I love that artwork - absolutely love it.

Imagine a movie with that in it!

Well, Kia Asamiya is a manga/anime artist. Maybe he could do the design work for an animated Burton Batman 3.

I'd be all over it like The Batman on a group of thugs robbing a bank.

Batman is known for having a wide variety of batsuits. But which one(s) do you like the most?

I'm going to have to go with the "New Look" (the grey/blue or black costume w/ the yellow elipse). I grew up with it, & it has left quite a mark in my life (Batman should still have this appearance in today's comics).

Here's two definitive images of the "New Look":

Ditto on every word. Nothing else to add - Thats the Batman I got to know and thats the look I always liked the most - the long-er ears and the yellow oval. I remember when there were some flashback stories with the big black bat logo and short ears I was always dissapointed because I really disliked the original suit. And I mean REALLY bummed out that To this day, Im not that crazy about it

I say we petition for the "New Look"'s resurrection & send it to DC. There's nothing like good old classic detective Batman.

i understand liking batman with blue and grey but i say it looks silly.

anybody ever seen Batman all black with a yellow sheild on his chest like in the movies? come to think of it ive never seen that. ever.
There is no better Joker. Just different portrayals.

Batman had an all-black costume for a while in the 90's. It's called the "Troika suit", after the storyline it first appeared in. Here's a good look at it: http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/sxeetj0c/mark_bagley_SpiderMan_and_BatmanDiso.jpg

I'm a "New Look" fan, but I enjoy black/grey too. All black is too plain for my tastes, and doesn't highlight the superheroic nature of the character well enough.
