With the premiere of the highly-anticipated Star Trek reboot — “This isn’t your father’s Star Trek,” runs the tagline on one new commerical — now less than a month away, I thought I’d take an in-depth look at what kind of related tees are available in the vast online marketplace. Other t-bloggers have covered similar ground in the past (if memory holds), so I’ll narrow my focus somewhat. Accordingly, here are seven eight Spock-centric tees that caught my discriminating eye in the course of a little Google-sleuthing. These shirts have been arranged in no particular order, btw, so don’t read anything into my opinions thereof based on the procession in which they fall.

1. Spock is a man Vulcan of considerable skills, but did you know that matching fresh beats on the ones and twos is among them? Neither did yours truly…

Available here at the official Star Trek store.

Still a tad early, I know, but this vid is a cold classic:

Peep out this vintage-lite tee I discovered on eBay:

As a celeb, you know you’ve crossed into the cultural elite when… you find yourself swapping recipes — and prefab street slang — with the high priestess of American crafting and party planning.

Remember when Snoop actually rapped (at a highly proficient level)? I don’t either. With any luck, this tee on eBay will jog our respective memories…

Maybe you’ve heard about a little film entitled The Dark Knight? Apparently, it came out last month. In less than three weeks, it has raked in more than $400 million dollars at the domestic box office, according to a report this week from the Reuters News Service.

Naturally enough, a blockbuster like this has been accompanied by an avalanche of product tie-ins. Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, is pumping out all of the usual suspects at its web store: belt buckles, lunch boxes, watches, jackets, and so forth. What really caught my eye, though, was a list compiled by the smart folks behind the movie blog slashfilm.com. They’ve collected their favorite Heath Ledger-inspired Joker t-shirts here.

Just how hot is this franchise? Take a look at this eBay auction featuring a vintage Joker tee from the late ’80s. The seller, someone with the dubious screen name glassfixer3uav, has started the bidding at a cool $500. To date, there have been lots of lookers but no takers. Yet…

Why so serious, indeed?

FOLLOW UP: The eBay auction ended today without a bidder. It has since been relisted, at the same price. Dude’s nuts.
