    Tim Sale is a personal favorite of mine. Absolutely love his Batman art, especially his Joker. Something in particular I love is that he bases a lot of character’s designs around certain color palettes that are the central focus of their design.

    Tony Daniels' work captivated me during Grant Morrison's run. The art felt like a more gothic version of Jim Lee's plus all the original villain designs from the Club of Villains were top tier, feeling like real Silver Age characters revamped for modern audiences.

    1.Tim Sale(I Love the painted covers and the stylized designs he draws,he also draws my favorite two face design)
    2.Norm Breyfogle(I Love how he draws the cape and how batman has ton of expressions)
    3.Brian Bolland(I like the art remind of Old detective stories covers and that he drew the best joker)
    4.Dustin Nguyen(I Love his cartoony style more than his style in Paul Dini Run but I love the painted look which give me a melancholy vibe to his art)
    5.David Mazzucchelli(I Love his more slim look on Bats and his blocky yet realistic art style)

Maybe they're a little generic (I still have a lot to read and no list is ever set in stone), but they earned a place in my heart. Great video, cheers!

    This is a respectable list. My list would replace Jones with Neal Adams. I agree that Aparo's later stuff is less strong but I think that was primarily because he was no longer doing his own inks.

    For me, in my formative years as a comic book fan, it was definitely Jim Aparo's Batman which I felt was the signature Batman. Bruce Timm's Batman is a close 2nd while he doesnt get much love as a Bat-artist, I thought JH Williams III had an insanely beautiful artstyle that suited the character and tone

    bodybuilder Batman is actually what I prefer. A Bruce Timm type of Batman. One that fits the era of NY the original stories were going for. Superheroes represent the era in which they were born, so Timm's old school style fits naturally with heroes in general.

  • @kevrulz06
    @kevrulz06 2 роки тому +1

    Grade A list. Not bad at all. Some of my favs:
    1. Jim Lee - no one should dismiss Lee just because it's "obvious" or "everyone would pick him". Everyone picks him for a reason. Lee pretty much decided what comics ought to look like for two decades. I once heard someone say that it's unfortunate that Lee's best art of his career might be All Star Batman & Robin, which is sad because everyone hates that comic, but upon really diving into the art, it's hard to argue it's not Lee's best work. Joker is definitely Lee's weak spot in drawing Batman's rogues gallery, but even he looks good in ASBaR.
    2. Kelley Jones - Batman #522 by Moench and Jones, "Swamp Things", where Batman chases Croc to the "swamps South of Houma" was my first comic book, so Jones's Batman was my first. I LOVED everything about that comic, the story, the atmosphere, the creepiness of it all, Moench's narration and the way he writes inner monologues. That was when Jones was really, really ON.
    3. Greg Capullo - He might be the modern Breyfogle in terms of Batman expression. I've read all of Snyder/Capullo's Batman. He's quite good at making an emotionally expressive Batman. I think I've seen every emotion from him in their time together on the character. And Capullo's style is just meant for Batman. But, what would you expect from a guy who did all those Spawn comics?
    4. Jason Fabok - He's like Jim Lee and Gary Frank combined. A master artist who didn't do enough at DC.
    5. Tony S. Daniel - He, like Ivan Reis, Lee, and Van Sciver all sort of fit into that in house "DC style", but I don't care. That's the DC style for a reason. Because it's great. There's something about Daniel's style that I just love. He is a better artist than he is a writer though. His Deathstroke run was kickass though. And Tyler Kirkham, who was born to draw badass characters like Deathstroke, took over on art after the "Godkiller" story, and it got better from there.

    All the artists in the video are in my top slots of Batman artists as well with the exception of Kelley Jones.
    He’s good but I wouldn’t put him in my top tiers. Tim Sale would be one that would be in my top tiers.

    Jim Lee is my favorite comic book artist, period. But I agree, his Joker is not my favorite. it's actually ranked pretty low compared to other Batman artists.

    1. Jim Lee
    2. Tie: Jim Aparo & Neal Adams
    3. Marshall Rogers
    4. Todd McFarlane
    5. Joe Quesada
    The bottom 3 all had short stints drawing Batman; Quesada didnt even draw the character in his own series, The Sword Of Azrael mini was gorgeous and his gimmick cover for issue 500 was cool. McFarlane took the baton from Rogers and ramped it up to a whole new level.

    I find the lack of Bob Kane in this video confusing. Granted, I'm not here to defend how he treated Bill Finger or anything like that, but Bob Kane was Batman's original artists and he drew some of the greatest character designs in all of comics. I know he had other artists draw for him at times, but the artwork that he did do remains some of the best art ever drawn.

    • @ScrotieJohnson
      @ScrotieJohnson 2 роки тому +3

      He also traced alot of his panels, and he technically didnt design many characters, bill finger fleshed out the characters along with gardner fox ,who added alot early on as the 2nd batman writer. Bill finger created batmans look, joker is controversial, alot people say the jerry robinson bill finger story is true, but bob kane attached his name to everything because he had the contract, and since he wasnt much of an artist hired many of ghost artists, some are distintive some just blend together. Two-face, the old alfred when he was short and fat, the 1st catwoman design, are some i can actually verify because of all artists working on batman being bob kane, here are the "other bob kanes" Dick sprang, jim mooney , jerry robinson, sheldon moldoff,George Roussos, Jack Burnley, Win Mortimer, paul cooper,Charles Paris, Lew Sayre Schwartz, Stan Kaye, and curt swan

    I love Jim Lee but honestly I'm not a big fan of his Batman. His style fits much better on a team book like X-Men or Justice League.

    I get the feeling I won't be happy with the list! However... This is all subjective, so I'll try not to get all butthurt.

      I think your picks were solid and you explained them very well. You're right about Kelly Jones being hit or miss(Never Boring!) Personally, Don Newton, Gene Colan & Neal Adams are favorites of mine along with Norm Breyfogle and Jim Aparo from your list.
