    Detective Comics for me.

    I am not a fan of Snyder's Zero Year.

    Batman stomps. I've actually never read many detective comics..outside the ones that tied into a major story arc IE Knightfall. Unless we're talking new 52 then I have yet to touch detective comics period.

    Batman is still the best series, eternal is second.

    Detective comics has amazing art but the story has been dragging and not going anywhere after a hot start.

    Batman and Robin is awesome though and I love where they are going with the story. Really excited for the Robin rises event and seeing Darkseid and batman together, and batman take on all the other heroes.

    TDK was eh. Good at some points.

    Batman/superman is inconsistent and jae lee's art has gotten old. I want my characters actually drawn with detail, not like ghosts.

    Stopped reading batman 66 after the first one. It was good but i didn't feel the need to keep going.

    Looks like Snyder's Batman is running away with this one.

    Easily Batman, but Eternal is a close second so I'll vote for that.

    The latest Detective comics run has blown me away, Batman has been strong but slowed down a bit, but it's picking things back up and running. BE i'm not sure, the story just keeps me on the edge of my seat but it's getting frustrating simply because its still in the building up phases, which is understandable considering that there's a lot of stuff it needs to establish, but a fan can't help but get impatient. B&R has been consistently solid, but it has been unable to top its first Story Arc which was called Born to Kill. I dropped B/S after the first story arc and i never read '66 cuz its not my cup o tea.
