Important Added Info: Note that this complete set of four lobby cards is one of FOURTEEN complete sets from 14 of the different chapters of the 1954 re-release of "Batman", which we are selling this week on eBay! We were consigned all of these fourteen sets (we were not consigned the chapter #1 set), and we are selling them all in one week, because not only do they all have different scenes, but the title cards are different on every chapter (not that common with serials). Also note that only 4 lobby cards were produced for this movie, and this is the complete set. It was quite common for studios to only make sets of four for short subjects or low budget movies, because it allowed them to print the sets at half the cost, and on shorts and low budget movies, they tried to save money any way they could (especially since it is likely few theaters even bothered to order lobby cards for these titles, since they were likely shown in addition to a better movie). Also note that the title card says "A COLUMBIA REPRINT" in the bottom center. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This is the original lobby card set from the 1954 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
