Batman's gotta look his best when fighting crime, and so do you when seeing "The Dark Knight Rises." To that end, the ongoing "Dark Knight" T-shirt contest can satisfy your needs, as you'll see in today's edition of Tights. Bonus points: some more "Avengers" footage to gawk at, a bit of mind-blowing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trivia, and something that should make Whedonites very, very happy.

Strap on your Tights and join us past the jump!

» Joss Whedon fans have a lot to look forward to this summer with both "Cabin in the Woods" and "The Avengers" on the way. If that's not satisfying enough, then wait! There's more: "Astonishing X-Men: Danegerous," a motion comic based on Whedon and John Cassaday's acclaimed comic book run, is hitting DVD on April 10. Details over here.

» Last but not least: ComicBookMovie.com has rounded up the latest batch of entries for the official "Dark Knight Rises" T-shirt contest, and the results are pretty fantastic.
