The original Batman like you’ve never seen him before. While most of the publicity stills released by 20th Century Fox upon the Caped Crusader’s 1966 debut depicts him in comic-book colored “Swingin’ Sixties” playful scenarios, this example is radically different. 1965 would be the year before for the tv show debut as well as the first Batman debut movie. Foreshadowing the more serious cinematic interpretations that began in the late 80’s and 1990s, this 1965 shot shows Adam West’s Batman ready to take on the Dark Knight's role as we commonly know it today. The black and white photo uses light and shadow to evoke a dramatic gravity the way the very first movie chose not to portray. Certainly, one of the more iconic images from the first and original movie that would ultimately become arguably the greatest superhero known. The Type 1 9” x 7” image has several markings and notations from all of the various outlets that used the copy for their respective stories. The "ABS Photo Division stamp is dated 12/30/1965 right before the new year rang in and the 1966 series debut. The image has been encapsulated and graded a Type 1 Authentic by PSA/DNA.
