    Out of who I've read I've enjoyed Morrison's take on the character the most.

    Grant Morrison. I really like Scott Snyder, though a lot may disagree with me. Morrison still had the best run: Batman & Son, Batman RIP, Batman & Robin, Batman Inc...

    Out of what I've read, Jeph Loeb. Hush and The Long Halloween are my 1st and 3rd favorite comics of all time.

    Dennis O'Neil deserves respect for his Batman run.

    It's not that I didn't like Morrison's run, it's just that I didn't like Morrison's run as much as every one else did...then again, I'm not a Morrison fan to begin with.

    Having said that, my vote goes to Bob Kane.

    Shame that I had to be the first one to vote Bob

    Yeah him too,though I have my issues with some of his work I always liked how he could tell good Batman stories without turning them in to gore fests.

    He's up and down. His SOTB run was mostly solid, but he also wrote some absolutely retarded stories about Batman getting abducted by aliens and stuff.

    Kane had nothing to do with Batman,he's just a glory hound.Bill Finger yeah that guy was awesome,he created Batman,Two-face,Hugo Strange,Deadshot,co created the Joker and wrote Batman from the Golden Age to the Silver age.Kane gets credit for Catwoman and even then only partially.His Catwoman was named Elva Barr not Selina Kyle,they changed her name in the Silver Age and she wasn't even a love interest to Batman till much later Vicki Vale,Julie Madison and Kathy Kane were the women he loved back then.
