The winners for the Dark Knight T Shirts are here. Some of the best drawings and digital renderings Design By Humans has ever seen. From Bane's angry face, to the stealth actions of Batman; each new Dark Knight Rises shirt has story of their own.
The Rising Shadow introduces a large portrait of Bane with Batman running toward the foreground. The ink and brush stokes give this tee energy and texture.
The Bane Shirt, by Mr. Nicolo is known for his intense shirts like Sasquatch and Dino Frenzy. He captures Bane building intensity in his hands, with a brilliant use of blues, accented by orange eyes and energy. The sure grip of Bane comes alive in this T Shirt.
When the bat signal is called the Dark Knight Arises. This Dark Knight Shirt is a sure portrayal of Batman, Gotham and the bat signal.
Once the signal is called the Dark Knight will Come From the Dark. Batman drops to the ground with a storm, accented with the cape flowing from above. This symmetrical balance frames the leading lines so you stare right into Batman's dominance.
The final fight between Batman and Bane under the depths of the bat signal put this design at the top of Christopher Nolan's list. Hello, Mr. Wayne features many fantastic design elements. This tee captures contrast, shadows and highlights to create an intense fight scene. Action, leading lines, and brilliant contrast make a t shirt worth a thousand words.
All 5 Dark Knight Rises tees are for sale for a limited time. You can purchase a piece of the Dark Knight legacy or for the big time fans you can collect the entire series at a discount. The designs are printed on soft cotton shirts for comfort and quality. The movie releases July 20th, but the shirt are available now. Thanks for all the submitted, voted and purchased shirts.

Each day, we will reveal a new t shirt design and starting on Wednesday, Director/Writer/Producer Christopher Nolan and Producer Emma Thomas' selections will be revealed. The Dark Knight Rises designs came in from all over the globe in one of the largest t shirt competitions Design By Humans has ever hosted.
The epic journey has concluded with 5 world class Dark Knight Rises T-Shirt designs that are simply amazing. With uniquely designed t-shirt art from 84 countries, producing more then 3,000 submissions, it was no small task for Design By Humans and Warner Bros. to select our finalist.

The winning t shirt designs are printed on a premium blend cotton shirt for maximum comfort and quality. The t shirts are screen printed on a specialized allover press at our state of the art printing facility.
We look forward to hosting more epic t shirt design contests in the near future. In the meantime, feel free to browse our winning Dark Knight Rises shirts, and hundred of other graphic tees available on our website.

This contest is more of a social popularity contest than an actual ART competition. The ten highest voted on are mediocre compared to some of the incredible design work submitted. I am shocked to see some great work ignored.
@mastermega there are people who vote for every single design and repeat the same comment to every design just in hopes to guilt those people to vote for their design. How about we vote for shirts we would wear, designs we admire and give constructive criticism on why we like or dislike a design.
@Bheinz 100% agree. Artist deserve to be noticed and admired. The best ones want to learn how to make their art better.
I am pretty sure DBH will not based the selection on the number of votes received by an artwork because if it will happen much great design will be ignored….I believe in WB and DBH..It must be based not on votes but on the quality and idea of the actual design.Cheers :)
@iamrobman you’re right buddy..hope each design will be reviewed by DBH and WB..
@iamrobman
sorry guys your submission needs to be in the top 10 for nolan & WB to even look at it
@cyberG I believe the top ten is voted on by DBH and WB, not based on votes soley.
@wotto Please confirm that the finalists are more about art and artistry, being judged by art directors and people in the know and not just a popularity contest. There’s no way I’d have taken time for this if it was simply based on votes.
im pretty sure i read in the submission rules that the top 10 voted will be reviewed by DBH & WB but then its up to them who gets what place (eg 10th place could be the overall winner)
its the same way websites like “talent house” are structured
@cyberG Oh geez, I hope not. I’ve entered too many of those contests. Those aren’t about talent, it’s about who has more friends and who can make up the most email addresses. I thought I had read the votes were only a part of who gets chosen. I hope you’re wrong.
@wotto Can you clarify the process by which designs are chosen to move on to the final ten?
Thanks!
Wotto said it, votes are just a guide into the election process…so be calm guys, we should trust DBH.
VOTE FOR MINE IF YOU JUST LIKE BATMAN AND HIS EPIC-NESS!!!!! XD
