An ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL: The brilliant TV show debuted Sept. 5, 1992…

The all-time classic Batman: The Animated series premiered 34 years ago, on Sept. 5, 1992 — and, if you have the means, there’s a pretty groovy way to celebrate.
The New Jersey-based Choice Fine Art has a large collection of original BTAS animation cels and sketches, most of them signed by the show’s creatives. They ain’t cheap, but they are really swank, and we’ve picked out a gallery of 13 at which to gaze.

Not just that, Choice Fine Arts’ California outpost is hosting a Batman Expo in Burbank on Sept. 19 and 20, featuring Eric Radomski, Kevin Altieri, Dan Riba, Stan Berkowitz and Robert Skir. Click here for more info.
Meantime, dig these 13 ANIMATION CELS, along with their prices. (Some are marked down for Labor Day Weekend.)

Happy anniversary BtAS!!!
It’s amazing to think of all the animation cells that had to be drawn and painted in order to make all the episodes over the entire four seasons of the show.
I can still remember rushing home every day. Making sure I had the vcr set to record each episode as they aired. Taking note of the episode title trying to make sure I didn’t start recording duplicates after repeat episodes began cycling.
How nice it was eventually buying all four seasons on DVD, then Blu Ray and then finally Amazon streaming.
