Anyway okay maybe adding 'The' infront of movies didn't start with 'The Dark Knight' But I have noticed in Australia atleast alot more people are adding 'The' infront of movie titles. And to the poster that said I called 'Watchmen' 'The Watchmen' and 'Knowing' 'The Knowing' I was actually saying the opposite.

The people of New York City called them The Watchmen and they ended up adopting the name by default. I've read the Comic at least 6 or 7 times, since I bought it in 1999. Where they start doesn't supersede where they end. The Minutemen, Crimebusters, The Watchmen.
Get over yourself, Graphic Novel Boy.
PS: if you're going to nit pick about a comic, don't call it a Graphic Novel. If the details are so important to you, clearly you enjoy the book. It isn't a graphic novel. It was a series of comic books collected into a single volume. That's known as a collected edition. Graphic Novels are written and drawn to be released in that format.
If you are afraid to say the word "comic book" so much that you have to call it by a more scholarly sounding name, if comic books are so intellectually stigmatized to you that you can't call them by their proper name, you shouldn't read them.
People who call comic books graphic novels make me sick. What a bunch of snobs.
