Batmobile "poster" from Budget Cars

Post by batbelfry »

Stumbled across this article that showed "poster prints" that BudgetDirect Car insurance created...

here's a direct link to what they're calling the full sized version of the Batmobile pic:

I have a thread about all the vehicles here:

And I know Alex Ross did the artwork for the Polar Lights model kit, and it looks just like this, so perhaps it's Ross?

Sorry, I didn't realize that thread was the same stuff. Perhaps the mods can close this one?

Nah...it's ok. Not sure it mentions the posters, but it's certainly the same artwork

I knew you'd know Andy lol. But here's Ross's work on the aforementioned kit. You can see how I may have thought that.

It’s a great piece, but the detail on Robin isn’t much higher than something on a prelim (not that it’s a bad thing the focus is the car) but Ross wouldn’t leave something like that unfinished.

Just my opinion.
