A new symbol of justice has been unveiled in Burbank. The bronze statue of Wonder Woman, standing at seven-and-a-half-foot tall, was revealed in a ceremony at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. Developed through the partnership of DC, Visit Burbank and Warner Bros. Discovery, Warner Bros says the statue “will stand for generations to come as a symbol of peace and justice for both visitors and residents of Burbank”. President of Global Brands, Franchises and Experiences Pam Lifford, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee, and Wonder Woman 1984 Director Patty Jenkins attended the ceremony.
Jim Lee, said,
“Since she made her debut in the pages of All-Star Comics #8, Wonder Woman has been published all over the world and has inspired millions of fans around the world who saw themselves in the action-packed pages of the comic books, as Lynda Carter in the TV show or Gal Gadot in the movies. Her real, secret superpower is that she continues to bring fans together around something they love.”
The statue, weighing over 600 pounds, was designed by artist Jenny Frison and crafted by Burbank’s American Fine Arts Foundry and Fabrication. To commemorate the statue’s unveiling, Visit Burbank is reprinting the famous story of Amelia Earhart landing on Themyscira from Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace, written by Amanda Diebert with art by Aaron Lopresti. The comic will feature a brand-new cover and will be available via Visit Burbank.
The Wonder Woman statue can be viewed 24 hours a day in front of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood at 3400 Warner Blvd. Burbank, CA. For more information on Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, visit www.wbstudiotour.com.
