People are being sarcastic about liking this right? I've seen this same image a ton over the years on promo stuff.

Hopefully my sarcasm detector is off Kram :P

This wasn't what I had in mind when I signed up for this commission, but that's the risk you take when you ask for those. Waiting to see it in person before issuing judgment. If the coalstrokes come across on the screenprint, all may be forgiven.

I think it looks fantastic. And as is the case with most posters... it will look even better in person. Phillips has plenty of skill. Nice work on this one.

Batman does sadly have a "Is that a spider in the corner over there?" kinda look on his face. Though I think someone explained why they are both looking in the direction tehy are looking it.

Still it seems a bit...as Colonel Hound said: a bit disjointed.

The movie really did have one of the better marketing/viral campaigns in recent memory.

While i agree originality is a bit lacking. I will say the lack of Mondo being able to get likeness rights, nothing to rival this print in 24x36 screen print form (some may like Jocks but not me), and the level of sheer detail in hand drawing this makes this the best movie print out there for this film.

Maybe Mondo's Batman show will change that? We'll see. In the meantime i can't wait to get my reg.

Or this one, but both are equally amazing in concept and execution.

This was my favorite and on my wall until I did away with nearly all normal poster in favor of art prints.

Agreed, wonka. Agreed. :pint:

I don't believe they've been printed.
Because it's the print we deserve, but not the one we need right now. So we'll hunt it.

Let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet.

Here are some close up pics of the OG. Note that all of these pics are from an IPhone 4.
