From what I can see I think they say:

Batman - Needs Anger Management

Dr. Fate - Painfully Shy?

Firestorm - Hot Head

Green Lantern - "something" Envy?

Flash - Speed Freak

Riddler - Bipolar?

Superman - Dual Personality

Green Arrow - Borderline Personality

Joker - Just Crazy

Is this Lois Lane -

Wonder Woman -

Darkseid - Needs A Hug

Plastic Man - "something" Around Work?

Catwoman - Delusional?

Aquaman - Fish Fetish

Robin - In Denial

Red Tornado - Dresses Up For Attention

Penguin -

Batgirl - Mrs. "something"

Hawkman - Suffers From Bird Flu

I think Wonder Woman might be "Gamophobic" -- fear of marriage.

The heads are Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, so I'm betting it's a licensed product. Though, since licensing is ( I presume) authorized by the licensing department and not editorial, I don't expect they respect the characters much.

I don't know....  I checked the site out, nothing there says it's licensed.  And most of DC's licensed t-shirts come from Graphitti.

••

The point is, sadly, that there are enough ennui engorged aging fanboys out there that a shirt like this can be produced with some expectation of turning a profit. Look for it appearing at conventions near you in years to come, stretched across fat bellies, with the armpits stained several shades darker than the rest of the shirt -- excepting the parts bedecked with food stains.

It is absolutely vital, after all, that addicts show their utter contempt for their addiction.

Like Scott, I don't understand the point of this T-Shirt. It doesn't work on any level, humorous or otherwise.
