But I voted other, because I'm assuming the title in the poll is the original Batman book, whereas I liked the recent Waid/JMS series.

I liked that one too. Eliminating a few spectacularly awful issues at the start of the Straczynski run, which were both formulaic in a boring way (The hero loses his powers or spends the issue tied up or something so they can't do cool stuff) and both predictably and heavy-handedly moralistic...
You've got about 31 good issues from a 35 issue series. Even the interim writers were surprisingly good - the Hine/Braithwhite stuff was about the best dark science fiction story I've ever read in a superhero book. Not that there's a lot of competition.

Of these, the Marvel books are the only ones I've read much of, and I think I preferred MTIO. I was fond of The Thing, and not a fan of Spider-Man, and the stories seemed richer. Sometimes there'd even be arcs, like the Serpent Crown Affair.
Of course MTU #100 is a classic.
