I'm not the first one to say this, but I think the way the lore introduces it, Dark Knight is closest to the Spanish Inquisition than it is to Batman. Batman is a vigilante, a private, and unknown individual who acts with the acceptance, but not necessarily the title, of the actual authorities (and as such, is not tutelated by the institutions, and in some countries would even be seen as a criminal himself, here in Italy for example vigilantes are forbidden). Dark Knight the way it is explained instead seems to be an actual body of the forces of Ishgard, instituted by the Holy See and expected to do their job whatever their personal feelings may be, and who do not respond for their actions in person, but rather act in the name of the Archbishop.
So in short, yes, I plan my DRK (an entirely new characteR) to respect the lore we were given, but no, I'm not signing up to be Batman, because that is not what Dark Knight is.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
