The Full Name Adventures

The comic is about adventures having a Batman.

"Why in the name of Harlan Williams are there so many Chronicles these days? You've got The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Chronicles of Riddick, Sonic The Hedgehog Chronicles, Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles; why aren't there any Dan Green Chronicles?"

— "Dan Green" in Dan Green vs The Spiderwick Chronicles,^note a review for the 2008 movie for The Spiderwick Chronicles from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series

Sometimes, nothing better describes a show than the full name of the main character with a noun before or after, maybe a preposition thrown in there.
