    I particulary like Capullo's Batman.
    The dark tone,the shadows everything mends together perfect.

    After that Tony Daniel(his current colors don't fit batman well).

    Jim lee's batman is too exposed.Batman should feel like a shadow.

    @sog7dc: My first batman comic was Hush(which ironically is his best work).But still i feel his art doesn't fit batman.He likes to play with lights not shadows.

    I will say that greg needs to draw other characters better. there's an issue of batman where bruce looks awesome but everyone else on the page looks anorexic and goofy

    @lifeofvibe: Currently i think he is.The other bat-titles aren't as good as the main one.Also Capullo has great imagination.You see it at his covers.
    While Lee's covers are the so forgetable.

    From these 4, Capullo , but it wasn't an easy decision...

    Capullo depicts Batman with a certain vulnerability that I like.

    Favorite's a tie between Jim Lee and Tony Daniel.

    I quite like Turner's Batman too. Capullo's is alright, his comes across as a little shorter/stockier than I'd like.

    Love the way Capullo depicts the suit as armor and as a price of advanced technology while still making Bruce look muscular and strong in it. The others, though they look great, look like common fabric to me

    Capullo's Batman really encompasses the whole essence of the character. He wins this one.

    Capullo's Batman is perfect IMO. He does dark and gritty better than most.

    Jim Lee's pretty good if you don't mind every character having the same face and body type :P

    I agree... *administers secret art school high-five*

    They're all great artists.

    But when it comes to Batman The best is around Greg and Jim.

    Now lets look who is better at each subjects,

    Jim is better in figure drawings and anotomy, but his faces look the same. Bruce and Clark look like twins. I mean if I were in the comics, i would have thought Bruce Wayne is Superman lol. Dont get me wrong, he is great at face drawing, but his faces look really similar, it is like J Scott Campbell's female faces.

    Greg is better at Giving emotion. his faces look different, like normal people. But sometimes the characters look really young, for example, Batman:Epilogue - Gotham is - .

    Jim is incredibly great at Pin ups, and Epic covers, but his panel design seems a bit off, and not really alive.

    Greg is one of the best STORYTELLER ever. For me he is the best of all time.

    Jims hands are perfect.

    Gregs pages are litterally alive. it is like his characters are really moving.

    In the end,

    Epic Covers, Pinups: Jim Lee

    Page and storytelling: Greg Capullo no doubt.

    In drawing Batman Page and storytelling, emotion are more important, because it is a hard character,

    So i will say Master Greg!
