Introduction
It’s not uncommon now for big retail stores to carry shirts featuring comic book characters. But in the late eighties, the selection was much more spartan.
For a brief bit of time I became interested in comic books, and purchased what I still think is a great Batman tee in 1988. I believe the artist for this particular Batman was Norm Breyfogle — still researching.
Like many old tees, this one rarely ever gets worn. I recently attended a Batman themed birthday party for a good friend at a community cinema. So while the tee is mostly stowed away safely in a drawer with other historical items made of cotton, it does get used on rare occasions.

I have no intention of kicking this tee out of TROMT. It takes up very little space and it’s fun — for me — to break it out for the ultra rare event that requires its presence. If I run into you at a showing of Batman, you know what I’ll be wearing.
