Years ago I posted scans of the Merlin Sticker Album for Batman Forever but I realised recently I've never taken the time to just flick through it in a video. So here's a video of me talking about it as I go through page by page.
This sticker album is great to look at. Not only does it have a really colourful, dynamic layout but it also has some super 90s glittery designs.
Most importantly though it's got a ton of "unit stills" - which are photos rather than screengrabs from the film. All major feature films have a dedicated photographer on set who captures high quality stills of the scenes that are filmed as well as the sets and props. Often these are taken during filming or immediately after. As such they give you a unique angle on the film given that they are taken from different perspective - as the photographer will be somewhere other than where the film camera is. Sometimes (and I have been guilty of thinking this) they are mistaken as stills from deleted scenes.
Anyway, there's some great ones in here. Not least the still (to me) mysterious shots of Edward Nygma driving around Claw Island wearing a green hardhat and seemingly opening the building with two red haired assistants either side of him.
