It was January, 2003. Warner Brothers officially announced that Christopher Nolan would direct a reboot of the Batman franchise. Comic book fans around the world held their breath in anticipation. Many assumed that the horrible acting and corny story lines of Batman and Robin put the final nail in the coffin of the once popular franchise, but to everyone’s surprise, Nolan was planning on breathing new life into the popular story of Bruce Wayne and his dark alter ego—the Batman. The cartoon-ready punch sound effects and larger than life view of Gotham City were stripped down to reveal normal life in a careworn city. The vision of Nolan was then combined with a well written script from David S. Goyer and a memorable performance from Christopher Bale. This film alone helped usher in the reemergence of the Superhero film.
Your favorite characters were now able to have a chance on the big screen. Instead of relying on the cartoons and comic books that we all speedily looked through as children, studios combined these fictional characters with real life scenarios and believable story lines that not only helped them soar at the box office, but even achieve critical acclaim—a first for Superhero films. Not only does your favorite character now have a chance at making it in Hollywood, but your favorite actor might also be interested in playing the layers that are found within the pages of these scripts.
2011 is shaping up to be a great year for Superhero fans. The Green Lantern, Green Hornet, Thor, Transformers 3 and many other films are hoping to thrill audiences and enjoy high numbers at the box office in the coming year. With Nolan slowly giving out small details about the third Batman film in the new series, we can only hope that Bruce Wayne continues to save the city of Gotham while protecting the image of the Superhero!
You don’t need the classic moves to dress like your favorite character. Join with other fans and check out our vast selection of comic book hero t-shirts. Superhero powers are not included!

It’s that time of year again…the holidays! The cold weather keeps us cooped up inside, together with friends, family and coworkers. It’s that gift giving and receiving time of year, and you probably feel the pressure to maintain your record of gift giving perfection. You are once again faced with that dilemma to find the perfect gift for each and every person on your list. With so many friends and family, each with their own tastes and sensibilities, is there really any fool proof way to know exactly what the perfect gift idea is for everyone?
THERE IS NOW! 2Bhip is here to help with your search to find the coolest gift ideas out there. We have the hottest licenses and products for all ages, and can even help Grandpa keep up with the ever changing trends. We have something undeniably cool for everyone.

Babies:
There’s a good chance somebody is celebrating their first holiday this year.

Now you have the chance to win some serious brownie points with mom and dad by making their baby the coolest on the block. We offer a huge selection of licensed baby shirts, ranging from classic rock bands to cartoons.

Teen Girls:
Girls are constantly searching for the newest styles and demand only the coolest products. They may want the latest trends that “everyone is wearing” or they may possess the creative ability to steer in the opposite direction. As they strive to establish their individuality, teenagers develop tastes and views that can differ wildly from each other, making it hard to find a gift that works for everyone. One brand that teen girls have agreed on universally is Hello Kitty. Undeniable cute and hip, we stock a great variety of Hello Kitty gifts, from juniors t-shirts to tote bags, sleek ID cases, wallets and scarves. If Hello Kitty doesn’t do it for them, they may also like our new animal laplander hats. Laplanders are the popular pilot style hats that are now back in style. They are stylish and warm so they are the perfect gift that moms and daughters can actually agree on! Girls like cute things, it’s a fact. You can’t go wrong with an animal laplander hat.

Teen Boys:
Teen boys are on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to fashion. Instead of embracing cuteness, they may want something to express their inner musician. Music is incredibly important to teenagers, and their favorite bands are a vital part of their identity. While adults are often emotionally moved by music, teens tend to like literally being moved physically by music. It seems that they sometimes seek out loud rock bands that keep their parents up at night. We have a massive selection of classic rock and metal band t-shirts featuring all the biggest, coolest names in music, as well as ever-popular wallet chains and hats. Teen boys take their music very seriously, and with big name options of loud and aggressive bands such as Metallica and AC/DC, you can’t go wrong.

Adult Males:
Now to the working class, the businessman, construction worker or football fan. The holidays are perhaps the most stressful time of year for this group, especially for those with children. They’re working hard to bring home that paycheck only to turn it into that perfect gift at the holidays. Why not reminisce about the good old days, when the holidays were all about getting the newest Nerf ball or Supersoaker and when cereal had a ridiculously high sugar content. You can now give a nostalgic gift and watch that guy transform into a kid again. We have a great selection of 80s t-shirts. TV shows and movies from their childhood; cartoons and retro video games too. Don’t forget that shameless gamer who knows his roots. If you can’t figure out which T-shirt he’d like, there are other options available. Everyone knows the best way into a grown man’s heart…a flask! A flask just might be the perfect gift for the man who needs a tasty beverage at his fingertips. We also stock stainless steel tankards in a variety of cool celtic designs. What a classic commemorative gift idea!

Adult Females:
Keeping up with the hottest styles in women’s fashion, and knowing exactly what the women in your life want, is a job best left to ancient scholars. All you need to know is that you can’t go wrong with Junk Food brand t-shirts, one of the big names in cool women’s fashion. These T-shirts have a soft, uber-comfortable feel and feature great retro designs. They come in adult sizes and also the ever-popular juniors style, which are form fitting and fashionable. Nothing beats the gift of relaxation, so make sure you do it in style! We have super soft sleeved blankets that cover the entire body in an armor of fleece. Now that’s the perfect gift for this upcoming winter. And the perfect way to relax after the pressures of the holiday season.

