It's the print we deserve, but not the one we.. wait is he eating a sandwich?

But I have a feeling this may grow on me. Will try for the drop, but cant see me shelling out eBay prices if I miss.
Exactly. I am not feeling this at all. The Fortress print had an epic quality about it. I think if the T-rex, penny, etc. were a bit better but still. Nowhere near the Fortress print.

I thought that too after seeing the trailers... when I finally saw it I found it excruciatingly awful. Imagine an inept hybrid of Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and The Producers... Mel Brooks should get royalties.

Yeah that was a fun movie, and you are correct, beer and or herb is pretty much required.

This batcave is perfect. It feels like Batman:TAS, which is the best batman ever seen on television. It just screams that show.

This is quoting Justin from back in November 2011:
Ishmael told CBR that while Mondo plans to release more of the DC Universe's panoramic location designs in the future, DC fans can also expect a plethora of different poster layouts looking forward. "I want to do Oa, I want to do the Batcave. The Batcave is going to be really cool, with all the trophy stuff, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the penny and all the different suits and all the stuff that Batman's collected over the years," Ishmael said. "But we're going to straight poster posters. Kind of what we're doing with movies -- a poster, with titles and credit blocks. We're going to try to do that. If we do a 'Watchmen' poster, it'll be something like that. It'll kind of resemble a movie poster. We're not sure if we can do this, but the idea is to do a credit block using the creators [in the credits]."

And the ambitious plans don't stop there. A comic fan himself, Ishmael's list contains potential designs that are sure to appeal to comic fandom. "I want to get weird with it," he said. "If fans get into this and fans like it, I want to do stuff with Darkseid. I'm a huge [Jack] Kirby fan, so I'd love to do all the classic DC stuff. There's so much to play with over the whole history of it, it's going to be a crazy series. I would love to even get weird and do a poster with all the incarnations of Jimmy Olsen."

If anyone in the Austin area is going to the flat file thing tomorrow and wants to PB a Batcave for me, it would be very much appreciated.
