    When Scott Snyder's Batman run ends, and DC makes a new flagship Batman title, which artist would you want on the book? I personally would want Alex Maleev doing art for a Batman flagship. His gritty style he has used for Daredevil perfectly suits Batman IMO.

    I NEVER WANT SCOTT SNYDER'S RUN TO END. EVEN WHEN HE DIES. HE MUST WRITE BATMAN IN THE AFTERLIFE AND SEND IT TO US.

    @toplel: Agreed, Capullo and Albuquerque's style works well with Snyder's story telling.

    Yeah Maleev's style is perfect for Batman but it needs a different writer to match his style IMO.

    Tony Daniel. His art is very gritty and dark, perfect for Batman. Now that I think about it he's probably my favorite artist.

    Capullo is a dream come true. He was excellent during his tenure on spawn. Ivan Reis draws really pretty. Doug mahnke was a really good bat artist during under the red hood series.

    Jim lee draws well. His characters tend to pose to much, his panels aren't dynamic enough. He draws his people too stiff, with way too much cross hatching. But he is still one of the all time greats.

    I wanna see frank cho or Humberto Ramos on batman. His work improved greatly while drawing spidey.

    Nguyen, or Maleev would be cool. I think there are a lot of artists that could pull off a good Batman run.

    Eduardo Risso and Brian Azzarello would be awesome on a regular Batman book, Broken City was cool but I think they'd be better with a longer run.

    Please no Jim Lee.

    For a change of pace, I'd really like to see Sean Gordon Murphy on Batman. He's done some great commissions, sketches, and such of him.

    @sog7dc: Jim Lee's best work in DCU is his work in Hush, check it out, it feels like a Hollywood Action movie. And agreed that art work will be fine for Batman. Just posting this for the lazy ones.
