I respectfully disagree. These are all better covers than Batman 227 IMO.
uh-oh....sounds like a Adams cover vs. Cover Top 20 voting new thread needs to be created...
let the voters decide...

Listed here are vote count and percentage of total votes for each book that made the finals. No surprise: Batman #227 ran away with the number 1 spot, followed by GL #76 and Bats #251 tied for distant second.

Unfortunately, the cover image links I used are dead and I cannot edit the post to fix them. I believe you can still vote though if you have not done so!
