I thought I'd start this thread after encountering the work of so many classic Batman writers and artists in places I never expected to find them.
I was surprised to discover Brian Bolland drawing Batman for what may have been the first time in JLA 200; Marshall Rogers returning to not only draw Batman, but to retell portions of The Case of the Chemical Syndicate in Secret Origins 6; Mike Barr and Alan Davis reuniting in Gotham Knights 25 came out of nowhere as well; Norm Breyfogle had his first work on Batman published in the 1970's when he entered a 'Design a New Costume for Robin' contest (although someone redrew his entry when it was published).
Given the fact that Bolland hasn't drawn Batman too many times, I was surprised that it isn't common knowledge that he drew him in that anniversary issue of JLA. Similarily, I don't know how highly regarded Barr and Davis's work on Batman was, but I still didn't think that something like the two of them working together after a break of about a dozen or so years would slip in under the radar.
So I thought I'd start this thread as a way through which the more obscure works of the artists and writers you like can be given greater attention.
