Give me YOUR All Star Batman

[Spider-Kurt!]

Who's your creative team?
Would it be based on a certain era? (Year One, O'Neil/Adams era?)
Would it be based on a certain version?(TAS,Batman Begins)
Who are the supporting characters?
Who are the villians?
Are there any major changes from the classic versions of any characters?

[Mee]

I have a feeling we've done this before...but anyway...

Writer: Ed Brubaker, Jeph Loeb, or Matt Wagner
Artist: John Cassaday or Jim Lee

I'd like it to be sort of a blend of all the best. YO, BTAS, Begins, TLH, etc. It would be pre-Robin, no sidekicks. Just Bats, Alfred and Gordon. Main villain for the first arc, either Mr. Freeze or Riddler.

Changes, hmm. Maybe get rid of the undies on the outside. Grey/black or all black color sheme.

I would want it to be like Hughs says he's doing All Star Wonder Woman, an iconic take on the character. It wouldn't be a Batman running over cops and slapping kids.

Bring Grant Morrison and Dave McKean together again!

[Joker]

Creative team: Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale
Era: Year 1-3
Version: Same one from TLH and DV
Supporting Characters: Harvey Dent, Jim Gordon, Alfred
Villains: All of them we havent seen Loebs version of their origins yet

[CConn]

Creative team: Grant Morrison and Jim Lee
Era: Maybe about year 3-5
Version: Mostly an O'Neil/70s version of Batman. Although I'd obviously want the best aspects of the character from all eras integrated into it as well.
Supporting Characters: Robin/Dick Grayson, Alfred, Jim Gordon, Vicki Vale.
Villains: The Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face...all of the big names eventually.
Changes: Only visually. I would have Lee draw a very 70s-esque Batman. Oval, light blue cape, etc. For Robin's costume, I'd have it look more like Tim Drake's than Dick Grayson's...for obvious reasons.

That to me, would be classic, timeless Batman...and perfect for a title intended for newcomers.

That I could see.

Too bad it's gonna be 10 years before a new team gets on the book.

[Revovler]

Creative team: Jim Starlin or Paul Dini writing; Jerry Bingham artist
Era: Pre year one
Version: n/a
Supporting Characters: teachers of Batmans crafts
Villains: new
Changes: early costume sort of like the ninja suit in Batman Begins

I remember a glorious time when I thought that's pretty much what ASB&R was going to be.

That kind of story might as well be in continuity.

[The Watchman]

Morrison is already delivering exactly what I want from a Batman title, so thinking of someone else is a bit hard, and with Dini writing killer single issues I don't know what more I could ask for.

I could envision a number of different teams I'd rather see than Miller/Lee even keeping with the Allstar notion of using superstar creators.

Millar/Hitch
Brubaker/Finch
Waid/Kevin Nowlen
Andy Diggle/Michael Lark
Darwyn Cooke/Darwyn Cooke
Peter David/James Jean
Whedon/Neal Adams

[CConn]

Damn, Whedon and Adams could be pretty amazing.

I know what you mean about already having the perfect Batman; with Morrison, and Dini, and Wagner's mini-series...ASB&R seems even more unneeded.

[The Watchman]

sad but true. I have everything I've ever wanted from Batman title's right now. I'm glad you mentioned Wagner because he's brings the nostalgia and continuity feel, it's amazing how I slip into the TLH DV YO world when I read his Batman work.

[Batman]

Creative team: Mark Waid and Andy Kubert
Era: Year 4
Version: O'Neil/Adams era, in terms of storytelling and characterisation, mixed with more of the... acceptable, Pre-Crisis elements.
Supporting Characters: Robin/Dick Grayson, Alfred, Gordon, Batgirl, Silver St. Cloud, Julie Madison, and Vicki Vale. (Along with an assortment of heroes from the DCU)
Villains: The Joker, Dr. Death, The Cat (Later Catwoman), The Penguin, Two-Face, Mister Zero (Mr. Freeze), Ra's Al Ghul... Alot of updated pre-crsis and modern post-crisis foes from over the years.
Changes: As said, alot of it would be the same as post-crisis, only with a mix of pre-crisis elements added. But overall the same tone as the Post-Crisis Batman. The costumes would be the same, with Batman having the oval and Dick Grayson having pants being the only exception.

[WillemBurr]

TAS Batman. Or, conversely, Batman's portrayl in A Serious House on Serious Earth.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

It would have been exactly like Batman Begins, for me.

[Kool-Aid]

Alan Moore/ Alex Ross or Finch

[hippie_hunter]

Creative Team: Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams
Era: Like Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman, no specifically set era
Supporting Characters: Batman, Alfred, Dick Grayson as Robin, Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, Jim Gordon, Lesile Thompson
Villains: the Joker, Two-Face, the Penguin, Catwoman, the Riddler

Overall bring an iconic version of Batman and Robin just like Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly have done with Superman in All-Star Superman and Adam Hughes promises to do in All-Star Wonder Woman

This is pretty much what i wanted to see from AS Batman

an old thread similar to this one

[Cobblepot]

My allstar Batman team would be:

Writer: Jeph Loeb
Artist: David Mazzuchelli or Darwyn Cooke.
Alternative covers by Tim Sale

I always thought it'd be interesting to have a mature readers Batman title (similar to his portrayal in Arkham Asylum: SHOSE) released on the Vertigo label. Batman always seemed like one of the few superhero titles that could easily make the cross over to the mature readers format at some point. It would never happen in a million years, but it's an interesting though.

Oh, and to answer the question presented, how about Paul Dini and Tim Sale on a year one oriented All Star title? I'd love to see them collaborate.

[Fear of god]

a new origin for jason todd.

[Buttman]

Who's your creative team? Jeph Loeb, any realistic artist (Jim Lee)

Would it be based on a certain era? Origin, and forth.

Would it be based on a certain version? The most recent Batman. (Calm, cold,
collected, not cruel or insane -- like he was about a year ago.)

Who are the supporting characters? Gordon, Alfred, Leslie Tompkins.

Who are the villians? I'd go down TLH route, having Batman start by fighting all the mob bosses and corrupt police, then 'inspiring' a rouge gallery, who eventually take over. The occasional mobster would pop up now and again, fights for turfs and things, but I want the main focus being on the rouge gallery.

Are there any major changes from the classic versions of any characters? I want it to be as honest to the current portrail of Batman as possible. I'd like Alfred to be more.. Oracleqsue at the start. I want crazy far out stories, with realistic art to keep it grounded.

I'm trying to get into comic writing, and I'd love to do ASB&R. I'd let Millar get "bored," cancel the title, leave it a year or two, then restart it with the origin and a new title.

Retellings of old stories, with the current character.

Wasn't that the whole point of Ultimate/As in the first place?

[Mee]

It's suposed to be the character in an iconic form. Drawing from all the best of the history, but new stories.
