A lot of people like Zeta, but I'm pretty sure they don't rate it as the best Gundam ever.

If you really reject the realism and prefer Gothic, Bruce Tim and Paul Dini's vision of Batman is much more fleshed out than Burton's). It is definitely one of the darkest Gundams though, but V would be just as dark. It's very hard to compare it to Batman because it doesn't follow the whole AU thing. If you really need to then you need to include DCAU and Under the Redhood.

Anyway I went off in a giant tangent about Batman because I'm a fan. But yes...I agree that if Seed is Batman Forever then Destiny is definitely Batman and Robin.
Here's my revised comparisons of the AU Gundams to the Batman movies:
  • G Gundam = Batman (1966)
  • Wing = Batman (1989)
  • Turn A = Batman Returns
  • SEED = Batman Forever
  • SEED Destiny = Batman & Robin
  • 00 S1 = Batman Begins
  • 00 S2 = The Dark Knight
