Ok, I'll be that guy. Poster is....hmmmm....ok...I guess. Sutton had 2 years and this is what he came up with?! Kudos for it being better than the 2020 poster, but this is one of those "if it's still available when I get to the show, I'll buy it. If not, I'm not going to lose any sleep".
I think it's great, although I'm not sure what connection there is between Batman and San Diego.
I’m going to say Batman is a homage to EV home show
Comic-Con too perhaps?
That would be my guess. If so, still a very weak connection.
Does their have to be a connection?
It helps in the case when something is visually weak. At least you feel like something makes sense, even at the expense of art that looks like more effort could have been put into it. I don't know. To each their own. I'm just glad it isn't the poster for the Oakland show, though I ain't holding my breath for that one!
The best prints have a connection to the city, where the show is being played, etc... Seems to me as if Pearl Jam poster artists create artwork that brings in something about the city, band, venue far less than other bands. That's part of the reason people lose their minds when there is a halfway decent poster that does have a connection (Wrigley Cracker Jack or Emek Rome, come to mind). I've found that Eddie Vedder solo posters typically have that "connection" element far more frequently than PJ posters (why? I'm not sure).
I'm still trying to figure out why the poster for the Eddie/Earthling show in Newark had a horse and trees/flowers and rocks. Not sure what the connection was for that one, it looked more suited for a show somewhere in the southwest.
If anyone else going through the line wants to grab a medium SD Lion shirt, I’ll buy you a beer. 🙂 Gonna be in GA tonight but getting there late, will be chilling in the back. Thanks!
the poster is beautiful, nice thick stock - the back of the poster is sick!!! so friggin excited to frame this and put it next to my klausen 2008 EV Batmobile. so amazing to see a 1 mile merch line. ed's pedaling his bike around. such a beautiful day to be a pearl jam fan who loves batman, san diego and tour openers! cannot wait to see these guys tonight after 9 years of not playing San Diego - the vibe down there at 1 oclock was awesome and its 3 and still humming. the line is backed up to mexico and is slow.
Perhaps a nod to George Barris, who created the Batmobile for the 60s tv show. He’s a custom car legend in California and across the country for that matter.
I'm VERY curious to know how much PJ show posters now cost. Anyone with the assist here? First post-Rona show I've attended was TOOL, and the unsigned poster was $75...and sold out before I got a chance to throw money away.

Point taken… however King Kong did climb the Empire State Building.
