Can’t tell, but Skid Row poster on the left? If one of them look like Cousin It with a hat, I would’ve definitely said Guns N’ Roses.

I was thinking Skid Row on top. Looks like Sebastian Bach posture Bottom blonde looks like Duff In the hat

Definitely Skidrow under the batman poster, to the right I'm not sure maybe def Leppard? The poster under skidrow is great white

Looks like Great White. The middle guy with the hat in that poster I think is their guitarist at the time, Mark Kendell. He wore black, flat-brim hats like that.
That and the Skid Row poster would date this about 1989. Skid Row's first album broke in early 1989, and they got big that summer.

I think your right about GW, I think the small one next to the window is Def Leppard- Phil Collen had shorter hair like that late 80s-90s. With the TB Batman logo, 1989 is the earliest this pic was taken. I’d guess OPs mom is late 40s almost 50- Gen X HS era was a sweet time to be alive. We had no idea.
My wife says she thinks that guy on the right wall is Swayze.

I think we all had the Burton bat-poster. The Frank Miller "Dark Knight" was way rarer.

Batman was out in Summer 1989, so it must have been then or later.

Has to be at least 89. I had that Batman poster, too. I wish I still had it!

89, the Michael Keaton batman! First movie I saw with him in it was Night Shift with Henry Winkler...funny as hell and kinda launched his career.
