Knights in Pop Culture

Besides the obvious heroic mention of Superman in this song by Three Doors Down there are other lyrical mentions of Chivalry and Knight-like behaviors. There is a great tone of Chivalry in the lyrics of this song. He is saying that no matter what he is there for his lady, but would she still be there for him if he isn't always perfect. This incorporates modern day temptations and insecurities with the themes of chivalry.

The guy in the above picture is a modern day knight. He is showing his heroic nature in an unorthodox way. He stopped traffic to let the family of ducks cross the road without incurring any harm. This may not be a very direct interpretation of King Arthur or Knights, but he surely is demonstrating the characteristics of a knight.
