The Steeler Face is anxiously awaiting the July 20 release of "Dark Knight Rises" at it combines two of my favorite things from childhood -- the Batman and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As many in Steeler Nation are already aware, much of the film was shot in Pittsburgh, including a dramatic action sequence at Heinz Field that features several Steeler players, who are the Gotham City Rogues in the film.
Yes that's really Hines Ward...
The Rogues unis are black-and-gold (like the Steelers) . . .
. . . and they have their own Terrible Towels too.
Moreover, the Gotham City Rouges unis are much better than those awful prison-style throwbacks the Rooney's introduced earlier this year

The Steelers will look more like jailed villains than super heros in those clown outfits. Perhaps, in a previous episode, the Steelers were jailed for losing to to Tebow in the playoffs.
Please, Batman, save us . . . (from these hideous throwbacks).
Hi. Where can I get the towel you've posted the picture of?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I don't know. I found the photo online about the time the movie came out. My guess is that they only created a limited number of them just to use on the set of the movie. However, I wonder if you looked around area shops in the city of Pittsburgh if there might be some there.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I did find a Gotham City Rogues t-shirt at Comic convention in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago.
