The auction will begin at 9:00am PDT and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace. Note other lots in the auction may close on June 30th or July 1st. Batman's (Michael Keaton) batsuit components from Tim Burton's superhero sequel Batman Returns. Batman wore his iconic Batsuit throughout the film as he battled with the Penguin (Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer). The second iteration of the Batsuit, sculpted by Steve Wang and Jose Fernandez from design illustrations by Bob Ringwood, features a more industrially shaped, Art Deco aesthetic created specifically for the film. This lot consists of a black cape made from fabric-lined cast latex with metal plates at the front for closure, velcro strips and glue remnants where cowls were secured to the cape, velvet trim on the collar, and channels on the interior for placing dowels to allow the cape to be held spread-out, and "17" marked in the neckline; a matching, foam rubber chest armor piece affixed with integral shoulder and upper arm armor; a poor-condition foam latex cowl with extensive surface deterioration; a poor-condition set of hip armor with similar deterioration; and a replica yellow and black cast resin bat chest emblem created for display purposes. This costume's cape and chest armor are in fair condition; the cape remains relatively supple with minimal cracking. The cowl and hip armor are in poor and fragile condition, with significant signs of wear throughout, including crumbling and stiff foam rubber components. Estimate: $12,000 - 16,000
