  Batman

  £225.00

  “Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.”

  Tim Burton was the perfect choice at the time to re-invent this major screen character & for me this is the definitive Batman movie. Posters for Burton’s “Batman” have always been hugely collectable since it was released in 1989 with the original marketing campaign basically just using the Batman logo. This has left a huge scope for artists since, to re-imagine and re-interpret their own unique take on the movie and character – making it perfect content for the alternative movie poster market. Batman (in all of his guises) is one of the most popular subjects for commissions – admittedly some better than others. Offered here is one of the better examples as Alberto Reyes presents his variant edition. Known as the Joker style or the Jokerized version it sees Jack Nicholson’s Joker in a clever spin from one of the key scenes from the film. Enigmatic and stylish, hand-numbered (#69/89) and signed by the artist, Alberto Reyes is truly impressive. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect and represents a superb Joker image from one of the defining Batman films.

  Trivia: Jack Nicholson said of his role, “The thing I like about the Joker is that his sense of humor is completely tasteless.” He later said The Joker was one of his favorite roles he played.

  Batman

  £195.00

  “Bruce Wayne – Y’see, my life is really… complex.”

  Tim Burton was the perfect choice at the time to re-invent this major screen character & for me this is the definitive Batman movie. Posters for Burton’s “Batman” have always been hugely collectable since it was released in 1989 with the original marketing campaign basically just using the Batman logo. This has left a huge scope for artists since, to re-imagine and re-interpret their own unique take on the movie and character – making it perfect content for the alternative movie poster market. Batman (in all of his guises) is one of the most popular subjects for commissions – admittedly some better than others. Offered here is one of the better examples as Alberto Reyes presents his Batman, fully costumed (it’s nice to see an artist present a screen accurate costume for a change) in the Batcave. Enigmatic and stylish, hand-numbered (#69/89) and signed by the artist, Alberto Reyes is truly impressive. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect and represents a memorable image from one of the defining Batman films.

  Trivia: Michael Keaton, who calls himself a “logic freak”, was concerned that Batman’s secret identity would, in reality, be fairly easy to uncover, and discussed ideas with Tim Burton to better disguise the character, including the use of contact lenses. Ultimately, Keaton decided to perform Batman’s voice at a lower register than when he was portraying Bruce Wayne. This technique became a staple of future portrayals of Batman in film, television, and video games, especially those of Kevin Conroy and Christian Bale.

  Incredible Hulk

  £195.00

  “Don’t make me angry…You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”

  Scarce, original UK quad movie poster for Kenneth Johnson’s 1977 Marvel super hero actioner “The Incredible Hulk”. One of the biggest and most successful TV shows of the 1970s started life in the UK as a two hour cinematic release, as audiences saw mild-mannered scientist – Bruce Banner (Bill Bixby) transform into the Incredible Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Both feature on the British quad offered here complemented by bright green (naturally) title imagery taken directly from the comic book. Having a limited release, this is a rare poster. Presented in excellent folded (as issued) unrestored high grade condition. Highly collectable, it represents a fabulous opportunity to own very early Marvel movie memorabilia that will appeal to both the comic book fan and a poster collector.

  Trivia: Dr. Banner was named Bruce in the comics, but is renamed David for this telefilm. The tombstone at the end of the episode reveals his full name to be David Bruce Banner. This is actually partially consistent with the comics, in which his full name is Robert Bruce Banner.
