Best Batman Artist

So who would you consider to have drawn the best Batman yet? For me, it absolutely has to be Kelly Jones. I was introduced to him during the Knightfall era when he drew some of the covers, and eventually enjoyed his work during his monthly job on "Batman". His use of shadows was unbelievable (so much ink was used he probably single-handedly doubled its cost). Sure certain images were surreal and overexaggerated, but every panel contained the right amount of noir feeling that the world of Batman deserved. And most importantly he made Batman very intimidating. Alex Ross does a great Batman too, but then again Alex Ross can make anything look good. So what other artists do you guys like?

I always like Jim Lee and Tim Sale myself.

Jim Lee for the best.

Sale is great for being so creepy. Great stuff.

Jim Lee all the way!!!!

I actually don't like his stuff at all.

I would say Jim Lee. He draws a very sexy Batman/Bruce Wayne!

Bruce Timm?

Jim Lee # 1

also for X-Men

Brian Stelfreeze did a great job as a Batman cover artist with his run on Shadow of the Bat.

Neal Adams, Norm Breyfogle

I like Michael Turners Batman, in Superman and Batman; and In the Justice League Identity Crisis Covers

then again I like all of Michael Turners drawings....

Ech, I can't stand Michael Turner.

Silvestri is better!

wha?? look at this...batman looks good like this!!

and one more for god measure

Jim Lee

Jim Lee, Michael Turner, and I actually like Alan Davis'(I think that's his name) work in the mid 80s. He did pretty well.

Neal Adams, and I love Alex Ross, but his Batman is off. I demand eye lenses! Tom Grummet actually does awesome Batman too, especially when he guested in Titans.
