To celebrate the Dark Knight’s 75^th Anniversary three special Bruce Timm’s images were selected to be re-release as fine art giclee canvas prints.

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. As part of the 75^th Anniversary of Batman’s creation an anniversary edition on canvas has been created.

The original art for “Be A Clown” was drawn and painted by the Warner Bros. Animation Studio, under direction by Bruce Timm.
