I know, right? Miller will always be a favorite, but Kubert's additional detail puts him in the lead (but just barely ).
Jason's Wingman, you mean.
That image came from the first Batman VS. Predator miniseries (1991).

I totally love Mikel Janin. He might be my favorite Batman artist these days.
Also love :
- Jock
- Dustin Nguyen
- Doug Manhke (he's awesome in everything he does tho)
- Jason Fabok (my favorite cb artist overall)
- Clay Mann!
EDIT:
I forgot Pat Gleason! Ah man, that magnificent silent issue of Batman & Robin.

Really great choices. I love the clarity and power Janin brings. Jock's sketchiness is incredibly powerful, especially in things like his Black Mirror, Batwoman: Cutter, or the covers for Batman #50 and Action 1000. Manhke is extremely talented, and I already put Fabok on my top list myself. As for Clay Mann - his stuff is so beautiful, with a lovely line to it. And, of course, Gleason's polished, thick line, with shiny light details is incredibly appealing (I miss him at DC so much).

Williams III. The Black Glow is one of my favorite Batman stories mostly because of the art. There is no art that suits Batman better. I wish Jonathan Hickman and Williams III would do a long run on Batman.
Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
