In the 1990s Warner Bros. Animation redefined how an entire generation viewed the Caped Crusader in BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES and the Man of Tomorrow in SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. Animation icons Bruce Timm, Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, and so many other talents drew from DC Comics’ rich legacy of characters and stories and created the most stylish, smart, and spectacular superhero television ever seen.
It was appointment television for many of us who grew up in the ‘90s, and decades later, we’re still celebrating their influential work. We’ve long been collaborating with our friends at Phantom City Creative on a line of BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES posters that honor the characters and moments that still resonate with us. We’re so excited to add to the collection with two gorgeous posters that center around original characters created for BTAS – “Tyger, Tyger” featuring the tragic cat creature Tygrus, and Bruce Wayne’s once and future rival Kyodai Ken in “Night of the Ninja.”
We’re also thrilled to present our first posters for SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, starting with PCC’s brilliant gatefold art from our 2015 vinyl release featuring the Man of Steel overlooking the eden of Metropolis, while the variant focuses on failed Superman clone, Bizarro, and his Bizarro World.
Each poster is set to release Thursday, June 18th at 11am Central on The Drop.

In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?”

Superman: The Animated Series Screenprinted Poster
Premiering in 1996, SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES was, like its sister show BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, a distillation of decades of legendary comic book adventures, and the greatest animated version of Superman since the Fleischer cartoons of the 1940s.
Phantom City Creative’s astonishing art shows the Man of Tomorrow watching over his home and the people he loves – and their intricate linework celebrates the “Ocean Liner Deco” design for Metropolis that producer Bruce Timm and his team of animators created as a counterpoint to Gotham City.
