2014 marks Batman‘s 75th anniversary. Over its near century-long existence, Batman has experienced so many stylistic changes, tonal shifts, friends, enemies, allies, villains, costumes, and more from its roots as a detective book to the campiness of the ’60s show to the dark film revival over the past decade. Through it all, there are many Batboys and Batgirls dedicated to Bruce Wayne and his countless attempts to protect Gotham from evil. Whether you’re a fan of the comics, the TV show, the cartoons, the films, or simply just like grown men dressing up as bats, Batman is one of the first characters that come to mind when somebody mentions superheroes.
To commemorate the franchise’s 75th anniversary, Mondo Gallery in Austin, TX has an exhibition running from now until November 15th entitled Batman 75. I absolutely love Mondo posters (as I’ve illustrated most recently with Mike Mitchell’s Marvel work), and the collection Mondo has curated for its Batman 75 show doesn’t disappoint. If you’re in Austin, I highly recommend checking out the show. However, if you’re unable to attend, I’ve included some of the posters being displayed at the show below. You can visit /Film for the full selection of posters.
