It may be five years too late, but I have an interesting footnote to add to the "Dark Knight" legend. In Batman #1, dated Spring 1940, in the first story, which is the very first appearance of the Joker, the Joker pushes Batman off a bridge. In the next panel: "The shock of cold water quickly revives the Dark Knight!" That's reprinted on page 18 of The Dark Knight Archives Volume 1. Detective Comics #40 was cover dated June 1940, so I don't know which story came first. I’ve been enjoying reading through the entries on this site.
