently much later he was decided to be one of Hawkman’s reincarnations, but we don’t talk about that in polite society.) Most of his adventures involved his battling against the evil Sir Edwin, who was determined to capture his bane the Silent Knight. In this story, Sir Edwin has sworn openly sworn that he would have the Silent Knight as his captive before the end of the day. And so.....
Um....Maybe it’s just a simplistic idea, but wouldn’t it be easier to just not dress up as the Silent Knight for a day? If there was a reason for him to be active it would be one thing, but the only thing going on right then was someone who was swearing that they would have him in custody that day. He was only dressed up because he was following his girlfriend and wanted to ‘chat’ with her in red. Why not get back in your jerkin and have a day off? Make the villain look like a schmuck without risking your chainmail? Or is that TOO easy?
