im pretty sure a name cant be copyrighted

Really? I feel like that comes up all the time for like comic book characters and such.

I think the distinction is between the name of the work itself (like there are actual comic books called Batman or whatever), versus the name of a character in the book. I ain't a lawyer though so I'm not sure

I guess that's probably a major factor in why so many comic book series are mainly or just the name of the protagonist.

Yeah there’s a reason only DC has a superhero with the obvious name “Super-Man”
