“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 (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.

“Riddle me this, riddle me that, who’s afraid of the big, black bat?“
Riddle me this – how can you get the most colourful Batmobile yet in your living room? Simple, purchase this incredible, hand-numbered (#96/275) screen print from Matt Ferguson for Joel Schumacher’s 1995 comic book caper “Batman Forever”. Ferguson’s ongoing Batman and Batmobile series continues, and this time, he’s got Seal’s Kiss from a Rose blaring out of the Bat-stereo. “Batman Forever” is a visually spectacular movie combining a colourful cast, and a bonkers plot that while divisive, is undoubtedly wildly entertaining and whilst Jim Carrey is no Jack Nicholson, his Riddler steals the show from one-time Batman – Val KIlmer. Ferguson’s Batmobile series focuses on Bruce Wayne’s incredible rides from throughout Batman’s history, and he’s added a ton of fun details and Easter eggs from both the film and general Ferguson lore. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect with the day glo, neon coloured inks adding a real kinetic energy to the imagery and represents a truly eye-catching alternative movie poster from one of the most memorable Batman movies.
Trivia: This is the first movie to refer to Batman as “The Dark Knight”.

“Out of the darkness…comes the Knight.”
There were some outstanding posters produced for Christopher Nolan’s 2008 “Batman Begins” sequel “The Dark Knight” but this advance “Coming Soon” teaser takes the plaudits…a truly stunning looking film poster designed by Crew Creative Advertising. This International one sheet was printed in USA for use in United Kingdom and Europe and depicts the Batman silhouetted against a striking city scape and is the rarest of any paper for the movie. The photograph really doesn’t do this poster justice. Originally rolled (as issued) this beautiful unrestored example displays and presents to magnificent effect and represents a hugely collectable item of modern original movie memorabilia from a truly outstanding film franchise and an icon of modern pop culture…“The night is darkest before the dawn.”
Trivia: In Sir Michael Caine‘s opinion, Heath Ledger beat the odds and topped Jack Nicholson‘s Joker from Batman (1989): “Jack was like a clown figure, benign but wicked, maybe a killer old uncle. He could be funny and make you laugh. Heath’s gone in a completely different direction to Jack, he’s like a really scary psychopath. He’s a lovely guy and his Joker is going to be a hell of a revelation in this picture.” Caine bases this belief on a scene where The Joker pays a visit to Bruce Wayne’s penthouse. He’d never met Ledger before, so when Ledger arrived and performed, he gave Caine such a fright, he forgot his lines.
