Need your help guys,

I'm thinking of printing three posters from the most iconic Batman covers I can find.

Preferebly from the 70's to modern age.

You may thank me by quietly leaving eighty internets on my doorstep in a brown paper bag.

Lol, I might consider a Y1.

I thought about The Killing Joke and TMWL, but I really want to stay away from headshots.
Or would three nice headshots look great next to eachother?
Batman-Joker-and??

Anyone recommend some colourfull ones.

 

[Superhobo]

Batman-Joker-and

Crazy Quilt.

 

[BubbaGump]

Batman-Joker-and Two-Face.

Maybe Kelley Jone's Two-Face cover from Batman 257?

 

[Nepenthes]

maybe not so iconic but I like these

the Grand Comic Database is good for looking through covers. Click on 'gallery', not the title http://www.comics.org/search.lasso?...rk+knight&type=title&sort=alpha&Submit=Search

The stuff from the Adams era such as this kicks my arse, and is what I consider the highest point of Batman art.
I'm surprised people aren't posting more fom this time. Must be an age thing.

Definitely an age thing (though I'm pretty young and I like looking at the old classics--Adams, Finger, Infantino, Giordano).

A lot of newer fans are drawn into more modern comics (they're easily accessible and fairly talked about), especially with the new movies out.

Here's some Rogers stuff:

Here's some Rogers stuff:

I havnt seen that in ages, totally forgot it existed! I wish i could print a copy of this without all the type. That would be a poster fer sure.



Most new fans can gather a pretty decent knowledge of the modern classics fairly quickly but going back to the 70's or even 80's requires a little more effort and interest. You actually have to look for this stuff. Which is why sometimes it seems like everyone's favourite batman artists are Jim Lee, Tim Sale, Brian bolland and David McKean etc etc.

Fabulous cover. I'm also quite fond of the original.

I know 70s and later were specified, but some older favorites of mine.

And a more modern one.

I' ve settled on these two:

Just 1 more to go.
