  Batman Returns

  £195.00

  “While She Craves a Romance She can Sink Her Claws Into, He Plots a Fowl Reign of Destruction.”

  Tim Burton’s dark and visually extravagant return to Gotham is captured in this striking original UK Quad poster for “Batman Returns”. John Alvin’s dramatic design brings together the film’s three unforgettable central characters: Michael Keaton’s brooding Batman, Michelle Pfeiffer’s seductive and dangerous Catwoman, and Danny DeVito’s grotesque Penguin.

  The icy blue-and-black palette perfectly complements Burton’s gothic interpretation of Gotham City, while Catwoman’s vivid red lips form a compelling focal point. An army of penguins gathers beneath the principal portraits, providing a wonderfully surreal reference to the Penguin’s subterranean lair and sinister plans.

  Released in 1992, the film also stars Christopher Walken and features Danny Elfman’s atmospheric score. This 30 × 40-inch British cinema poster is presented rolled and remains in superb condition, retaining its impressive colours and exceptionally clean appearance. With John Alvin’s memorable design and tremendous visual impact, it makes a superb display piece for collectors of Batman, Tim Burton and classic comic book superhero cinema.

  Trivia: Danny DeVito was advised by friend Jack Nicholson, aware of his own financial success with Batman (1989), to take the role of the Penguin.

  Beetlejuice

  £325.00

  “See The Ghost With The Most”

  An original 1988 UK Quad movie poster from the bizarre Tim Burton dark horror comedy “Beetlejuice”. Designed by B.D.Fox Independent with Carl Ramsey finished artwork this is a really great looking film poster; incredible lifelike imagery with the green titles and cast credits finished with a luminous ink – it really is effective, adding a spooky vibe to the design. “Beetlejuice” is a wacky, twisted and wild, typical Tim Burton comedy in which recently deceased young couple Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) seek help from crazed spirit Betelgeuse – a.k.a. Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) – when they are unable to put up with the family that’s newly moved into their house. Presented in original ROLLED (as issued) high grade condition with colours that pop from the paper this super clean example represents a fantastic piece of cinema memorabilia for one of the best loved movies from the 1980s.

  Trivia: The skeleton head on top of Betelgeuse’s Merry-Go-Round is one of the first appearances of Jack Skellington, a skeleton figure which Tim Burton had been drawing since 1982, and would ultimately be used as the main character of The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), which Burton co-wrote and produced.
