Description

The Bat Whispers (Atlantic, R-1930s). One Sheet (27" X 41").
This film would be one of only a handful of 1930 features shot in widescreen, with a compositional emphasis on forced perspective and inky shadow play. Bob Kane has often cited this film as his primary inspiration for the comic character of Batman. The poster has pinholes in the corners and a bite out of the upper white border. There is fold separation in the vertical fold. Folded, Fine.
