Mondo Batman: The Animated Series / New Batman Adventures Posters

WHOO! They've arrived!

In September, Mondo released 2 beautiful 18x24 Batman posters designed by Dave Perillo that are based on the 90s Batman: The Animated Series and the New Batman Adventures. I haven't purchased posters from Mondo since Batman's 75th anniversary, but I really loved these for the nostalgia and they're just straight up gorgeous so I thought I'd take a look.

From my understanding, Mondo poster prints are almost always limited. These particular posters were limited to 225 each. You can order their prints online, but they sell out almost immediately, as soon as they go on sale. When they first announced the prints, their blog read that they would be announcing the sale release at a random time the next day on Twitter. (Just another reason why everybody should be on Twitter!)

To increase my chances of buying the prints, I set up mobile notifications for the Mondo Twitter page. This alerts you via a push notification on your phone every single time the Twitter page posts something new. If you're interested in knowing how to do this for future reference, make sure your phone number is added to your Twitter profile, navigate to the page you want to follow, click the settings gear next to the "Follow"/"Following" button, and select "Turn on mobile notifications." You can turn them off at any time.

I didn't have the volume on all the way on my phone since I was at work, but I had my phone on vibrate and right in front of my body (in front of my keyboard) all morning waiting for the right moment. I got lucky and saw the notification on my phone as soon as Mondo posted! I had the sale window open ahead of time as well so all I had to do was refresh, add to cart, and check out as quickly as possible. 🙌  I was in luck!

They finally arrived last week. Look at these beauties.


I thought about buying only the BTAS poster because I prefer the BTAS character design a bit more, but I'm SO glad I purchased both. I can't wait to frame and hang these... somewhere in the house. I haven't exactly figured out where yet since our decor is kind of all over the place (we need help with our interior decorating).

I love the art style and I adore the sometimes subtle variances between the 2 posters, so very in line with the different styles from Batman: The Animated Series and the New Batman Adventures. I also really enjoy that they include so many obscure characters that appeared throughout the series.

How many of the characters can you name? Which poster is your favorite? Which characters on the posters are your favorites?
