51. And what the whole Batman kerfluffle ignores

Thu Jul 19, 2012, 02:37 AM

Jul 2012

is that "bane" already means "a person or thing that causes misery or distress" regardless of whether it's a character name or not. So why would anyone in their right mind name a company "bane" no matter how you spell it?

It's like starting a company called "Gowt" or "Blite".

Edited to call dibs on "Blite Ltd." as the name of my future venture capital firm.
