I have to make note of Contagion. That was gross. Who waded through that? But list all the other money-grubbers that made you sqeumish.
1. Contagion
2. No Man's Land
3. Officer Down
4. War Games
5. Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive
6. Legacy (that was it? Bane vs. Batman rematch? Four pages?)

No Man's Land rocked.
I haven't read any of the other big crossovers yet.

Murderer/Fugitive
It started strong and it ended... not quite as strong, but well enough.
But the middle just weent ooon foooooreeeeeever!
Legacy was pretty dull, but because I didn't have anything invested in the story it just didn't bug me as much.

War Games BY FAR. Their were maybe one 2 good issues out of the whole crossover the rest was uter crap mostly under Willingham's writing.
Murderer/Fugitive is one of the best IMO. Especially since it helped humanize Batman's character more by the ending which DC not surprisingly has totally ignored.

Batman vs Hulk? Batman Spawn?
Ah, wrong kind of crossover.
They still sucked through.

I really liked No Man's Land. Everyone one since then has been rather bleh. Officer Down was pretty good.
Killing Joke was terrible overkill and War Games was annoying and badly put together.

That Scooby Doo Mysteries cartoon where Batman and Robin fought Penguin and Joker with the help of the Scooby gang. Too bad Joker didn't use a tire iron on Shaggy.

Was Legacy the Ra's Al Ghul story where he appoints Bane his new successor?

I thought No Man's Land was mostly top notch. Sure some weak sections but all in all a good story. Rucka's novel adaptation supports that argument too. Since then I haven't been really impressed by the cross-overs. Yeah, No Man's Land was really good.
And if you haven't read Rucka's novel, do it soon.
War Games WAS pretty lame.
War Crimes looks intersting so far (and much better) even though its a cross-over on a tiny scale. Maybe that's why it may work.

War Games. At least War Crimes is good so far one issues into it.

Knigtfall, went on to long and just seemd to be there as a bat's version of the "death of superman"
The Joker

I think I'll go with WARGAMES on this one.
It had it's moments, but was very unsatisfying in the end. Atleast IMHO.

I love Spawn and I love Batman but the Spawn/ Batman and Batman/Spawn crossovers both sucked

UUHHFF! How can little man be as strong has Hulk!? LOL
Wow... I though 'Last Laugh' would have been the winner by a landslide... it hasn't even been mentioned.

I agree. Last Laugh was HORRIBLE! Every DC series that crossed over basically told the same story over and over. The bat crew acted out of character, and the story was just abysmal

OMG! Last Laugh! OMG!
Yeah, that was so bad I blocked it instinctively. The worst thing was that the Joker DIDN'T EVEN DIE! Not even a temporary death, nothing!
Horrible idea and dragged down the whole line for a month.

Yeah, it was a prank pulled by the security guards. "Hey, let's make this mass-murdering psychopath in a room full of super-powered psychopaths think his days are numbered!"