If the leaves are falling, the wind slowly grows cold, and the dark corners of suburbia ring out with the laughter of ghouls, you know what time  it is: Halloween! It’s the one socially acceptable time of year when we can all dress up in cool costumes and go door-to-door extorting sugary treats from our neighbors. To the horror-oriented, Halloween is the biggest holiday of the year, forcing us to confront and conquer our fears and giving us a chance to display our gruesome creations to the world. For some, it’s all about that sweet, sweet sugar rush, and for others, it’s a beloved tradition that finally gives us all a chance to become whatever our mind can conceive and prowl the dark streets. And even if Halloween isn’t your holiday of choice, everybody knows it’s a great excuse to throw a party. No matter what your goal, the most important thing is picking your new identity, and luckily 2Bhip is here to help with a great array of halloween costumes and accessories for the whole family! Our costumes include a great selection of famous super heroes, movie characters, horror icons, and much more. We carry children’s costumes for all ages, allowing you to get your child into the halloween spirit from infancy and keep them celebrating year after year. But if you’re a child at heart and can’t resist the halloween spirit, we offer adult costumes as well! Here’s your chance to be the costumed vigilante you always secretly wanted to be (don’t try to deny it). We also offer a line of sexy costumes for women, as well as a stock of costume accessories to complete your perfect costume, including masks and hats. Nobody will recognize the new you, leaving you free to roam the streets and feel like a kid again.

 Jeff Dunham is one of the most-viewed and most popular comedians of all time, dominating sites like Youtube and putting phrases like “Silence, I keel you!” and “on a steeeek” into the pop culture vernacular for years to come. Jeff Dunham T shirts are flying off the shelves, and he even had his own self-named tv show! If you live under a rock with no cable hookup and you missed his comedy specials, and somehow missed him online (his debut of Achmed is in the Top 10 most viewed Youtube videos, with over 350 million hits!), there’s one thing about him that makes these accomplishments all the more incredible: He’s a ventriloquist.
That’s right. Reviving an art that most thought to be long-dead, including many of the networks that wound up syndicating him worldwide, Jeff Dunham has become a self made millionaire by letting nobody convince him that the hobby he loves wouldn’t succeed. On the strength of his hilarious characters and his expertise of the form, he’s reached a level of success and popularity no fellow ventriloquist has ever seen. While his clean-cut image appeals to families, his act is edgy and offensive enough to satisfy any fan of modern comedy, and his characters continue to be contemporary and relevant. His most popular include:
Walter: A retired old man, Walter is discontented and sarcastic to a hilarious degree. Married for forty-six years, Walter claims the happiest moment of his life was “forty-seven years ago”. He’s often used to read and mock letters from the audience, and was one of Dunham’s original puppets, appearing in every one of his tv specials.
Peanut: A hyperactive, spastic purple puppet, Peanut often torments both the other characters and Jeff directly, even using a tiny Jeff puppet to mock him. A fan favorite and easily the most unusual of Dunham’s characters, he asked, after Dunham claimed to have never done drugs, “then how the hell did you come up with me”? Peanut was also one of his original puppets, another fixture of every one of his tv specials.
Achmed The Dead Terrorist: The newest addition, Achmed is a skeletal corpse of an incompetent suicide bomber used to satirize the terrorism issue. He suffers from “premature detonation”, and became the breakthrough star of Dunham’s act, propelling it to unheard-of levels of popularity. A very difficult character to make funny in such sensitive times, Jeff Dunham had the skill and professionalism needed to make it succeed. Now Achmed The Dead Terrorist T Shirts fly off the shelves and everyone knows that famous line, “I KEEL YOU!”. There are many more, usually up to seven different characters in one act, from a bumbling superhero to a smooth “Player In the Management Profession”. With such a wide variety, there’s a character for everyone to share a laugh with. We have Jeff Dunham t-shirts featuring the most popular characters and lines, and will continue to follow Jeff as he proves that ventriloquism, unlike Achmed, will never die.

Today marks the first day of summer and is historically known as the longest day and shortest night of the year. Summer Soltice is a latin derived phrase meaning “sun” and “to stand still”. As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky. As a major celestial event, the northern hemisphere celebrates in June while the southern hemisphere has their longest summer day in December.
In early celebrations, awed by the great power of the sun, civilizations have for centuries celebrated the first day of summer otherwise known as Summer Solstice, Midsummer, St. John’s Day, or the Wiccan Litha.
The Celts & Slavs celebrated the first day of summer with dancing & bonfires to help increase the sun’s energy. The Chinese marked the day by honoring Li, the Chinese Goddess of Light. Perhaps the most longest modern ties with Summer Solstice were the Druids’ celebration of the day as the “wedding of Heaven and Earth”, resulting in the present day belief of a “lucky” wedding in June.
Today, the day continues to be celebrated around the world. Most notably in England at Stonehenge and Avebury. Thousands gather to welcome the sunrise on the Summer Soltice.
Now that we got the history out of the way, bring on the flip flops, beach towels and hats. We’ve all awaited this day to come and can celebrate accordingly. Since you’ll be spending a lot of time in a swimsuit this summer, you could use some pocket alternatives. How about a bottle opener right on your flip flop strap or hat? Genious.
