    My favorite Batman book is Arkham Asylum, so Morrison, even though he wrote some over the top stories with Batman in it. But Dini is up there, because he can take the Batman universe and make it easily digestible while keeping it true to what it is. Frank Miller get's a nod, for Dark Knight Returns alone.

    My order would probably be

    Greg Rucka > Jeph Loeb > Grant Morrison > Paul Dini > Scott Snyder > Ed Brubaker > Chuck Dixon > Denny O'Neil > Alan Moore > Frank Miller
