Tim Burton’s Batman Returns (1992) Batmobile, driven by Michael Keaton, is set to hit the auction block on November 23, where it could fetch as much as $7 million. The iconic movie car will be among costumes and props from several superhero films at The Ultimate Batmobile Auction to be hosted by Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM).
The Batmobile is estimated to be worth between $5 million and $7 million. At the higher end of that spectrum, it could surpass the auction record established by the original 1966 Batmobile, which fetched $4.6 million in 2013.
It was constructed by automotive designer Carl Casper, based on designs by production designer Anton Furst and concept illustrator Julian Caldow, and measures about 19 feet, 8 inches in length. It’s got a custom fiberglass body on two Chevy Impala chassis, a radio-controlled flaming exhaust system, and its original gloss black paint.
The car helped cement the darker visual tone of Burton’s Batman films, and it remains one of the most iconic vehicles in superhero movie history. The coming auction is a rare opportunity for collectors to own a piece of Hollywood history.
Michael Keaton’s Batsuit and Other Batman Memorabilia Are Also Going Under the Hammer
It’s not just the Batmobile from Batman Returns getting some love. Michael Keaton’s Batsuit from the 1992 movie will also be available, estimated to fetch $20,000 to $40,000.
The costume restoration includes a black latex cape, a painted nylon bodysuit, leather gloves with attached foam spikes, a yellow utility belt, and custom boots based on Nike’s Air Jordan VI sneakers. A Batman cowl from the original production of the film is expected to fetch between $10,000 and $15,000.
Also on the list are the cowl worn by Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008), estimated at $20,000 to $30,000, and a Batman chest emblem from the 1989 film starring Keaton, estimated at $5,000 to $7,000.
Also up for bid: props from Jack Nicholson’s Joker in Batman (1989), a Batgirl cowl worn by Alicia Silverstone in Batman & Robin (1997), and memorabilia from other franchise entries.
The auction reaches beyond the confines of Gotham City with an original Superman flying costume worn by Christopher Reeve in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), est. $6,000–$8,000. Also available will be props from Blade and Guardians of the Galaxy.
The auction is scheduled for Nov. 23, 2026, in Los Angeles and online. With an estimated value of $7 million, Keaton’s Batmobile could beat its own record.
