Bat and Robin T-Shirt

bat_and_robin

While Bat and Robin might not be quite as “super” as the real dynamic duo, I could totally see a spin-off Saturday morning cartoon series featuring these two menacing flying creatures.

The Bat and Robin shirt takes a literal look at Batman, depicting what the comic could have been if the artists had decided to take a different course. This awesome shirt is still in the voting process on Threadless, but you can expect to see this for sale eventually.

Batman’s Latest Spy Technology

Is this a spy cam created by the military or is it Batman’s latest gadget? Of course it’s a piece of technology made by the military; Batman is a fictitious comic book character. The Army has awarded the University of Michigan College of Engineering a five year $10 million dollar grant to develop this robotic spy plane which bears an uncanny resemblance to a bat.

It’s called the COM-BAT and it’s concept was conceived by the US military for the purpose of gathering real-time data for soldiers. The folks behind the design are also huge fans of The Dark Knight. It’s a six-inch surveillance device that is powered by solar, wind and vibrations. So much for my idea of bat droppings as fuel.
