Threadless has this Angry Robin shirt available for guys and girls.Yahoo Movies has a solid interview with Marc Webb discussing The Amazing Spider-Man. Here's a taste, discussing what he didn't want to carry over from the previous films:
I felt it was important to start to define the parts of Peter Parker that were new and different. I mean, I think Peter Parker emerges from this orphan environment. He's abandoned by his parents at a very young age and that has an emotional consequence that tracks for the rest of his life. I felt like that was an important thing to hit on, and that emerges — it manifests itself, I think, in a surly, sometimes punk-rock attitude, and that quippy, really trickster-y behavior the Spider-Man takes on.
