Exclusive: Keaton’s ‘Birdman’ Stands Atop Zakim Bridge in Film Poster

Michael Keaton’s latest film, “Birdman,’’ is coming to the Hub and Fox Searchlight designed a poster exclusive to Boston.com featuring the titular character.

Mark Carroll, Fox Searchlight’s in-house designer, created 10 city-specific posters featuring Birdman standing atop iconic landmarks.

In Boston’s case, the fictional struggling actor (played by Keaton), is perched at the highest point of the Zakim Bridge.

Other cities to have posters designed in their honor include Chicago, Dallas, New York, San Francisco and Seattle.

“Birdman’’ is a black comedy centering on Keaton, a washed up actor who rose to fame for playing iconic superheroes, as he works to conquer Broadway.
