The aforementioned Jim Lee, in a video presentation on Friday, said:
Now Batman has found another fantastic home here in the heart of Burbank, the city where so many of his stories were created, animated, filmed and brought to life. I am honored that this beautiful larger than life Batman statue is based on one of the iconic poses from a story I drew called Batman Hush.
City officials hope it will be the first of several "places for selfies”That attract people to the area and highlight the city's position in the entertainment industry. The mayor of Burbank Sharon Springer encouraged Batman fans to share their photos of the statue on social media using the hashtag #BurbankBatman:
The Batman sculpture and those that follow help show Burbank as a major tourist destination and will further highlight the city's statue as the media capital of the world.
