Warner Bros Animation Celebrates 80 Years of Cartoons with New Billboard!

In Burbank, California, on April 7th, 2009 Warner Brothers Animation held a public event where they presented their brand-new billboard celebrating nearly 80 years of WB cartoons. Celebrity guests included Actor Diedrich Bader, the voice of Batman on Batman: The Brave and The Bold ( Airing Friday Night on the Cartoon Network), and the iconic actress Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the 1966 Batman TV Series. The photo up above show them together with the original movie Batmobile. The billboard celebrates both old & new characters. Please be sure to click on the above photos for larger, more detailed, versions. I love the fact that Batman is so prominantly featured in the very center ( Take that, Superman! ). Also, if you study the photo, you'll see a lot of Batman: The Animated Series characters along the bottom: Harley Quinn, The Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman, Clayface, & Mr. Freeze...very cool! Happy 80th Anniversary Warner Brothers!!!

Wow, This is beautiful!
I guess Batman is in the middle, because he represents the first superhero cartoon they ever did. It should've been BTAS Batman, since all of the Batman The Animated Series villains are featured underneath..But I guess that makes up for it..
I LOVE THIS!
