People may get out their pitchforks, but overall, pre-Crisis Batman is not my favorite. I think the hard-edgedness that Miller introduced (okay, he wasn't the first) worked quite well for the character. Of course, by the late 90s, it had become too extreme. Interestingly, I did not like the obsession with his dead parents that writers gave him. What I liked about Bronze Age Batman is that he hardly brooded, but sadly, he seemed so incompetent at times. Welcome to CCF! Thanks! And thanks for not getting out them pitchforks! Now don't get me wrong, I like Pre-Crisis Batman ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I think Doug Moench's pre-crisis run with Nocturna and all that is certainly not the best written run, but it is certainly one of the most interesting, as it is just so weird and nothing like what was before or after. I am just contrasting this to Superman - here I vastly prefer the pre-crisis take on his personality and world. With Batman, not so much. Wonder Woman I dont know, I dont care enough and all about her is a mess anyway.

My 'Pre-Crisis Batman' is 'Len Wein Batman',starting with BATMAN 307 in 1978, which was mostly adhered to by Wolfman and Conway, up until 1983.
