When you work at a place like SuperheroStuff.com, you have a tendency to be surrounded by all types of superhero goodness. It is almost staggering; the shear amount of stuff that we have and it took me years before I finally understood the breath and scope of what is out there in that warehouse. You haven't lived till you've seen row after row of industrial shelving chock full of lunchboxes, figures, robes, shirts, jackets, helmets, pint glasses, keychains, buttons...you name it! The real point of all of this though, as you may have guessed, is my current top 5 favorite Batman shirts! I have to say current because our stock is always shifting and we no longer have this really sweet Batman fighting a horde of zombies t-shirt...they no longer make the thing! Curse you, big manufacturers, curse you! So, without further ado, here is my (current) top 5 favorite Batman t-shirts!
Of course you knew the first one was going to be this one. I know, I know...a little bit on the traditional side but let's be honest...everybody loves the 80s style black-and-yellow Batman symbol. Hey, that was back when where Michael Keaton Batman just gunned people down or just rolled up to factories to drop bombs off! Where were the comic book purists on that one? Ah yes, that's right...the internet wasn't big enough back then. I'm sure there were some rather inflamed usenet groups though!
Next on the list we have this fantastic Dark Knight Costume T-Shirt. It is for when you want to run around places yelling 'WHERE ARE THEY' or 'SWEAR TO ME' or just randomly screaming 'RACHEL'! Wait, that was Harvey Dent but you can still yell it out – people will know what joke you are running with. Maybe it will even help you understand Bane from The Dark Knight Rises! Ahhh...the people! You read it in that voice, right?
While not technically purely Batman, this Batman Beyond Symbol T-Shirt is close enough...at the very least he was trained by a venerable Bruce Wayne! The shirt was trained, that is...not Terry McGinnis. He's just the result of a magic-flu that makes people pregnant...or something. Go check with Amanda Waller on that one.
It is getting a bit colder out there so why not shimmy around while wearing this ¾ sleeve raglan t-shirt? I don't know how many of us play baseball but at least it is super nice for even just hanging out! About as far as I get into baseball is that old school Nintendo game that involved robots and fighting to the death when you made it to base and I still really like this shirt. It's so fancy!
I saved the best for last, folks. This is the internet and everybody knows that the internet loves cats. I assume that you might be at least somewhat interested in Batman but I know I got you on the cat thing, right? RIGHT? There's no possible way anything go wrong when you combine both Batman and a cat...which may be what happens with discrete rooftop meetings(coughNew 52cough).
Well, there you have it! I hope you enjoyed this little collection of shirts and we'll leave the door unlocked for you all over at SuperheroStuff.com...just make sure to take your shoes off before you come in. We don't want you guys tracking all that internet mud in here!
