Sideshow Collectibles “Be A Clown” by Bruce Timm Fine Art Print
CELEBRATING THE DARK KNIGHT’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY, CLAMPETT STUDIO COLLECTIONS IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE BE A CLOWN 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 art was inspired by a piece of “concept” art from the development 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. Under direction by Bruce Timm, the original art was drawn and painted by the Warner Bros. Animation Studio, as part of the 75th Anniversary of Batman’s creation. This anniversary edition of only 100 pieces on canvas was created for DC fans to cherish, and each print is signed by Bruce Timm himself.
