That timed edition looks pretty rough, the lettering looks really muddied up.
You got a variant for sale?

Do you really need to see his lips to tell that it's batman?
I'm bitching about looking at something half assed or incomplete. For the amount of money I payed also,in comparison to the people who got variants. I didn't care not having it signed, different color, different size, whatever. But an incomplete version. You have to get within a foot of the thing to see barely. Everyone got ripped off IMO.
It doesn't look halfassed or incomplete.
It looks exactly like the close-up photos of the SDCC edition.
I wasn't expecting A masterpiece. It is from Mondo after all.
Even the Stouts aren't amazingly executed when it comes to the printing quality.

I like the print.
I loved te movie, so I'm happy to have this.
Besides, it was only $40!
I'm sure someone on this forum would take it off your hands for the cost you paid.

Because the print doesn't have that much detail staying with a larger print is better for ollys style. Why do you think ollys 24x36 have better color separation.

Smaller jpeg = compressed pixels = crappy print if there's not a lot of detail.

Larger print = allows pixels to expand, creating better image.

^I'm not sure I can agree with that.^
If you lack details (take a smaller video resolution), doesn't it look better the smaller you view it and more harsh the bigger you try to expand it?

Didn't his Simpsons print fall the same faith?

I have my best friend and Wife who does graphic design. They all agree moving the image to a smaller print compresses the image, causing this effect where the print is too dark in all areas.

I work in Radiology and it goes the same way. Smaller x-rays prints are better for detail better black and whites. Large film is better for shades of Gray (ie this batman print is not detailed)

Im not saying I know everything, but I just apply what I know in my job and from people who actually work in the graphic design field.

Hard to say since there is no 24x36 Simpsons poster, but yeah, they're in the same style and I hope it's not a surprise to anyone if these 2 are kind of similar.

Exactly
We can all agree that this print has NO detail or very little, thats why its better viewed in larger format.

Take a piece of paper you spill a blotch of ink it spreads and the ink gets lighter in certain areas...you spill it in a concentrated circle...the ink is darker no place for it to spread.

Yeah I agree, I had the simpsons print..imo...that print was HORRBILE print wise. Style is the same like you said, but print wise..I wouldn't even pay $15 for that simpsons print.

Its too bad, it seems like the batman print fell to the same faith. Not to be mean, but I wouldn't even pay $50 for this batman print.

I actually like the image. The 'grain' of the image adds to it.
If you ran into batman in a dark alley, he wouldn't look crisp and sharp.

As far as bigger being more crisp, maybe so... However, when using photoshop you just have to change the pixels when going smaller to make it remain crisp.

Mine arrived today, but the golden ticket was missing. Print looks much better in person, in my opinion.
