This photo (or, rather, the photo shown in this photo) was taken by Jim Marcus, "Cleveland's photo hobo",
It's clearly not exactly how I remembered, but the last time I saw it I was maybe ten or eleven. We still don't have any information as to who painted it or why, but it is definitive proof that a giant mural of Batman did indeed exist in Cleveland in the 1970s.
Any insights, acknowledgements or anecdotes about it would be appreciated.

OF COURSE I remember the mural! It was part of a pretty big public art project. Holy resurfaced memories! Now I'm off to research...
Thanks for the photo.
I remember the mural, and have a fairly bad snapshot of it taken in the early 80's. No idea when or why it came to be tho...
Located at E. 14th and Euclid.
This is a little late however, my father worked in the Hanna building and being an amateur photographer he snapped a few photos of the mural from the rooftop. I happened to find your post while thinking "what ever happened to it". I was told that it was weather worn and covered over in the late 80's. I remember thinking it was soooo cool that Dad had something fun to look at while at his boring job (lol).
