Which was the BEST Batman creative team? We all have our favorites, but who was the definitive best, and what's your criteria? Make your pick, and be sure to explain your selections. Voting ends at midnight on November 30th.

I chose Adams/O'Neil since Adams art is the best and the pairing came us classics such as Daughter of the Demon (Batman #232) and Joker's Five-Way Revenge (#251).
Runner up would be Rogers/Austin...who can forget The Laughing Fish?

This is soooo tough, I have a lot of favorites. I've just spent the last five minuets trying to decide between the Wein/Conway/Moench/Colan/Newton period and Grant, Breyfogle and Wagner as those give the most options for my favorites.

Can I vote for Bruce Timm and Paul Dini for Batman: TAS?-it's still my favorite version of the Batman and that creative team was at the heart of it, and stayed together creating Batman longer than any of the post-Golden Age teams (I believe). Or is it strictly comic creative teams? If that's the case, I would probably look at some of the creative teams who did the Batman Adventures books. I like a lot of stories by the creative teams listed but either their runs were really short and never had a chance to really show what they had (or didn't have)so it's difficult to put them in perspective of the long haul, or had as many lows as highs, as many stinkers as gems because they had long runs that were usually good but were still uneven.

Can I vote for Bruce Timm and Paul Dini for Batman: TAS? Considering that their work clearly went on to influence the comics, I think they're absolutely a legitimate option. |

No one should be surprised to see me voting for Wein/Conway/Moench/Newton/Colan Ha, I went the same route. That group of guys just put out some stellar work, so much content that it almost seems like a cheat for them all to be on the same option. Not that I'm complaining mind you as that super-group made my choice that much easier. |

Not that I'm complaining mind you as that super-group made my choice that much easier. It didn't seem to make sense to split them up because Wein's vision pervades the entire stretch (first as writer, later as editor), because it all maintained the same characterizations, plot lines, and continuity, and even because Colan and Newton started with Conway and continued with Moench. It really is one entity unto itself. |

I voted for Oneil/Adams but I have to say that Gene Colan was born to draw Batman.

I voted for Haney and Aparo. In a lot of ways, they aren't necessarily the BEST Bat-team ever but they're definitely my favorite. The Batman of their Brave & Bold run is the definitive one for me personally.

I summon the team-up team par excellance!

I'm realizing that, despite enjoying Batman at a much higher rate than most characters, I've read a very small number of stories (especially from the top-tier). I think I'm only familiar with three or poasibly of those options (Finger/Robinson/Kane, O'Neil/Adams and Miller and maybe Broom/Infantino).
