Watched Batman last night, first time i've seen it in a few years. Love one of the pictures in Jack Nicholson's apartment:

(apologies for the poor photo quality, grabbed it from youtube)

Has anyone ever come across it before ? What are my chances of finding a replica ?

Yes - It's just a portrait of Jerry Hall (before the Joker destroys her face of course)

There's an old artist from the 80's named Patrick Nagel who was big for sort of black and white cartoons of a similar type as that picture. Not exactly the same, but as others have said, it's just a portrait for the movie.

You might like Nagel, or some of it, if you like that kind of art. It just screams "80's chic" too much for me to take seriously. It was sort of what every wall-street banker and high priced lawyer had in his house in 1982. I think he even did a Duran Duran cover...
