A few things are almost always true when it comes to Batman. He’s Bruce Wayne, a billionaire playboy who lost his parents in a tragic accident and now uses his money and resources to battle crime in Gotham City. That’s almost always a given. Beyond that, things change here and there. The villain, for one. The love interest, for another. And, of course, the Batsuit.
With the release of basically any new Batman show, movie, or comic, the artist behind the work gives Batman a new Batsuit. Again, there are pieces of these that are always the same, but within that framework, there are variations. And every single Batman fan has their own favorite.
But how to enjoy them all? Enter artist Adam Spizak and “The Crusader Collection,” a 10-poster collection of familiar Batsuits from all the major films that’s being released on Thursday, January 5. But, instead of giving us just the Batsuit, Spizak focuses just on the chest. And, when you look at them, you realize it’s the chest that really makes Batman Batman.
That’s a lot of Bat-chest, isn’t it? But we love it.
All the information on the posters is here, but we’ll recap. Each Bat-poster measures 16 x 24 inches and is in an edition of 75. They cost $45 each. You can order any of them individually or in one of three sets, which gives you a little discount.
There’s the “Retro Series” set, which includes Batman 1966 and all four Tim Burton films. Those are $205 for the five. There’s the “Nolan Series” of three, which is $125 for the set, and then there’s the “New Era Series” of Justice League and The Batman. Those are $85.
The posters go on sale Thursday, January 5, at noon ET at Bottleneckgallery.com. Which is your favorite?
