    Batman is iconic and legendary for a reason, he is a chameleon and be altered to fit into the context of the time and the world we live in. He can be war-ready hero in the 1940s to the pop art fantastic in the 1960s and early 1970s and finally the anti-hero of the 1980s to today. So do you have any favourite reinventions of Batman?! My personal favourites have been the BTAS Batman, Jeph Loeb's Long Halloween/Dark Victory Batman and Nolan's Batman. But I do also have a soft spot the straightman in Batman: The Brave and The Bold!

    I said something similar a while ago, I think Batman's power is to adapt, he changes with time, he probably had the most different interpretations over the years. Personally I like Morrison's version of Batman the most, followed by Timm's and O'Neil's version.
