Catching up....
Neal Adam's Batman or Jim Aparo's Batman - While Aparo did far more work on the Caped Crusader, Adams remains my personal favorite. His early '70s work with Denny O'Neil redefined the character and remains my all-time favorite Batman run. Aparo's stuff is consistently good, but he doesn't have the "wow" factor that Adams' work does.
Batman: Year One or Dark Knight Returns - Both were great, but Dark Knight takes it by an easy margin in my book. Few works in comics history were as influential as Dark Knight Returns and it remains an all-time classic.
Batman: Hush or Superman: For Tomorrow - I hate to admit this, but I've not read For Tomorrow. Hush was good, though.
Superman:Birthright or Man of Steel - Again, I'm sad to say I haven't read Birthright. MoS was fantastic, though.
JB's vision of Superman is the one I prefer. He sees Clark Kent as a true American/man of Earth who just happens to be an "immigrant" from another planet (perhaps mirroring JB's own life's journey). To me, that's how Superman should be portrayed. When Superman is portrayed as an alien in foreign environment, that just loses me.
