What's the fakest?

The fake swords?

The big fake wrench?

Or the fake ocean?

Batman comes to Benson, North Carolina

The Benton Card Company in Benson, North Carolina, printed a lot of mini-posters, called heralds I think, up through the Sixties. They had an exclusive deal with AIP and printed all sorts of stuff for them, plugging all those monster and juvenile delinquent flicks. While posters printed by the National Screen Service were four-color, Benton's were usually just two.

Above is Benton's poster for the 1966 Batman movie.

The Penguin vs. The Rat Pack

The Penguin's submarine was also used in the Frank Sinatra picture Assault On A Queen. Both were from 1966. Wonder which was done first?
