Two movies. One weekend. One global phenomenon. Audiences have coined 2023’s movie event of the year Barbenheimer, as Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer are set to go head-to-head in theaters this weekend. One of the best things to come out of this cinematic feat pre-release is undoubtedly all the beautiful Barbenheimer posters.
Opinions vary on whether Barbenheimer is more of a collaboration or a competition, but one thing is for certain: fans can’t get enough of it. In the spirit of new lock screens and sensational creativity, there’s no better time to assemble a list of the best Barbenheimer posters.

1. Barbie & Oppenheimer Go Dancing
Barbie (Margot Robbie) is so much more than just a doll, and Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) isn’t just a theoretical physicist. Who wouldn’t want to leave their day job and go dancing with Barbie?
2. Barbie & Oppenheimer Blow Up the Beach
Ken’s (Ryan Gosling) job is beach, and Oppenheimer’s job is bomb. Barbie has left behind delightful, himbo Kenergy for a more explosive personality.

Barbie and Oppenheimer may be the stars of the show, but each film boasts an insanely impressive cast. This Barbenheimer poster pays homage to all cast members while keeping the titular characters front and center.
4. Oppenheimer Goes Pink, Just for Barbie
Stop the car Barbie, we’re going bombing. In arguably the most colorful and well-designed Barbenheimer poster, a little bit of glitter shrapnel isn’t going to stop Barbie and Oppenheimer from having a good time.
5. Barbie Watches the Bomb
Barbie’s Kingdom is sure to be one of the most beautiful sets in movie history — until it’s discovered by Oppenheimer. This explosion is enough to make Barbie think about dying.

The only crossover bigger than Barbie and Oppenheimer may be Barbenheimer and The Beatles. Pairing the movie event of the summer with one of the greatest albums of all time is an impressive display of taste.

Let’s face it, Barbie looks great no matter what she’s doing. Put her in front of the atomic bomb, and she looks to be having the time of her life. But did Oppenheimer tell her to strike a pose?
8. Barbie and Oppenheimer Are Two Sides of the Same Coin
Inside of everyone, there’s a Barbie and an Oppenheimer, but which side suits you best? The good news is, the Barbenheimer phenomenon doesn’t need to be limited to the summer.
9. She’s Everything, He Just Made a Bomb
Barbie and Oppenheimer releasing on the same weekend is the biggest crossover in recent memory, but what if there’s more to come? Could Barbie and Oppenheimer appear in the same movie in the future? This Barbenheimer poster makes a compelling case.
10. Barbie & Oppenheimer Meet in the Parking Lot
Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan has a long-standing relationship with Warner Bros, the same studio behind Barbie. Perhaps the two titular stars crossed paths sometime during production?
