Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

Yeah, I was thinking about including him. I know it's a personal bias, I just never cared for his Batman. But, yes, I agree.

Why is Todd McFarlane in that list? He drew like 6 batman stories, and it's nowhere near his best work.
And I may not be in love with him, but Greg Capullo has to be here
Although this might be bias on my part, Bernie Wrightson should be near the top of the lost in terms of quality.
Batman The Cult is by far my favorite Batman story in artstyle.

My thinking was because this is probably one of the most referenced Batman covers of all time, imho: Originally Posted by Alpha

I like Capullo, but I'm mostly thinking what's stood the test of time so far. I think we need to give him a little bit before we throw him in there, but that's just my thinking. Originally Posted by Alpha

Then Jim lee should definitely be on this list. (Even though I personally have no passion for him) Originally Posted by phonogram12

Likewise. Which is probably why I didn't put him on the list. I used to really love him, but his work has just become so generic-looking to me. Originally Posted by Alpha

If McFarlane is on there, then Jim Lee should be on there.
Graham Nolan and Tony Daniel would be on my list.Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-

Hardly anyone mentions the '80s during Pre-Crisis, but I'll always consider the artwork of Gene Colan truly iconic (IMHO):

How could Greg Capullo not be on the list?
