Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
@thecheesestabber: Some art are horrible, just like Frazer, but they capture the insanity of the characters, their dark aspect, that's why I love him. Like Capullo's art, it's not great, but he captures the dark essence of Batman. Ross capture the reality of dark and light perfectly.
@conradoaccorsi: Sorry dude I admire Lee's work but I would never call it realistic. Stylized? Dynamic? Detailed? Yes, but not realistic. You're never going to find spandex much less Kevlar molding around the body like that in real life. Or humans with those proportions for that matter.
Hard to choose which I like best though because I've always been a huge fan of Jim Lee's work so that leaves me a bit biased but I dunno there's something about Capullo's art that I admire but can't quite put my finger on. Much more simple, cleaner I dunno what it is I loved it ever since I first picked up Court of Owls.
I have to go with Lee. There's just something about Capullo's work that doesn't work for me. I don't know what. I also didn't care for the way he drew the dirty and beat up Batman in issues 6&7. Jim on the hand draws Batman exactly the way I picture him, especially since he changed the build, and mad him look slimmer in the New 52. The only problem I had with Jim's pre-52 work was Batman looked way too buff. But as others have said, Jim hasn't done his best lately, and is getting sloppy. I still have to go with him, love his Bats.
Oh wait i think ill pick the better pic jim lee unfortunatly that gregs batman at the moment looks really really bland its why i dont like batman the animated series (yaaa come at me) the animation was so bland but in the last season something changed but before ugh
Jim Lee was my favorite artist of all time but his New 52 has damaged his reputation in my eyes. Gotten a lot worse and less iconic, almost lazy. The splash pages are still the greatest of all time, but it's of a lesser quality. Capullo knows how to draw a great dark and gritty version of Gotham and Batman but it can't compare to Jim Lee for me. Compared to Lee, his art isn't impressive in my eyes.
Greg Capullo for me. I used to think Jim Lee's art was amazing, but i just find it a bore now. Greg can actually draw faces that look different. Lex Luther and Harvey Dent look like identical twins in Hush.
