Geek Apparel of the Week: How About a Magic Trick?
I wanted to post the Geek Apparel of the Week a little early, just so I could concentrate on the SDCC news later in the afternoon. Happily, the fine folks over at Bamkapow made this much easier by sending me this pic of their first shirt, inspired by a very memorable scene from The Dark Knight. It might not be the most aesthetic geek shirt I’ve featured, but let’s face facts?it was one of the most badass moments in a thoroughly badass movie, and anything that lets us remember it is aces in my book. Go buy it here for $23.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
