  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.

  Ed Wood Presents The Worst Movies Ever Made

  £150.00

  “Guaranteed to FRIGHTEN !”

  A beautiful film festival poster from the 1990’s featuring six of the wackiest, poorly made and most bizarre films ever made…“The Bride of the Beast / Night of the Ghouls / Plan 9 From Outer Space / Glen or Glenda / Jail Bait / Bride of the Monster” Each equally ‘bad’ in one way or another yet all had one thing in common, they were by one man; legendary ‘B’ movie making maestro Edward D. Wood Jr. Wood despite a poor reception (and that’s being kind) for his films when originally released during the 50’s & 60’s has gone on to achieve cult status amongst movie fans with paper from any of his films highly sought after and much prized. This collectability has extended to the film festival posters which celebrated his much loved ‘masterpieces’. The original UK quad example offered here is for “Ed Wood Presents The Worst Movies Ever Made” a British festival from the 1990’s and is one of the best looking posters available, featuring classic scenes from six of his movies with images that appear to have hand finished colour touches.  A very cool looking, great designed colourful poster that is extremely scarce. Originally rolled (as issued) this near faultless example is a fantastic find and represents a fine and incredibly rare example very collectable original movie memorabilia for one of Hollywood’s greatest character’s.

  Trivia: The budget of Tim Burton’s biopic Ed Wood (1994) was “more than one hundred times greater than every Ed Wood budget combined”
