Sideshow has two new Clampett Studios Collection art prints. Both are inspired by the Batman: The Animated Series.
Celebrating The Dark Knight’s 75th anniversary, Clampett Studio Collection presents the “Be A Clown” art print and the Girl’s Night Out art print.
This art was inspired by “Be A Clown,” a hugely popular episode in the first season of the Batman: The Animated Series TV show. In this scene, Batman tracks his main nemesis, The Joker, to an abandoned fairground, where he confronts the cunning clown in a death-defying battle atop a runaway roller coaster.
This piece of concept art was used in the creation of the award winning show. It was part of a body of work that helped evolve the now-famous “Bruce Timm style” character design, which was an ultra-modern, dramatic, angular, and graphic departure from all previous representations of The Dark Knight.
“Be a Clown” was originally released in 1993 as a hand-painted limited edition animation art cel and quickly sold out. Bruce Timm directed the creation of the original art. The Warner Bros. also painted the original artwork. Animation Studio, as part of the 75th Anniversary of Batman’s creation.
The girls are a firecracker! The inspiration for Batman: The Animated Series episode entitled “Harley and Ivy,” Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy team up as Gotham City’s answer to Thelma and Louise (except that these girls would never head for the cliff…) This episode was especially popular with fans of Batman: The Animated SeriesIt was the episode that first paired these two dynamic villainesses.
“Girl’s Night Out” was originally released in 1996 as a hand-painted limited edition animation art cel and was one of the fastest-selling limited editions in the history of the Warner Bros. studio stores. The original artwork was created and painted by Warner Bros. Animation Studio, as part of the 75th Anniversary of Batman’s creation.
These commemorative editions on canvas are limited to 100 copies and are meant to be kept in the hearts of DC fans. Bruce Timm personally signs each print.
Both of these prints are so bright, colorful, and fun and would look fantastic on any Batman/DC Comic fan’s wall. Sideshow Fine Art Prints will ship the prints between January 2023 – March 2023.
