BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) - Batman's (Christian Bale) Production-Made Cowl - Batman's (Christian Bale) cowl from the production of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Bruce Wayne wore his redesigned cowl as part of his new Batsuit in his hunt for Joker (Heath Ledger) and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).

Designed by Lindy Hemming and created by costume supervisor Graham Churchyard and his team, the refined Batsuit incorporated a number of innovations to allow Batman to move and fight with increased agility, the most significant of which was its improved cowl. The updated design separated the headpiece from the neck, radically improving the movements of performers wearing the suit. Hemming received a BAFTA Award& reg; nomination for her contributions to The Dark Knight.

Created for production but ultimately unused in the final cut, this urethane rubber cowl features holes for the eyes, nose and mouth which have been worn down to provide extra comfort and grip during wear. Defined lines and a menacing scowl are sculpted into the brow and cheeks of the piece, to imbue it with a dread-inducing look. This cowl exhibits a white powder residue on the exterior and some bending to the eyeholes.

Estimate: $15,000 - 30,000
