Legends of the Dark Knight
Wed, June 6, 2012 
Legends of the Dark Knight sounds awfully familiar to me. I'm not 100% sure, but I think there was a line of Batman action figures when I was younger that carried that title. That name will be gracing a new digital comic series from DC Comics featuring exactly who you'd expect, The Batman. It could end up being a really fun book as it will operate outside of the regular continuity of DC's New 52. Check out the official information from The Source, with some really good talent involved.
Today, we’re excited to reveal that the first chapter from LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT will be released tomorrow, followed by new chapters out every Thursday. Taking place outside of DC COMICS – THE NEW 52 continuity, the new series features several stand-alone stories by various creators that chronicle different cases handled by The Dark Knight.
Kicking off the first chapter is the all-star line-up of LOST scribe Damon Lindelof with artwork by the critically acclaimed Jeff Lemire. The line-up for the first six chapters of LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT is as follows:
June 7 – “The Butler Did It” written by Damon Lindelof with artwork by Jeff Lemire
June 14 – “All of the Above” written by Jonathan Larsen with artwork by JG Jones
June 21– “The Crime Never Committed” written by Tom Taylor with artwork by Nicola Scott and Wayne Faucher
June 28 – “Crisis of Identity” Part 1 written by B. Clay Moore with artwork by Ben Templesmith
July 5 – “Crisis of Identity” Part 2 written by B. Clay Moore with artwork by Ben Templesmith
July 12 – “Crisis of Identity” Part 3 written by B. Clay Moore with artwork by Ben Templesmith
Mark your calendars – Thursdays are officially all about The Dark Knight and you can get your weekly fill here for $.99 each.

The toy line you're thinking of is "Legends of Batman." However, there was a comic titled, "Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight" that I remember at least running in the early to mid nineties, if not earlier.
