I would like to thank the Paris Olympic people for personally catering to my own weird and very specific interests. I'm confused and flattered.

A week ago, I watched the silent film 'The Man Who Laughs' from 1928. Thought it funny to redraw a promotional poster with Batman's most early designs.

The silent film The Man Who Laughs (1928) has entered the public domain!
Tumblr media
I’d highly recommend it if any of these things intrigue you:
Conrad Veidt, known for such roles as Cesare in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Major Strasser in Casablanca (1942), & more
Mary Philbin, who played Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera (1920)
the iconic slit mouth look that inspired DC’s Joker
enjoying a Victor Hugo story without reading a Victor Hugo length novel
You can even watch it right on its Wikipedia page!
