Batman The 1989 Movie Adaptation Issue #1 1989 Turkish Joker Comic Turkey

Batman – The 1989 Movie Adaptation (Turkish Newspaper Edition) – Güneş Gazetesi, 1989 – Issue #1

Description:

This is a Turkish-language Batman comic published in 1989 by Güneş Gazetesi as a free newspaper supplement, released in conjunction with the theatrical success of Tim Burton’s Batman film. The comic is an adaptation of the movie and corresponds to the original series titled “Batman: The 1989 Movie Adaptation.”

A total of two issues were published in this promotional series, and this copy represents Issue #1. The cover prominently features Batman and the Joker, with particular emphasis on the Joker, highlighting the character’s iconic and central role in the film adaptation.

Produced as a newspaper giveaway, this edition reflects the early efforts to market major Hollywood blockbusters to Turkish audiences through print media promotions. Due to its limited distribution method and ephemeral nature, surviving copies are relatively hard to find today, especially in collectible condition.

The comic retains its original Turkish-language content and stands as an interesting crossover between cinema history and comic publishing in Türkiye during the late 1980s, making it appealing to both Batman collectors and those interested in film-related promotional comics.
