BATMAN
The Animated Series
A TOUCH OF POISON IVY
This is a Limited Edition Cel inspired by the original Warner Bros. animated television series.
In a scene inspired by the episode "Pretty Poison," Batman becomes bogged down with professional entanglements when he pays a visit to the greenhouse-lair of the beautiful-but-deadly villain, Poison Ivy.
This limited edition cel was created to capture a key pose of both Batman and Poison Ivy in a special scene. Created in 1994 at the famed Warner Bros. animation studio, the original drawing was hand-inked and the master ink line was transferred to a clear acetate sheet utilizing the serigraph screen printing process. These lines were augmented with "self color" lines, which were hand-inked on the front of the cel to help create the trademark shadows on the characters. In traditional animation style, the cels were then expertly hand-painted on the reverse side. The dark, mood setting background was created specifically for this cel by the same artists that produce Batman: The Animated Series. The backgrounds were reproduced using a four-color lithography process. Each piece is hand-numbered and printed with the Warner Bros. seal of authenticity.
