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 Television 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 artwork was inspired by concept art that was created during the production of the award-winning series. 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 initial art. It was then drawn and painted by Warner Bros. Animation Studio, as part of the 75th Anniversary of Batman’s creation.
The girls are a firecracker! Inspiration from the 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 SeriesBecause it was the first episode to pair 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. Bruce Timm directed the creation of the original art. 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.
