Just as I always wondered what my favorite mustachioed people of history looked like without their trademark facial hair, I’ve equally wondered what some of my favorite film and game characters would look like with added beards. It’s a thought that has plagued my dreams for years, but having no talent for art myself, and having no magical beard growing powers, there was nothing I could do. Thankfully, someone with a little talent had the same thought.

Croatian illustrator Vanja Mrgan had a few questions of his own concerning beards and famous faces. The result are a set of geeky illustrations which will rock your beard-loving universe.

I’m glad they decided to go this direction next season. This could have been ugly had they slightly changed their premise. Can you picture it? Batmole: Ad Exec. Batman: Geriatric Secretary. Yeah. This could have been bad.

Battling the calculating evil genius of his arch-nemesis, the Weasel, Batmole is the one true masked crusader of the underground.

By day, he’s just a simple walnut mogul, with enough horded nuts to supply his vigilante habit. By night, he’s Batmole, the Dark Rodent!

The recession has hit Batman pretty hard. In fact, he can’t even afford gas for his old Batmobile anymore. He’s replacing unleaded with peanuts.

They might want to attach a fricken’ laser beam to his head. It’d be nice to have a weapon other than trample, you know, just in case we happen to be chasing down a criminal overlord.

Hidden with the now iconic Shakespearean bust, this awesome modder who goes by the mysterious name “Jimmy” set up his very own Wayne Manor Batcave-inspired hidden entrance. Using a  motor attached to a gearbox, which directly powers a wheel, Jimmy couldn’t use a full-sized bookshelf because of the sheer size, but opted for a door covered in faux-library wallpaper.

Press the button hidden within the bust and voila, go-go Batdoor. Works for me.

Back when the bat-signal was still illuminated by candle light, a non-electronic wielding vigilante roamed the streets, hunting down such villains as Jack the Ripper.

Marc Tan created this awesome piece titled “Gotham by Gaslight,” visualizing the image of Batman as seen through the eyes of 19th century Gotham.

Inspired by cosplay, these Baby Batman figurines come in your choice of Batman (Classic), Batman (Modern), Joker, Robin, Bat Girl, Cat Woman, Two Face and Mystery.

These are pretty adorable in a “I have more toys than you kid” sort of way.

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.

The answer is simple. Really, really hot.

I like a little sex appeal mixed in with my feline superheros and Megan Fox, who starred in both Transformers movies, is the sexiest damn woman in Hollywood at the moment. This mock-up wallpaper fulfills our fantasies by placing the foxy Fox in the iconic Catwoman mask. The rumor of her taking the role might be totally false, but a man can dream.

Geeky bikers are a special sort of breed. They are bad-ass enough to step on a speeding motorcycle, but geeky enough to wear something like this while doing it.

The Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit is a replica of the suit worn by Christian Bale in The Dark Knight film. The suit is designed to be worn by bikers, though I’m sure the non-biking geek can get plenty of pleasure out of wearing it as well.
