My Batman t-shirt

When I wear my Batman t-shirt I don't expect it to imbue me with any special powers; indeed, Batman isn't even a superhero because he does not have any superhuman powers, unless wealth and bad-boy charisma count.  It's not a lucky t-shirt or an article of clothing I reserve for special occasions, but a few times I have intentionally worn it as a sort of wearable security blanket.  It's black but faded, and some of the screenprinted yellow from the symbol as come off.  It's a child XL size, so it's a bit long, boxy, and the shoulder seam comes off my actual shoulders, giving me a very flat and wide appearance.  But I don't wear it as a fashion statement or as a sign of my wannabe geekiness, I wear it because it's comfortable and makes me feel irreverant, less anxious, and more cool in an aloof way.  If I'm reading a book I might catch a bit of it in my peripheral vision-- yellow against a black background is very striking, duh-- and I feel a bit more at ease.  I know that Batman cannot and will not appear by my side if I am in danger, but subconsciously I feel comforted, protected by the fact that my wearing the t-shirt helps me to fit in and stand out.
