10 Famous Movie Props That Sold For Ridiculous Prices
8. The Batsuit (Batman)
Sale Price: $83,000
Not a single Halloween season goes by without thousands of Batman cosplayers uploading pictures of their outfits to social media, and while some of these efforts look very impressive, there are a handful of people on the planet who could easily put all those imitators to shame.
One of these people is the dude/dudette who purchased the actual Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's 1989 film - complete with a cape, a cowl, a bodysuit and leg armour, with replica gloves, boots and a belt added to finish off the look - for a grand total of $83,000 (£65,000). Now yes, that's significantly more than your average cosplayer would have to fork out, but by god, would it be worth it.
As was the case with Hammond's glasses, the Batsuit was in good condition, with some expected signs of usage. Considering that it's 30 years old, though, it also might smell a little - but then again, a guy who spends his nights fighting crime probably has less time for showers than the rest of us.
