What's the Ultimate Batman?

[knight errant00]

Adams/Aparo . . . the one that comes to mind when I think of Batman . . .

[blastphemey]

i also like them both, but it depends if he wants more of a classic look , he should Infantinos ..> .but neal adam's batman is more of a "punishing vigilante" look to him

A West Batman Would Make an Absolute Killing too,.. if one could Make one.

Adams/Aparo/Lopez Batman Late 70's threw the 80's.
& I'll be there.

Yes. Garcia lopez draws a wicked batman!

[fallensaviour]

Neil Adams all the way here....

A person I've been in business with has recently started a new company and has the rights to Batman. He wants to produce a collectible figurine and has asked me to be a consultant on the project.

I am trying to steer him to not only make this the comic Batman but to make it appear to look like a classic version of the character fans will love.

I chose two designs but wonder if there are more:

Carmine Infantino

Neal Adams

I am missing the boat? Is there somebody else they should consider?

Now that must have cost a bundle. If I may ask how did your friend pull this off? I know alot of people that would like to do the same thing. But the $$$ has always been too much. Unless that has changed. PM me please.

I would have to go with Adams/Aparo/Giordano look too. That is THE Batman as far as I'm concerned. The only problem is the people at DC don't know who Adams/Aparo/Giordano are. I'm not kidding. I spoke with Jason Adams; Neal's son, at a show a couple years ago. The people running the DC are clueless.

I'd really like to see Dick Sprang's version.

[Raydeen1]

Oh I agree. Some have said his is the quintessential Batman and I'm inclined to agree but the others' styles are far more widely known. My reasoning for mentioning it was mostly because it hasn't been done yet while the others have.

I'm a HUGE fan of Marshall Rogers, but his Batman is pretty distinctive, and doesn't represent the era as broadly as the Adams/Aparo/Giordano look. Just my opinion.

Well...for Classic, I'd definately say NEAL ADAMS!!

Mordern...Jim Lee ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I agree on the 70s era. Neal Adams/Dick Giordano/Jim Aparo look but I love the Marshall Rogers look as well.

I also love the Infantino era. Great choices.

I'm the first to say that I don't know BOO about comic book artists, but I'm familiar w/ Neal Adams b/c of his art on Power Records. So, I like him.

[ScottA]

I would say Adams as well. I typically don't think that far back to Infantino's Batman when someone mentions Batman in general. But either is a great choice.
