Burstin its way back onto the licensing scene is the fan-favorite classic Batman Classic TV Series.  The huge pop-culture sensation from the 60′s brought justice to Gotham City with its over-the-top, live-action stunts and endless celebrity cameos as the series still lives on in syndication-entertaining audiences for more than 40 years.  WBCP is bringing all the favorite characters back, featuring the likenesses of the actors from the television series as part of the Batman Classic TV Series licensing program.  The program will also showcase the vintage styles of the classic series and be highlighted by captured photography from the live-action series, as well as the illustrated character art inspired by the series’ animated opening sequence, and will incorporate the vehicles, gadgets and catchphrases that made the show the cultural phenomenon it is today.
