An original US one-sheet poster for Tim Burton’s Batman (1989), starring Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson in his unforgettable performance as the Joker. One of the most instantly recognisable movie posters of the 1980s, this wonderfully minimalist design dispenses with characters, credits and even the film’s title, allowing the iconic gold-and-black Batman emblem to take centre stage.
Designed by Bill Garland, the poster’s striking simplicity was a key part of the enormous marketing campaign that surrounded the film’s release. Batman became a cultural phenomenon in the summer of 1989, helping to redefine the superhero movie and presenting a darker, more atmospheric vision of Gotham City than audiences had previously seen on the big screen. Burton’s distinctive direction, Anton Furst’s extraordinary production design and Danny Elfman’s celebrated score helped establish a visual and musical identity that continues to influence interpretations of Batman today.
The poster is rolled and in good condition.
