There is this theatrical poster, which would make an awesome steelbook. Although a variant of it is available on the HDZ SL.

Eww. I don't like that one at all. The only other time I saw that I think was on something from Cinemuseum.

I never saw that poster at any of the theatres in Toronto in 1989.

I'm not sure where it was shown, perhaps not in the US. The classic black and yellow bat logo is obviously the best known poster, but it's been used and everywhere for the last 33yrs lol

No, the poster CMA are looking to use is this one.. Which is also a theatrical poster fyi, but I'd perhaps assume a later anniversary release rather than an initial 1989 release one.

That's a nice looking poster.

I was wrong about CMA then. I remember now that the first poster you put up I think was part of the art used on a set of the first 4 Batman movie steelbooks or one of the slips but I don't remember from who.

It was HDzeta release was used on the slip not the steelbook itself

Yep, that's the one.

Both this, & Returns, have spot gloss steels. Gloss undercoat, coming through on all the text and the car blueprint lines.

Aside from the design, the finish is quite nice in hand. Returns sucks all over, I'm sending mine back. Batman is passable, it'd be much better if both the slip and steel were brighter though.

Another unboxing, extremely dark slip and steelbook...

I don't understand the hate, i think these are great for what they are, nice addition to the collection!

This isn't a theatrical poster, lol
I photoshopped this together from several different sources ages ago and uploaded it to my deviantart page.
That's not even an actual photo of Keaton in costume there, that's a photo of the hot toys figure.

Okay, well it's a spin on it then. It's very hard to pinpoint what is official or not these days, particularly for old films. The actual theatrical poster must be the version that's on the hdzeta lenti slip, which is essentially the same anyway.

Artwork is BORING!

As far as I know, It was actually never used, officially. Fell more in line with poster concept art than fully official poster. It's all academic anyhow.
