In light of the exciting release of the Batman movie, three designers have collaborated on a crafty project called the Dark Tea Rises that places a miniature version of the vigilante into everyday life. Gokhan Yucel, Fikr'et and Zeynep Basay have produced a playful page in the comic book style that provides the instructions for applying the costumed Bruce Wayne to your regular teabag.
The Dark Knight Rises infusion accessory can be printed from your computer and cut from the page of directions. You're left with a set of mirrored images so that the grappling Batman can be wrapped around your drink's tag and string. A touch of glue on both sides will anchor him in place, and as you fill your mug with boiling water, the Dark Tea Rises superhero will seemingly ascent the side of the teacup.
