Who is your favourite Batman creative team Rob?
Paul Dini & Bruce Timm?
Those guys do GREAT Batman but being a veteran of 24 years of age I'd have to go with Denny O'Neill/Neal Adams.
(When I was a kid he was a Caped Crusader not a Dark Knight - but Miller rocked my world at age 10.)
Read some of that stuff - check the Millenium Edition "Secret of The Waiting Graves" or the Batman in The Seventies Tp - really good stylish stuff that still looks fresh today.
Oh yeah, no dissin' in this here reply - I think you're cool Rob.
