Thanks to Sallah, we now know those "promotional shots" of the belt are from shoddy looking costume tests taken in front of the Grissom mural.
Versus the one actually being worn by Keaton in a real publicity shoot by Herb Ritts...
Yellow?
The dark copper belts of today make Keaton's brass...
Bo Welch is like Barbara Ling and pretty much every other Production Designer, glorified art director that gets all the credit. Anton Furst wasn't human, he was a bonafide genius. Every vehicle, gadget and key location was based on his designs. That's unheard of on movies like this today. The...
Yeah but we know it's never vibrant yellow in images that aren't low quality scans that are poorly printed, faded, saturated etc.
They are probably scratching their heads looking at all the different versions of the glider cape...

Full credit goes to Doc Brown at BatmanOnline for this find. I had a similar reaction but no else there seemed to care or even watch it. It's awesome to finally see another fan have a sane reaction to this rarity. It's shame that it didn't get any exposure on the silver anniversary by internet...
