The ideal Batman for me will always be Jim Aparo style. Maybe because it was the first Batman I encountered as a kid but I just always loved it. This Batman was undeniably superheroic and the good guy but still looked intimidating enough in the light blue, grey and yellow that I wouldn't want to be one of the villains he was against. My favorite Batman designs tend to reminds me of that one in one way of another (TAS, Brave and the Bold).
Of Bourassa's designs, the one that really comes close to my ideal is Young Justice season 1. It's not too beefy but built enough to look superheroic. He gives off the same vibe of not looking scary but intimidating enough for the people he needs to intimidate. It looks great when compared against all of the other major heroes like Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash and the colors help to contrast against them, too. The horn length is perfect. I love the detail of the body armor lines that match the show's aesthetic but also don't take away at all from being identifiably Batman. The yellow utility belt is also great since it breaks up the color scheme, along with the trunks, more than a gray belt or some other color might and without looking garish.
