Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free film poster – true for The Batman (film)
Description	This is a poster for the 2022 superhero film The Batman. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Comics.
Source	Rotten Tomatoes (direct link)
Article	The Batman (film)
Portion used	The entire poster: because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as counterfeit artwork, pirate versions or for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Main infobox. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work, product or service for which it serves as poster art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work, product or service and know they have found what they are looking for. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services, and in turn the marketing of the promoted item.
Replaceable?	As film poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. No free use image available. As these are fictional, copyrighted characters and a copyrighted presentation, a freely-licensed alternative could not reasonably be obtained.
Other information	All DC Comics characters and the distinctive likeness(es) thereof are TM & © DC Comics, © 2021 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Licensing

This image is of a film poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of film posters

to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film poster itself, not solely for illustration
where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
