This site has been around awhile and it's pretty obvious it's an 
amateur fan site. If you go all the way through to the end of 
the "presentation" (which is pretty clever), all the proper 
disclaimers are in place. The only thing it claims as its own is the 
particular design on the shirt, which I doubt would strike anyone as 
ripping anything off. If Warner Bros. got shirty (no pun intended!)
with every fan site out there, they wouldn't have time to earn 
billions on movies and their own merchandising.
