An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Batman, the 1966 Leslie H. Martinson DC Comics comic book superhero fantasy action adventure crime thriller ("Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin Together With All Their Fantastic Derring-Do and Their Dastardly Villains, too!"; "All New! Never before seen on TV!"; "For the first time on the motion picture screen in color!"; based on the Bob Kane/Bill Finger DC comic book) starring Adam West (in the title role as Batman/Bruce Wayne), Burt Ward (as Robin), "And The Gallery Of Dastardly Villains" Lee Meriwether ("former Miss America is considered just purr-fect in her role as Catwoman"), Cesar Romero (as The Joker), Burgess Meredith (as The Penguin), and Frank Gorshin (as The Riddler). Note that Romero refused to shave his mustache for his role, and it was simply colored white to match his makeup. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has something VERY UNUSUAL about it. What is that? The person who owned it had a home movie theater, and they had a large collection of one-sheets, and they would display them when they showed the movie, and they needed a way to protect the posters while they were being handled, and keep them from being damaged while on display. He came up with a solution that we have not seen before. He had a thin sheet of laminate plastic placed over the BACK of each one-sheet, BUT NOT ON THE FRONT (as is normally done when laminating the poster). If you have ever seen "laminated" posters, they are often covered with very thick plastic material on both sides. THE LAMINATE PLASTIC USED HERE IS A THIN MATERIAL. While we have never seen this before, it actually works well! The front of the poster is no different then it was, but the plastic on the back greatly helps protect the poster from tears or other defects (this is the same principle that was used decades ago when they would kraftback posters moving from theater to theater, and as with kraftbacking, the posters with this laminate plastic on the back CAN be folded as normal, as this poster was). WE DON'T KNOW HOW EASY OR HARD IT WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC FROM THE BACK (although there are a few where the plastic is separating, indicating it surely CAN be done), but the buyer of this poster will have two options. They can either keep the poster exactly as is, and if they display it, no one will even know about the plastic laminate on the back, or they can have a restorer remove it. Either way, DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT HAS THIS ON THE BACK (but NOT on the front). Condition: good. The poster has laminate plastic on the back only (see above: but NOT on the front). There is minor fold separation that was repaired with tape from the back. There is some marker writing at lower right that slightly bleeds through to the front. Learn More about condition grades
