Television network Bite recently made a collection infused with two awesome character combos. Angry Birds is the hottest game on the mobile platform right now and several artists have taken their nab at recreating the Angry Bird cast.
Bite decided to combine the awesome detailed cast from Batman with everyone’s favorite birds and pigs done by two of their creative designers Daniel Halyburton and Jennifer Herd. The resulting Angry Batbirds is a well-constructed and awesomely illustrated collection. Famous characters such as Batman, Robin, Commissioner Gordan, The Joker and much more are transformed into the hilarious and addicting cast from the Angry Birds game.
Bite is known for creating amazing online interactive comedy and I can definitely see this as an upcoming small television series. Angry Birds and Batman make the ultimate combo—view the gallery to see why.
