Graphic illustrator Ninjaink cleverly designed this Game of Rogues hybrid T-shirt that combines the iconic Batman superhero with the hit fantasy TV show Game of Thrones. The shirt, available for sale at Neatorama.com, is the ideal mix of geek and fantasy.
The Game of Rogues shirt comically parodies the gory fight for the Iron Throne by having the iconic vigilante Batman sitting in it as if he already conquered Westeros. The merging of Batman with the universe of Game of Thrones actually makes a lot of sense because the two worlds share many parallels such as a strong fight for justice. As Batman sits on the throne among trinkets belonging to villains such as Catwoman, the Riddler and Bane, this shirt definitely makes you wonder if Batman was in the running for the Iron Throne, would he win?
