Painting of The Penguin surrounded by a bunch of penguins by director Tim Burton for Batman Returns. Love the moody vibe on this piece, and the touch of red on his top hat.

Photos of the Batman Returns Crew T-Shirt, made for and worn by the film's production crew, and featuring artwork of Batman using his glider cape drawn by Director Tim Burton. This is genuinely one of the coolest crew shirts I have seen in a long time.
The original Teaser Poster for Batman Forever, featuring the film's logo and it's release date. Simple, effective, and Iconic, and something all 4 Bat films did.
Made a quick little Supercut of (Most of) the Michael Keaton Batman Footage from

Photo of The Joker's Van from the set of Batman (1989), with the Same Joker logo seen on the leather jackets worn by his Goons. This Van would get some toys in the form of some die cast cars by Ertl, and as an action figure vehicle from Toy Biz's Batman (1989) Figure line.

Per Kevin smith on Fatman Beyond, he heard from the son of Michael Uslan, Executive Producer on the Batman movies since Batman 1989, that if Flash does well WB will move forward w/ Batman Beyond staring Michael Keaton, & Flash is underperforming at the Box office RN.
My Reaction:
Ending Shots from Batman (1989), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin. All 4 of these are Iconic. I think Batman 1989's is my favorite of the bunch.

The original Teaser Poster For Batman (1989), with the film's Iconic Logo. A Legendary poster for a Legendary film, often touted as "Film of the Decade" in Post release & home video release Marketing for the film.
The Villains from the Batman OnStar TV Ads, The Joker, The Penguin, and The Riddler. All 3 looking Very different (and more comic accurate) from their Burton/Schumacher Originals/Counterparts.
Statue of Michael Keaton's Batman (next to a comic esq Superman) part of a display in a Warner Bros. Studio Store Location in located in Braintree, MA. Circa 1993. I know other WB Stores had similar displays w/ a Comic Batman but this is one of the few i've seen w/ a movie Batman
Here's a few behind the scenes photos of a Matte Painting of Gotham City from Batman (1989) done by Jean Pierre Trevor. This Matte Painting is stunning!
Promotional/Publicity Photos of Chris O'Donnell as Robin from Batman Forever, with him striking more f a fighting pose for the 2nd one. These show off some of the details of the suit but also highlights the more muted reds, greens, and golds they chose for his Robin suit.
Cover art to the Batman: The 1989 Movie Adaptation Deluxe Edition, with the iconic Cover art by Jerry Ordway from the graphic novel style release used. This Rerelease of the 1989 comic adaptation was released in 2019 for the film's 30th anniversary
Batman Returns Display Standee, with The Bat, The Cat, and The Penguin and a bit of Gotham and the moon in the background, and is largely based off the 2nd poster for the film.
Promotional/Publicity Photo from Batman (1989), with Michael Keaton's Batman holding the Spring-Action Reel/Grapple Gun. I dig how the Yellow of the Chest Emblem really POPS in this photo.
Production Photo from Batman 1989, Showing The Joker in what would be his Final moments before his Defeat/Death. "Sometimes I just Kill myself! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
Thread: Today Hot Toys announced a 1/6 Scale Burtonverse Batmobile to go with their 1/6 Batman Figures. Insanely detailed/movie accurate, lights up, a fully detailed interior, & has everything from the films like the Jack on the bottom & the Machine Guns! This piece is beautiful
Here's the original Printers Proof poster for the Oswald Cobblepot Mayoral Campaign Poster from Batman Returns. This poster, plastered all around Gotham during Oswald's mayoral Campaign, has art of The Penguin looking a little closer to his comic counterpart.
Behind The Scenes Photo from Batman (1989) with Director Tim Burton. infamous Producer Jon Peters, Jack Nicholson as The Joker, and Michael Keaton(?) as Batman. This photo is a little low res so I'm not 1000% sure if that's Keaton or one of his Doubles.
Behind the Scenes Photo from Batman Returns with Michael Keaton's Batman shaking hands with Batman "Co-Creator" Bob Kane. I dig the contrast between the Dark colors of the batsuit and the bright white of Bob's Coat here.
Here's the original Wanted Flyer for Jack Napier from Batman (1989). It mentions is Place of Birth as Brooklyn, NY. Also states his Date of Birth as 10/04/64, which I don't think make sense continuity wise but then again in the film you only see this flyer for a few seconds.
Production Photo from Batman (1989), featuring a long shot of The Batmobile with the cockpit open (Feat. Vicki Vale and Batman). Such an awesome and iconic ride.
Here's a Brazilian Poster for Batman Returns, where the film was known as "Batman: O Retorno", and uses the Theatrical Poster art. I think I prefer this art to the more famous poster art of the 3 heads floating in a black void.
Promotional/Publicity Photo from Batman Forever with Val Kilmer's Batman and Nicole Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridian. This photo gives off big romance cover vibes (all the ones in this set do but this one especially), just replace Fabio with Batman.
Found something interesting, recently the Burton/Schumacher Batman Films got added to Amazon Prime Video in the US (IDK other regions), and curiously Batman (1989) on Prime uses the original color grading & not the 2019 Remaster Color grading. Prime on the left, Max on the Right
Promotional/Publicity Photo of Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman with her Claws out, from Batman Returns. Always thought the powder white face and deep red lipsticks she had in these promo photos was always such a cool look.

@Joe_Quinones
.This is personally one of my favorite Designs for Two-Face.

Close up photos of the Marquee, Bezel, and Control Panel for Atari's Batman (1989) Arcade Game, featuring a ton of Photos from the film as well as it's iconic logo on the control panel. I think this game is very underrated and would love to see it show up on consoles someday.
