An original concept painting from the classic superhero series Batman. Acrylic paint and pencil on board, the image depicts a large gold hanging banner, which reads ‘Gotham City Couturiers’ Association’ in green and purple under swags of pink draping. Handwritten notes in pencil under the painting include the size ’15’ – 0’ and Scale ‘1” – 1’-0’ and ‘Gold or Gold Painted Sign Cloth w/ Green and Violet Letters as in Sketch. Swags & Rosettes by Drapery.’ This painting is in excellent, production-used, vintage condition overall, consistent with age and history as a working painting.
This unsigned painting is likely the work of Leslie Thomas, who was the creator of multiple sketches and designs throughout the series’ run. In the age before computers, concept art such as this was critical to visually convey ideas to the filmmakers and studio departments (drapery, in this instance).

In addition, a defaulting Buyer will be deemed to have granted and assigned to Prop Store and its affiliated companies, a continuing security interest of first priority in any property or money owing to such Buyer in our possession or in the possession of any of its affiliated companies, and Prop Store may retain and apply such property or money as collateral security for the obligations due to Prop Store or to any affiliated company. Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Prop Store has collected good funds.

Prop Store can help you arrange packing and shipping through FedEx for smaller items or PackAir AirFreight, Inc. for larger items, or you can use your own licensed carrier, approved by Prop Store. Please contact Prop Store at +1 818 727 7829 or shippingla@propstore.com for further details. Please be advised that certain Lots are highly fragile and should be handled with caution. Prop Store recommends that the Buyer collect such Lots locally from Prop Store, if possible. Prop Store does not warranty the Lots against and shall have no liability for any damage that any Lot may incur or suffer during the shipping or delivery process.
5.3.2. After 14 days after close of Auction, if the Buyer has not made arrangements for and paid the shipping cost of the Lots purchased, or has otherwise failed to collect the Lots, a storage fee of 3% of the Hammer Price per month shall be charged to the Buyer. If the Buyer has failed to pay the Purchase Price and the cost of shipping and handling, Prop Store, at its option may cancel the sale.
5.3.3. It is the Buyer’s sole obligation and responsibility to be aware of, to comply with, and to pay for all relevant import duties, taxes, VAT, customs and other fees charged in the area of delivery. Prop Store will ship all packages with the full value of the Lot declared. The Buyer understands and agrees that Prop Store shall have no obligation or responsibility for any import duties, taxes, VAT, customs, shipping or other charges for the Lots shipped. Failure by the Buyer to pay all necessary amounts may result in the relevant authorities returning the Lot to Prop Store and in those circumstances the Buyer will be charged and will pay storage cost and Prop Store’s additional reasonable costs and expenses.
5.3.4. It is further the Buyer’s sole obligation and responsibility to ensure that any Lot purchased from Prop Store enters the shipping location lawfully, that all duties and taxes have been paid and that all required export procedures, regulations, and laws were properly complied with. The Buyer understands and agrees that Prop Store shall have no obligation or responsibility for complying with any export procedures, regulations, or laws applicable to the Lot.
5.3.5. Unless otherwise agreed by Prop Store in writing, the fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export license does not affect or postpone the Buyer’s obligation to make payment in accordance with Prop Store’s payment terms nor Prop Store’s right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. Prop Store shall not be obligated to rescind or cancel a sale nor to refund any monies paid by the Buyer to Prop Store as a result of or related to the Buyer’s failure or inability to obtain an export license.
5.3.6. Should the Buyer make own arrangements with third parties for shipping, handling, or delivery of any Lots, Prop Store shall have and accepts no liability or responsibility for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Similarly, where Prop Store suggests other handlers, packers or carriers, its suggestions are made on the basis of its general experience of such parties in the past. Although Prop Store shall use reasonable efforts to take care when selecting third parties for shipping and delivery, and the Buyer understands and agrees that Prop Store is not responsible to any person to whom it has made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third party concerned.
5.4 Prop Store's Liability
5.4.1. Except where expressly stated to the contrary above, under no circumstance will Prop Store incur liability to any Bidder or Buyer in excess of the purchase price actually paid.
5.4.2.

Prop Store’s obligations shall be suspended and time for performance extended until such time as the event outside its control is over, following which a new collection or shipping date can be agreed.
6. Terms of Guarantee of Attribution
6.1. Prop Store warrants the attribution of each Lot as stated in the title block (film title and item title) of that Lot in the Auction catalog, subject to any revisions (which may be given in writing or online before or during the Auction at which the Lot is purchased by the Buyer); this is Prop Store's Guarantee of Attribution. Buyers should be aware that multiple examples of props and costumes are frequently used during production and it is often impossible to determine whether a specific piece has been used on-camera. Any specific on-camera usage known to Prop Store will be noted within the description, but no warranties are given by Prop Store on that description.
6.2. If a Buyer demonstrates, to Prop Store’s reasonable satisfaction, that the Guarantee of Attribution is materially incorrect, the sale will be rescinded if the Lot is returned to Prop Store in the same condition in which it was at the time of sale. In order to satisfy Prop Store that the Guarantee of Attribution is materially incorrect, Prop Store reserves the right to require the Buyer to obtain, at the Buyer’s expense, the opinion of two experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Prop Store and the Buyer.
6.3. In the event a sale is rescinded in accordance with condition 6.2, Prop Store shall repay to the Buyer the Purchase Price. Repayment of the Purchase Price shall be the Buyer’s sole remedy for an incorrect Guarantee of Attribution, to the exclusion of all other remedies to the extent permissible at law. It is specifically understood that this will be considered the Buyer’s sole remedy under this clause 6.
6.4. The Buyer expressly agrees that Prop Store shall not be liable in whole or in part, for, and the Buyer shall not be entitled to recover, any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages including loss of profits or value of investment or opportunity cost.
6.5. Bidders are aware that description revisions may occur on some Lots, and should inquire before the Auction whether any description revisions have occurred on a given Lot and/or examine a lot before bidding on it. Prop Store will make all reasonable efforts to make description revisions readily available during the auction
