I prefer the broader black one that spans the whole chest. I've always thought the more subdued, black on gray was Batman's best costume, especially for lurking in the shadows. I love the nostalgia of the yellow circle, Adam West and all. For modern Batman, though, no circle. I tell you what I really hate: the yellow-outlined Rebirth symbol. Awful.

Most likely pulled from Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez' classic DC Style Guides.

I'm conflicted on Bat's logo and colors. The original is black/gray and no oval, but I grew up with blue/gray/yellow oval. I remember as a kid simultaneously wondering why Batman would be dressed in light blue and light gray with a big ol' yellow oval on his chest, but also adoring the look simply because it was what I knew from the TV show, comics, Super Friends and Super Powers. The blue/gray/yellow was so ingrained in me that I hated Burton's all black Batman at first, but then had to admit the black made more sense and it looked alright with the oval. I later got into the early-early Batman comics and found out the oval was added for tradmark reasons. Anyway, which do I prefer now? Neither. I'm cool with both. If I had to limit myself to only one Batman figure but could choose exactly what it looked like, it would be dark-dark-almost-black charcoal gray, black, no underoos and no oval.
Oh, and the utility belt would be dark brown with a mixture of pouches and capsules, his ears would be medium length, he'd have 3 curved spike-things on his gloves, his cape would be long and he'd wear it like a cloak (over his shoulders) and the eyes would be white, no pupils.

It's worth pointing out that Batman artists from way back have explained the suit was never meant to have blue in it, it was always supposed to be black and gray. In the days of four-color printing, blue was often substituted in for shading on black, and it slowly evolved to the blue and gray look. I grew up with that too, but it is still not a great look to me.

I also recall a canonical explanation that the bright yellow oval was intended to draw attention/enemy fire to Batman's not insignificant body armor and away from his head.
