Batman's had a hell of a year. Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy wrapped up with The Dark Knight Rises, and raked in a ton of money in the process. Frank Miller's excellent Dark Knight Returns got its very own direct-to-video animated film (Part One at least), and in comics, Batman enjoyed another amazing year, thanks to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Court of Owls.
With so much Bat-goodness happening in the world, the Caped Crusader has more fans than ever. With three different Dark Knight Blu-rays hitting shelves this week, it got us thinking about the other gifts to give the Bat-fanatic in your life. Whether it's your best friend, mom, roommate, main squeeze, or even yourself… we've collected a wide range of Bat goodies for Dark Knight lovers of every description.
Although all of our models are Batgirls, much of the apparel is unisex. Please read the product descriptions for more information about who each gift would be best suited to!

You probably don't want to go patrolling the streets in this, but you might be tempted to! The Batman Costume Hoodie is good for boys and girls, and comes with a built-in cowl hood to help you see the world through the eyes of The Bat.

Check out the real Justice League: Batman, plus the folks of Law & Order. That famous team-up is commemorated in the Crimefighters Tee. Just kidding, that team-up never happened, except in the mind of mad scientist Brandon Bird.
