Miller's Dark Knight from that list.

To this day I have yet to see a better take on Batman then Mask of the Phantasm. TAS.

[Slam_Bradley]

Bronze Age. O'Neil & Adams. Englehart & Rogers. Don Newton & Gene Colan.

[Young Avenger]

JLU Batman.

[Gary Joyce]

Batman - TAS for me.

Kevin Conroy is the best batman ever IMO.

All set.
And mine is the Batman Animated Series one.
For me, that is the most definitive portrayal of both Batman and Bruce Wayne.

[The Batman]

I voted for the TAS/JLU Timmverse Batman because it took many of the best elements of the Post-Crisis Miller Batman but does not have all the excesses and just plain bad stories that have been attatched to that version of Batman over the last 20 years. If I could've voted for both, or just voted for the Batman of Year One and Dark Knight Returns and JLA I'd have done that.

Animated Series

[Lorendiac]

Bronze Age. O'Neil & Adams. Englehart & Rogers. Don Newton & Gene Colan.

I am also partial to Batman as he was handled by certain writers around the 70s and the early 80s in particular, what Slam calls the Bronze Age Batman, and what I might alternately call "Batman in the years immediately before Crisis." A very different kettle of fish from the Batman of the "Silver Age," late 50s and 60s era.

Of the live-action movies, my favorite is the "Batman Forever" version.

[Hush Little Batman]

All set.

Thank you! :)

I wish I could've given you guys more poll choices, but it's limited to 10 and I tried to include as many different interpretations as possible.

Yeah there needed to be another choice inbetween Modern and Silver. I voted Silver since that was the costume and attitude "Pre-Miller", though it would actually be closer to modern

TAS -- I love that portrayal of Batman more than any other. GO KEVIN CONROY!! Though Bale's portrayal is right up there too.

[Damo]

The one we see in Batman The Animated Series... but maybe not the Batman we saw in JLU? I'm not sure I agree with how they depict him working with others. Aside from that tough.

And I have a huge love for the Bronze Age tales, but TAS had to top them. How could it not, with an older and wiser Denny O'Neil coming back and writing the first meeting between Batman and Ra's for TAS? I loved Denny's first crack at that story, but the version that ended up on TV was probably the best thing in the entire show.

I will say I think they did the Joker's origin badly though. I have a few niggles about the show, but that was an important thing they got wrong. Better to have not touched on it at all than to make him a real piece of scum even before the chemical dip.

[The Shadow]

Bronze Age. O'Neil & Adams. Englehart & Rogers. Don Newton & Gene Colan.

Same here!
