Blue, Black and Gray for me ... aka Mego version

[Bionic Joe]

The blue& gray all the way, That's the classic 70s BATMAN i grew up reading

[Raydeen1]

Blue, grey, black. I prefer his shorts blue too. Eventhough it's SUPPOSED to be black and grey and I do like that look, I prefer the blue.

[Jeff1967]

Gotta go with the 70's blue grey version, but any batman is ok with me.

[toys2cool]

all black like the 89 movie one

[bobws]

Blue/Grey all the way ! 70's style before the Dark came back in the Dark Knight .

[thunderbolt]

Black and grey. No self respecting creature of the night would be caught dead in sky blue.

[The Bat]

Black & Grey also...blue is just meant to be a highlight for black in Comics anyway.

[jds1911a1]

Blue & gray it's the batman I grew up on (66 tv 60 * 70 filmation, superfreinds, and Neil adams)

[Riffster]

classic neal adams colors

[Action Martin]

Blue and grey.

[DC_Guy]

Blue, black and grey, but only if it's a dark, midnight blue - I agree with thunderbolt that the sky blue looks ridiculous. Second place would be black and grey. I never liked the all black look.

[kingdom warrior]

Black and Gray. I never liked the blue especially when it was baby Blue.

Depends on where I'm seeing him . . .

On the comics page, the 70s Adams/Aparo blue & grey I think works best, allowing the character to stand out in the dark scenes and have presence around the other more brightly colored characters. In general, I don't think the charcoal and midnight blue looks work well on the printed page or make for effective storytelling.

On screen, in movies with reall-live actors, I think the all-black look is more effective, less distracting in color and more striking for creating this dark, shadowy presence in a scene.

Althought for both, I prefer the emblem with the yellow oval -- if you're going to wear a symbol on your chest, wear it so it can be seen. Although I have a soft spot for the plain black bat, it doesn't stand out to me, and defeats the purpose of wearing it.
