    I like the way Brett Booth draws Batman, more than anyone else. But from the list Jim Lee.

    I love all these guys except Miller, but if I had to choose two it would be Aparo and Tony S. Daniel. (Grant Morrison's run ftw!)

    Capullo has a great style that keeps it cartoony while at the same time gritty and adult.

    Scratchy. But in a good way.

    Jim Aparo is also great.

    I love Capullo. His Spawn essentially paved the way for probably best Batman work i have seen. Never want him off Batman. It'll be so hard for DC to get someone as good as him when he leaves, Fabok might be that guy.

    Excellent addition! :) slipped my mind! (Probably because Noel is one of the few Batman one-shot graphic novels I haven't read :/ )

    I voted for Adams, Aparo, Miller, Mazzucchelli, Jones, Daniel, and Capullo. They all bring something different to the table that I like or appreciate.

    If I had to pick one, I may go w/ Mazzucchelli (if I was in a World's Greatest Detective mood) or Capullo (if I was in a Caped Crusader mood).

    Timm, Capullo, and Daniel for me. They each draw Batman differently and equally amazingly.

    Lee's art is objectively good, but I don't think he gets the tone down right. His art better fits Superman and the JLA imo.

    This, basically. But I do think Jim Aparo deserves a spot on there as well. Jim Lee is a fantastic artist, but he's only a "very good" Bamtan artist imho. :P
