Skins are to change the display of the page and there content this can include sliders and more. Even sliders don't fit all skins, the need to be different sized have other navigation elements because otherwise they just don't look good

I don't know if the dark knight skin has it but for skins there are skin widgets , take a look here :

skin widgets are like tiny front end modules for skins 9 there are no admin modules the only display or modify the html code so the can be used in any module that supports html and you don't need to add yet another module with yet another admin that you may never use again.

This will work with any skin you just might need to change some css to make it work with yours.

Skins get more powerful because more is demanded so we deliver. And the problem with module its one size should fit all or most. But we don't want that !!

Skins are to make a portal look unique Not just in front-end design but also how it looks interacts and behaves.

For Instance
If you have a very nice slider that looks great in your smooth rounded out skins exactly in your color combination with your image and ui elements in wil look very out of place in a very standard skin with all straight elements.

just my 2 cents
