This original 1989 Egyptian release poster for Tim Burton’s Batman is a striking example of Egypt’s unique movie poster tradition. Illustrated by Samy, it features Michael Keaton in full bat-suit, standing in bold heroism against a hand-rendered backdrop, with Arabic text announcing the starring roles of Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Unlike the sleek Hollywood studio posters, Samy’s version emphasizes painterly detail and local design aesthetics, transforming Gotham’s dark knight into an icon for Egyptian audiences.
Batman (1989) was a landmark in superhero cinema, blending Burton’s gothic vision with Danny Elfman’s unforgettable score. Starring Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson in his legendary turn as the Joker, the film redefined the comic book genre for a new era and became one of the highest-grossing movies of its time. Its release marked a cultural phenomenon, reviving Batman for modern audiences and cementing the character’s place on the global stage.
Egypt’s film poster industry has a storied past rooted in stone lithography and hand-painted artistry. Even into the late 1980s, when offset printing had long since replaced lithography elsewhere, Egyptian posters often retained a painterly quality that made each design distinct. Samy’s Batman is part of that tradition: a collectible artifact that merges Hollywood blockbuster culture with Egypt’s enduring legacy of poster craftsmanship.
