Someone should take it over.

Yes and yes.

As for this Joker poster .. Ive always been under the impression that only banners and the German posters had this artwork available. The only bit of proof that made me doubt that was the picture of the wildings posted up in the other thread. But given all of the recent comparisons in here I would venture a guess that Mel is accurate as far as this MG/HG style poster is concerned.

But if you compare the "wilding" posters to these HG/MG posters they are totally different as well. Maybe someone can post a side by side of the wilding and the MG/HG posters. If there was to be a legit one I would compare it to the wilding seeing how it has the most likely-hood of being legitimate.

Here is the MovieGoods poster (left) and the wildings on the right (lower right is reoriented wilding from the upper right pic). Unfortunately, the color of the wilding picture appears to be blue-shifted but I noticed:

- The MG poster is significantly cropped on the right and left (but the bus shelter is also cropped compared to the wilding too). Look to the right of his right hand and you'll see more sparks along the right of the wilding.
- The vest appears to be more prominent on the wilding
- The wilding says "in theaters and IMAX"

Bus shelter compared to wildings:

Bus Shelter v. MovieGoods DS - the MGoods poster clearly is grainier, darker, and lacks the finer details and coloration of the vest:

You cant really compare a wilding to a bus shelter to a banner to a one sheet, they are all going to be taken from the same digitial image, but the cropping is going to be different and certainly from a different print run when settings are going to be tweaked.

Hey, this is a bit of a twist in this thread but for a 13 year old girl you know an awful lot about posters.

I went back and re-read Kev's authentication of the Style B on MPA. Whoever made the fake DS Style Bs probably made these "Style G" repros as well. It's the same pattern: The repros are much darker and have lost detail and subtlety.

Repros on left:

I still have yet to pull mine for pics.
I want to see how green the vest is.
The cropping on the bus shelter looks identical to the one sheet, doesn't it?

Not that it matters all that much, but that 'bus shelter' sure looks like a 'banner' to me...

I noticed that also, Archie, but you summed it all up pretty well.

Good work, Mel. A few good theories and the theory about the style G being done by the the same guy as the repro mentioned sounds reasonable, based on the similarities.

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #114 on:** June 06, 2012, 05:38:37 AM »

Yes, I guess it is a banner. I called it a bus shelter because it came up in the MPF topic "Dark Knight Bus Shelter".

That picture of the banner is Jon's. I read through all the old MPF posts on this poster and several posters said this image was used only on the "international banner."

My apologies for not posting much on here, a few people brought this thread to my attention, an thought I would post. Archie is correct, that image is of my domestic theatrical vinyl banner, it isn't a bus shelter poster. The banner was printed on very thick vinyl with an opening at the top and bottom for the wooden dowels to slide in and out, with each dowel having a tiny ring on each end to make it easier for theaters to display. This is the image I took of mine a while ago to show people what it looked like, size is 5 feet wide by 8 feet tall. To give it some scale, I believe you can see my office door frame to the right which is a 7 foot door. It's quite a large piece, certainly gets a person's attention. Hope all is well with everyone here too.

They are quite sanctimonious nowadays. They CLAIM they have licenses for all their reprints and never mislabel their wares. Check out these posts from another forum:

I think that they also made a 6x9 version as well. I'll have to check mine to make sure...

That would be nice but its been what three years since someone put something new up?

Why is that?...Far too many egos?... maybe some conflicts of interest as well? ...Dont wanna piss off a bootlegging buddy?

Seems strange to me that that just died like that.

It was never meant to be jumpin',Zorba.There's only so many authentications you can do.Just meant to reference the info.
It's doing what it was created for...just being there.

As far as nothing new up,I don't see any of the reasons you mentioned being a factor.Maybe some could be afraid they don't have enough knowledge to do a good job.Afraid of public ridicule.Possibly cuz Mel has a site now they figure I don't need to.
But really,I think money would be the biggest issue.Depending on what you're authenticating...could be costly.

I was able to ask 2 sources-two different theatre chain employees who are involved with marketing.

Both claimed NOT to have seen a one sheet size for this particular style.

I thought if anyone would have it would have been either one of these two.

They both had all other styles on hand including the "why so serious".

ps-no I am unable to get any...
