The JOURNAL STANDARD relume Batman Collection Revives Cinematic Graphics

The JOURNAL STANDARD relume Batman collection pairs archival film artwork with heavyweight vintage-inspired construction across six graphic T-shirts. Built from 100% open-end jersey cotton, each shirt is product-washed to recreate the texture and drape of a well-worn vintage tee while maintaining a durable, opaque finish. The graphics draw directly from theatrical artwork for The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Available in black, white, and navy colorways, the collection features six distinct graphic treatments spanning Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman. The heavyweight cotton body provides a structured feel that develops character over time, complementing the archival artwork printed across each design. The JOURNAL STANDARD relume Batman collection is available for pre-order now.
