Michael Keaton's Batsuit From 'Batman Returns' Sells at Auction for $41,250
The suit from the 1992 film came displayed on a mannequin of Keaton's likeness.
— -- The iconic Batsuit that Michael Keaton wore in Director Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" has sold at auction for $41,250.
The original cowl, cape and body of the suit were all worn in the film, according to the website of Los Angeles-based Nate D. Sanders Auctions. Some parts, like the gloves, belt, insignia and shoes are replicas.
The 6-foot-5-inch suit comes displayed on a mannequin of Keaton's likeness, the website says, the perfect memorabilia for a true super hero buff. The auction concluded Thursday.
"Batman Returns," also starring Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken, was the second installation of Burton's franchise, following 1989's "Batman."
Although $41,250 isn't exactly pocket change, it is a bargain when compared to the Batsuit that Christian Bale wore for "The Dark Knight," which sold at auction for $250,000 late last year, according to Bloomberg.
