comic book apparel

So I ran into this situation the other day at work.... A guy came in and was wearing a Detective Comics shirt, and so I asked what he thought of the relaunch and if he was reading the new Batman comics, etc. He looked at me like I was crazy, and I could tell that he had no idea what I was talking about. Do you think that people should know about comics if they are going to wear the clothing?

Acting like a geek is cool these days, being one still not so much.

It's something that is insanely frustrating. Especially when it comes to my generation. I'm one of the few people I know who wears a Cap shirt and can actually say he knows the difference between Steve and Bucky-Cap.
