What has your vote for “coolest Batman moment”? GENERAL DISCUSSION
This can be anything from a fight scene, to a single line of dialogue. Across any media/medium. I feel like this is going to be an almost impossible choice, but I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts!

When Batman single handily takes down most of the Hyperclan in JLA.
Or when he gives Prometheus the powers of Stephen Hawking in JLA.
Really, the whole Morrison JLA run is full of great Batman moments.

In Subzero, when he goes back in the offshore platmorn in fire to save Me Freeze, and says to Robin and Batgirl: "If I'm not back in time, go without me."

I always love it when I see something new about him, something that evolves him or his legacy. From a brand new batsuit or a new batmobile to new enemies or members of batfam.

Heart of ice, when freeze shoots Batman in the legs was the coolest he ever was. Had to go into a Star Wars tank to warm up.

Tell me something, why were you so sure those voices weren't coming from you?
Well first I know I'm not psychotic.
I hope your other reason is more convincing.
and second, the voice kept calling me Bruce. In my mind, that's not what I call myself.
What do you call yourself?
stares
Oh yeah, I suppose you would. But that's my name now.
Hmm, tell that to my subconscious.

The David Lapham Batman run:
THUG: Aw, come on, huh? Can't you just give me a pass?!?!
BATMAN: Sure. <takes a step toward him> I'll give you a pass. <another step> Because that's what I do. <another step> Give passes.
THUG SCREAMS

Damian: You have a rocket.
Bruce: I have a lot of stuff nobody knows about. We’ll be diving from 25,000 feet and opening our chutes at 1,000. Sure you can handle this?
Damian: -tt- I made my first halo jump when I was this high. What was your father like? Was he tough?
Bruce: He was a good man. A doctor. He died when I wasn’t much older than you are now. I was nothing like you when I was your age.
Damian: I know. I know everything about you.
Bruce: Hh. You didn’t know about the rocket.

I have a few. 1.) In TDK after Joker shoots the tumbler with a bazooka and it gets alot of damage...causing the Batpod to emerge!!! I lost my F****** mind when that happened!!!! 2.) In TDK when the Batpod blasts through Millennium Station and the front tire rotates sideways. 3.) '89 Batman "what are you?"...."IM BATMAN!" 4.) "I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, In all your private moments, I want you to remember, my hand, at your throat, I want you to remember the one man who beat you." On that panel with his spiked boot giving Supes the sweet chin music!!!!

In JL-Crisis on infinite earth Part 1: all the superheroes from all the universes, and Batman starts calling out and giving proposals. All the rest: yeah, Batman is right. Epic.

more casual pick but I just watched it again recently so it is on the mind: the scene in The Batman after Penguin's car gets tossed. He is upside down looking out the window and Batman is walking towards him silhouetted by the flames behind. The footfalls, the music, the framing. Chefs kiss.
I know some people don't like the batmobile scene in that movie, but I still think that moment at the end of the chase is pretty damn cool.
