Dust off your Batsuit, because cinema history is hitting the auction block in Southern California.
Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies are teaming up for “The Ultimate Batmobile Auction.” The marquee event takes place live in L.A. and online on November 23, 2026.
The crown jewel of the sale? None other than the original Batmobile driven across Gotham in Tim Burton’s 1992 classic, “Batman Returns.”
A $7 million cinematic masterpiece
Custom-built by automotive designer Carl Casper, the vehicle ushered in a dark, sculptural aesthetic for the Caped Crusader.
The machine is built on two Chevrolet Impala chassis and features a sleek fiberglass body, finished in its original glossy black coat.
Best of all, the car still houses its famous radio-controlled flaming exhaust system.
According to Julien’s Auctions, this one-of-a-kind ride could fetch an astonishing $7 million.
Rare Hollywood props on the block
The sale is not just for Gotham enthusiasts. Collectors can bid on a massive lineup of superhero memorabilia and historic Hollywood relics:
- Michael Keaton’s Batsuit and cowl from “Batman Returns”
