Description

These are NOT reproduced signatures. This is an original, stated 3rd draft script of BATMAN, dated February 29, 1988 that is SIGNED (hand autographed) by its 2 stars, Jack Nicholson (The Joker) and Michael Keaton (Batman).
I purchased this script on June 29th, 1998 at Butterfield & Butterfield Entertainment Memorabilia auction #6814B; it was lot #6121. I was a phone bidder at that auction (no internet back then!).
I am also including the original auction catalog (see photos) and invoice (personal info digitally hidden in photo) that I received/paid, as complete documentation.
This script is 112 pages long. Approximately 11″ x 8 1/2″. As stated in the auction catalog, this script was “From the collection of Sigmund Goode.”
Minor soiling on cover and bent clasps as shown in photos. No handwriting inside script. No rips or tears.
A Jack Nicholson autograph is
desirable
in its own right, but on the script in which he played one of his most infamous characters, The Joker, makes this a special gift. His portrayal of that character in Batman was the basis for many others.
There are plenty of reproductions of this script available, some of which purport to have original signatures. Be careful when researching/buying. (Note: anybody can print and sign a “Certificate of Authenticity” so ask for documented history of the item  or proof of original purchase!)
More photos available upon request.
