Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman, has been appearing within the pages of comic books for 75 years now. From his very first appearance to his latest story in the New 52, the Caped Crusader has had countless looks over the years. From relatively bright and exciting to dark and gritty, the Dark Knight has been expertly brought to life by dozens upon dozens of praiseworthy artists.

Seeing as Bruce is our latest Character of the Month and it's currently his 75th anniversary, we thought now would be the perfect time to pose a very difficult question: who's your favorite Batman artist? Obviously, there's been a huge amount of impressive artists over the years and we tried our best to include the top ones in the poll. However, if your personal favorite isn't on the list, you're welcome to vote "other" and elaborate in the comments.

Can't make up your mind just yet and want to take another look at the artists' work? Well, there's no need to rush because the poll will stay open until Thursday (ET). Just to make things easier for you, we've provided the names on the list below and you can click a name and it'll take you to the artist's page in our database. Now, give it some proper thought and then pick an artist!

Be sure to check the homepage on Thursday for the results and more! Do you have a great idea for a future edition of the Question of the Week? If so, feel free to share it below or via Twitter.

Want to keep celebrating our latest Character of the Month? Well, he's currently battling Star-Lord and we're asking you to choose between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises, too! Batman's Best Covers will likely be posted on Friday.

I take back my last answer. Mazzucchelli is the guy for me as far as Batman artists go.

Jim Lee is the man, however I have to give the slight edge to Capullo just because his Batman work has had such variety. Each arc that he's done looks totally different from the other (Court of Owls, Death of the Family, Zero Year).

Its hard to not like any of them, I like Jim Lee and Andy Kubert's Batman the best though with Adams as close second, still all of these guys did a great job with Batman. Also honorable mention to Dave McKean since he wasn't included.

I don't read enough Batman so I don't think I should vote. I always like Lee's Batman though. He always puts him a shadow. It could be in the middle of the desert at 1 in the afternoon and Batman will be in the dark.

This list is severely lacking in Alex Ross, Kelley Jones, Alan Davis, Michael Golden, George Perez, John Byrne, and Bill Sienkiewicz.

For me it's always a toss up between Frank Miller, Greg Capullo, and Jim Lee. Today I am going to put my vote in for Greg Capullo.

Eduardo Risso for me, when I think of great batman artists, I think detective noir and great paneling. A artist who tells a story through the art.

Sweet mercy, Mr. Katzman! We should be able to rank them and add out own selections!;) this is tough! Somewhat surprised Bruce Timm didn't make the list, or Darwyn Cooke, or Matt Wagner, or Eduardo Risso, or.... Never mind, there's too many!;)

Not remembering Dave McKean, but c'mon guys, no Marshall Rogers ?

There have been loads of great artists, but my faves would be Adams, Rogers (Google him), Aparo, Mazzuchelli and Golden.
