Description

1989 Topps Batman Batman Design Concept #199 Series 2 (EX 5) Delve into the artistic origins of the Dark Knight with the 1989 Topps Batman Batman Design Concept #199! This fascinating Series 2 card showcases the beautiful, atmospheric design concept art created by legendary costume designer Bob Ringwood for the 1989 film. The illustration captures a brooding, cinematic look at Batman standing before a giant full moon while bats fly overhead—a visual blueprint that helped define the dark, gothic atmosphere of Tim Burton's Gotham City. It is a brilliant addition for collectors who appreciate behind-the-scenes filmmaking history and the visual evolution of DC Comics' most famous detective. The card shows light, honest handling wear. The yellow borders show a few minute touches along the edges, and the corners show mild soft rounding at the tips. Centering is favored toward the lower right side on the front banner. The dark, atmospheric reverse side features the synopsis text clearly with some minor edge wear and light surface fiber scuffing, but no creases or wrinkles are present. Grade Estimate: Excellent (EX 5)
