Collectible Time #82: Gary Shipman Michael Keaton/Batman Prints

Before becoming the main villain in "RoboCop '14" and the upcoming "Spider-man: Homecoming", as well as scrutinizing himself in the Oscar-winning "Birdman", Michael Keaton began a new phase of Batmania in Tim Burton's 1989 Caped Crusader blockbuster and further cemented it in the 1991 sequel.

Acclaimed artist, Gary Shipman, has fashioned two, terrific 11" x 17" tributes to Keaton's incarnation, which I've added to my collection.
