Photoshopped of course, but a mid-late 1980's one-shot Batman/Spider-Man crossover would have been interesting to see.

I believe this was the first Batman cover Brian Bolland did. Which was for a UK Annual in 1982.



And speaking of Bolland, here's a few covers from the "Joker Last Laugh" event.

I always found it telling how quickly Batman rebounded from huge mega storylines like Knightfall and No Man's Land. Yes, you could argue that 1995 and 2000 were... not great years for Batman comics. Not terrible. Not great either tho. But the character found his groove again fairly quickly, all things considered.

Compare that to the Superman titles, which needed a full year to recover from Krisis Of The Krimson Kryptonite (which wasn't a huge storyline by any means except for the final chapter) and arguably never fully recovered from the Doomsday/Funeral For A Friend/Reign Of The Supermen storylines.
