WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE BATMAN WRITER?

[Blake Petit]

Because every character should have one, who do you think is the best scribe ever to chronicle the Batman?

[Ammar Al Subahi]

I voted for Judd Winnick, your reviews on As The Crow Flies made me interested in picking up Batman, and Judd Winnick's writing made me stay..atleast for a while

[Blake Petit]

I voted for Dixon, myself. I'm a fan of many of the writers I listed there, but Chuck Dixon does street-level action better than just about anyone in comic books.

[Terry Verticchio]

I voted for Frank Miller...he brought Bats back into the mainstream and made me interested in the character. People still remembered the terrible show, but Frank's DKR and Year One removed that stigma. If it wasn't for Frank there would have been no Bat movie, IMO.

[Linus]

I voted for Frank Miller because of Year One. I also think jeph Loeb is up there with Long Halloween and Hush.

[Bigby Wolf]

I have liked a lot of what some of these writers have done with Batman, Brubaker, Loeb, Rucka, Winnick and Dixon especially, but I vote for Frank Miller because he wrote Year One, which is my favortie Batman story, and Dark Knight Returns.

[Liam Creswick]

I liked LH/DV and to an extent Hush more than I did DKR and Year 1. So i voted for Loeb. Miller is a close second.

Alan Grant has a wonderful handle on the character and created Anarky, whose relationship with Batman I found most interesting of any within his rogues gallery.

I'm going to go back a bit further and give it to Dennis O'Neal. Him and Neal Adams brought Bats back from the campy silliness of the sixties. If you haven't yet, check out some of O'Neal's stories from the early 70s.

Great.

[Blake Petit]

Geez, how did I leave O'Neil off the list???

He's on now.

[LeatherWings]

I said Dixon, while he's not the best at Batman himself, he can write every other member of the Bat Family perfectly, and is pretty good at Bats as well. Second would have to be Loeb, Long Halloween's the best. Third O'Neil cuz he brought back Batman from the dead.

[DocDoom]

Frank Miller, his year one is essential reading, it's just great, his DKR is also very very good,
Jeph Loeb i didn't get into hush, but i love long halloween
Oneal and Dixon are the Bat stories i grew up with, and i loved Moore's Killing Joke and Morrison's JLA, Bats was awesome there

[Jimmy-San]

Alan Grant, Frank Miller, and Jeph Loeb.

[toastmeister]

Jeph Loeb, but by a margin. The margin is that he's written more about Batman than Miller, and been very consistent with it. Miller has 3 stories of Batman fame, whilst Loeb has done over 50 issues of Superman/Batman, Hush, Dark Victory and Long Halloween and has STILL kept the character interesting. Great writer!

1st: Frank Miller for Year One: (My all-time favorite Batman story) and he gets a plus for the unique creativity of DarkKnight.
2nd Place would go to Alan Moore for "Killing Joke", "For the Man Who Has Everything" and his Batman controntation in Swamp Thing.
3rd to Judd Winick for his recent fantastic dialogue and fightinig sequences between The Red Hood and Batman (so impressive & very well scripted.)

Arrrggghhh
