I agree with the S/B being too common, non-comic fans could wear them. But I liiiiike Batman! I wasn't going to get a Superman shirt, just cause I'm not that into Supes, even though the "Ladies think I'm fly" one cracks me up. It's generally worth a test though - like when I saw the cute girl wearing a Babs Batgirl tshirt I said I liked her shirt and asked her if she liked Cassandra Cain. The blank look assured me she was a poser. So you know that most geeks would probably think it was at least worth a shot, and they can throw any Batman litmus at me and I'll pass baby. :) Whereas if they tried me on some other character I miiiiight not pass.

Flash and GL and good medium-level heroes: easily recognizable logos but unlikely that a non-comic fan would wear them. Which is why I was so intrigued by Flash boy. But I'm not that into Hal Jordan or GLs in general, which most shirts are, and most Flash shirts are red, which I hate. The black or brown Flash shirts creep me out since they remind me either of the Black Flash or JL Elite flash, neither of which I really want to be. The Central City Track one wouldn't be easily identifiable from across a room, which is part of the point, and it's guys, and may be a tad on the obscure side, but it's still awesome. As was the Atlantis Swim Team one. I must admit, I also enjoy the parody of the Abercrombie and Fitch "I'm going to pretend I'm on a non-existant sport team because all the other preps are doing it" shirts - you think I'm a prep but Oh Ho, I'm a geek! Slick!

Smallville is liked by non-comic fans, and I already have my Mrs. Welling shirt.

The GA shirts are all guy shirts, which I look absolutely horrid in and whenever I buy guy shirts intending to modify them I never get around to it. Besides, the only one I really liked was the car one and that's pretty obscure. The Arrowcar didn't get nearly as much play as the Batmobile. But if they had a really good girl shirt, I'd hit it.

Wonder Woman has the best girl shirts of course, but I'm not that into her.

I'd love a Robin or JLA shirt best. The selection of Robin shirts is tragically low, and most of the JLA shirts are not that attractive. So I'm probably going to go with http://stylinonline.stores.yahoo.net/btdccomicssuperfriendssub.html even though I'm so tempted by http://stylinonline.stores.yahoo.net/btbatmanrobinstaff.html The Tim one even has "Boy Wonder" on the back to attract people behind me! Cursed colors...

I want to say "Thank You" for showing me that site - I bookmarked it, because many of those shirts are simply awesome.

I want to say "Damn You" for showing me that site - because I am now going to be spending a lot of money I shouldn't on T-Shirts there....
