Gerry, not sure. Batman's outstretched left hand and many other features look identical to me and his general positioning is clearly from that famous pose and this sure looks like Adams, but there are also a lot of minor differences. The cape draping you mention and the position of his right leg, plus the inking of his left leg and the city background obviously added. Perhaps because this was for an over-sized Treasury Edition they had Adams go back and recreate the pose on larger paper so that the detail would fit the larger size?

Definitely, a different drawing. Batman´s whole stance seems different, stiffer, less cat-like...

Looks plausible to me too, Gerry. That recreation of the World's Greatest Super-Heroes is awesome, btw...
