This is particularly timely, considering today's television casting news: Project: Rooftop showcases Perry Maple's whimsical redesign of Batman and his allies and enemies, from Robin to Scarecrow to Two-Face.

"The aim for this redesign was to create a colorful, simple, and playful reimagining of the Gotham city universe," the artist explains on his deviantART page. I think he achieved that goal, too, particularly with Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, who look as if they stepped out of a fairy tale. However, I also really like is older take on Selina Kyle in a decidedly different style.
