Batman: The Movie (1966) 26 october
The Dynamic Duo faces four super-villains who plan to hold the world for ransom with the help of a secret invention that instantly dehydrates people.

This is the Batman poster from back in the 1960's, i like this one because i view batman as a great hero as a child and even now, though he may be a fictional character. This poster is used to advertise the movie Batman through out the world as this one is from Italy. The image of Batman and Robin in bright colours to capture the viewers and the bold title to tell them what they are advertising and that is "the movie BATMAN" and by adding the texts at the top making the viewer feel like that he/she needs to see it.
If it was used today it would be seen as a parody to the Batman movies today even though this is one of the originals, some would brush it off as a fake because they do not know that these were one of the classic batman posters back in the day. To compare this batman to the modern day batman is showing how much of the actors now a days have worked on their body to make it like the real Comic/Cartoon batman including the armour painted in all black but to the old batman his body is not really that similar to the batman in the comics and cartoons even the colour of the costume.

"We Can Do It!" is an American wartime propaganda poster used in 1943 produced by J. Howard Miller for Westinghouse Electric as an inspirational image or goal to boost workers self esteem morale. The poster is generally thought to be based on a black-and-white wire service photograph taken of a Michigan factory worker that goes by the name Geraldine Hoff. The poster was seen very little during World War II. It was rediscovered in the early 1980s and widely reproduced in many forms, often called "We Can Do It!" but also called "Rosie the Riveter" after the iconic figure of a strong female war production worker. The "We Can Do It!" image was used to promote feminism and other political issues beginning in the 1980s. The image made the cover of the Smithsonian magazine in 1994 and was fashioned into a US first-class mail stamp in 1999. It was incorporated in 2008 into campaign materials for several American politicians, and was reworked by an artist in 2010 to celebrate the first woman becoming prime minster of Australia. The poster is one of the ten most-requested images at the National Archives and Records Administration.

"Keep Calm and Carry On" is a motivational poster made by the British government in 1939, several months before the beginning of the second World War, used to raise the morale of the british public in the aftermath of widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities. This poster is still being used but now modern day society has changed the meaning in to other meanings, thus being used to humour many other people instead of trying to motivate people for upcoming hard times. I think this because there are many others like the original now a days that it is being used for the wrong purpose instead of giving people the right idea of what it really was meant for.
