A hand-drawn Batman (Michael Keaton) costume design from the production of Tim Burton's superhero film Batman. Created by Academy Award®-nominated costume designer Bob Ringwood, the large artwork shows a front view of the Caped Crusader's Batsuit, exhibiting a defined muscular physique, angular armour plating, and a grill-like abdominal section.

The artwork comprises layered printed pieces adhered to a large sheet of thick card, with black marker applied to add definition, and a finer black pen used for outlining. The chest emblem and utility belt are rendered in yellow, and Ringwood's signature is situated under the right boot.

This design was hanging on a studio wall when Batman co-creator Bob Kane visited the set of Burton's sequel Batman Returns. Kane has written a personalised message addressed to Ringwood, signed the artwork, and dated his signature "'91". Pin holes are present in each corner, and the artwork displays signs of light wear, including some minor marks and peeling on the left side of the belt. Dimensions: 73.5 cm x 37.5 cm (29" x 14 3/4")
