    Mikel Janin and Jim Lee draw my definitive Bruce Wayne. Lee's portrayal of Bruce going to the opera with Selina in Hush and Janin's profile turnaround for Bruce is in Wikipedia

    Jim Lee and Jason Fabok for Batman

    Classic Blue Batman is Neal Adams and Marshal Rogers for the Strange Apparitions arc

    Greg Capullo draws the best Baby Bruce Wayne, both the 8 year old and the 18 year old

    Lee Weeks for the older tired stressed Bruce in the Cold Fear (?) arc

    Tony Daniel draws a really pretty younger Bruce in New 52 Detective Comics

    Hopefully this counts, but another favorite would be...

    Dustin Nguyen


    His stint on Batman is one of my favorites especially his design for the Bat-Family.

    If McFarlane gets in for one of the most iconic covers of all time, then...

    Jones did the covers for most of the Knights Saga then had a great run on batman. He was the artist on the legendary Batman/Dracula series and still does the occasional miniseries to this day.
    "Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"

    "I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"

    "*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."

    Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

    I'll add that lesser mentioned artists like Shawn Martinbrough, Roger Robinson and Michel Lark (Gotham Central) all contributed greatly to Batman and should get more respect.

    I enjoyed Rogers work. I couldn't stand Martinbrough's work though, turned me off of Detective at the time.
    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-

    Shawn Martinbrough's run with Rucka is probably one of my all-time favorite 'Tec runs ever. Michael Lark's a personal fave, too.
    Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

    Marshall Rogers is tied with Neal Adams as my favorite Batman artist.

    Good seeing Dustin Nguyen getting another mention. One of my favourites.

    Iconic? I always have to go back to the immortal Jose Luis Garcia Lopez. When I close my eyes, THIS is Batman the Batman I picture.

    Same here, it's a phenomenal run.

    There are a ton of amazing Batman artists, many (but not all) of whom have been mentioned here.

    But most iconic? Neal Adams and Jim Aparo, listed alphabetically here because neither is more iconic than the other... and then way down the list there's everybody else.
