There is no doubting the cinematic and cultural influence of Batman and Matt Reeves’ latest offering “The Batman” sees Robert Pattinson don the cowl and it looks as if the Dark Knight franchise is in good hands. All indications point to a stylish new chapter for DC’s iconic comic book hero. Creative arts agency BOND have designed a truly stunning Advance UK quad film poster for the worldwide marketing campaign. This is the very first poster released for this 2022 release. Originally rolled (as issued), this totally unrestored example presents and displays to excellent effect with only minimal handling wear and represents a hugely collectable and totally cool piece of movie memorabilia for one of popular culture’s most recognised figures.
Trivia: The Batmobile in this film is a customised muscle car. This draws influence from the 1970s “Batman” comics by Neal Adams, where the Batmobile was a fairly normal-looking car that Batman drove for stealth purposes.

“The Batman“ Director Matt Reeves wrote the script with Robert Pattinson in mind, not even knowing if he would ever want to be in the movie. After watching Pattinson’s performances and becoming captivated by him, Reeves started to imagine Pattinson in the role at a certain point as he was writing. Pattinson was Reeves top choice because he was “always that version of what I saw in the page. I think of Bruce Wayne as this recluse rockstar in a decaying manor. There’s this part of me that so saw Rob [Pattinson] as that & I had no idea that he would be interested in playing the role at all. I thought what if Rob doesn’t want to play Batman? This would be a disaster”. But Reeves didn’t know that at the same time, Pattinson became fixated on the role of Batman without even knowing the status of the project. Around that time, Pattinson and The Batman producer Dylan Clark had a general meeting about potential collaborations, with no specific project in mind. Clark: “We’re talking about 20 different things. And then he [Pattinson] starts kind of saying, ‘So what’s going on with Batman?'”. After Reeves finished the script 8 months later, he finally met with Pattinson: “I had to kind of try to imagine what he’d written, and I hadn’t even read the script. I’d come with this pad full of notes.”
