  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.
