Why? If they are fakes why aren't they available to buy? Surely the only reason to go to all that trouble would be to rip people off with them no?

I suspect that there are many posters that 'dealers with any kind of reputation' haven't handled for a variety of reasons.

But, if Charlie can get some info from Suren Galadjian, the artist of the Wolverine posters for BLT Communications (the studio credited with the 'armed joker' style poster here: http://impawards.com/2008/dark_knight_ver12.html ), then maybe we'll get a definitive answer.
I have emailed BLT twice for info with no success.
Charlie has had better luck.
Let's see what happens.

Interesting. Would they be for the UK as it says 'Cinema' rather than 'Theatres'? Very nice either way.

The U.K. uses both terms, Cinema and Theatre. I have a few posters with "At your local Cinema" on.
It's more than a Hobby...

So the question is, does the the US ever use Cinema? I wouldn't have thought so personally.

It's a rare "variant" term here, even less commonly used than "film." Don't recall seeing it on a US poster.

You do hear it occasionally, like the cable channel "Cinemax" and "Cinemascore."

Does the U.S. Also use two spellings of "theatre" and "theater" on the posters?

Seems mixed.  It seems that "theatres" feature live shows & plays while "theater" is more common for movie venues.

I don't recall seeing any wide-release American movie poster using 'theatre' or 'cinema.'
There could be one or two out there, but I've yet to see it.

Just got this in. Single sided and obviously folded, so basically ruined but it seems to be a wider image showing more buildings and sparks. slightly different typographically too. It's about 1-sheet size, maybe a little slimmer. Not sure where it's from exactly although it came through someone who had a video shop so maybe that's a big clue! I have the Batman version too, but that's in even worse condition  :(

Was this poster machine folded and issued that way? Looks to be.

If so, why do you think it is ruined?
