Link to previous discussion on the Joker poster, the signs seem to point to it being fake - http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/topic,13094.msg233122.html#msg233122

Sorry Tob, please move to combine threads if necessary. I guess I was just confused as to why an auction house like Heritage would have these listed. Maybe they are legit posters, just not Quads?

Sorry, was just posting that link for context. I wonder if they’re just not aware - perhaps email them to ask provenance and mention your/our suspicions on authenticity?

I have emailed them to let them know.

I don't know if they make these kinds of errors often, if it is an error, and I know they're not the first to let something slip through.

The problem occurs when a trusted and respected source has inaccuracies that might then be then viewed as fact.

No reply from Heritage but nice to see they've done the right thing and withdrawn the posters from their auction.

Yep, I agree. Well done for brining it to their attention and well done to HA for withdrawing them

They were a pair of landscape posters (which they called Quads) which feature the subway artwork shrunk down. One featuring the Joker with the same image as the B1 and the other with Batman on the Batpod.
