German one sheet promotional movie poster for the 1966 film Batman (titled in Germany as Batman hält die Welt in Atem, or "Batman Keeps the World in Suspense").
The poster features bold, pop-art style typography and comic-style sound effects like "ZZiSCHH!" and "WHAMM!!".
Poster Translation & Content
The large text translates to:
"IRRE FLUGZEUGE, RASANTE AUTOS UND DAS SUPERHIRN VON BATMAN": "Crazy airplanes, fast cars, and the super-brain of Batman".
"IM GNADENLOSEN KAMPF GEGEN DIE UNTERWELT": "In a merciless fight against the underworld".
The bottom-left section lists production details, including the director Leslie H. Martinson and stars Adam West and Burt Ward.
Variations and Value
This specific "text-heavy" design is often referred to as a Style A or a promo-style poster.
Original 1966/67 Release: These are rare and highly sought after by collectors, with some linen-backed versions priced around $1,750.
1975 Re-release: There are also common re-release versions (marked "R75") that feature the same graphics but were printed for a later theatrical run. |
