    Another Batman question...

    My good buddy Falcon sent me a mini 1966 Batman Movie Poster for Xmas this year. It has credits in English and Spanish, and had Batman in a RED costume. Did I miss something? Red??

    No, just a printer's error or a mis-translation due to language....there's a Superman poster from one of the old movie serials that has him in a red and green costume.

      Batman's suit was colored red in some countries' comics, I believe, so maybe they made the poster match the comic, or it could be what Anthony was talking about.

        In many countries back in the 1950's and 60's movies and TV shows were mostly loaned black and white prints.... leaving the interpretation of promotional material colour up to the local advertiser's imagination.

        This has been going on in some cases up to the early 70's

          This has nothing to do with the answer...which I think has already been
          covered...but the first thing I thought of when I read your post hardygirl
          is that intro with the funky spotlight stuff.

          I can't remember the exact coloring in that sequence, but I remember it
          being a bit surreal.

            ^^^ I'd have to get out my copy and check for sure, but I think its Blue for Bats and yellow for Robin.
