The original ‘hero car’ Batmobile from the 1992 film ‘Batman Returns’ is scheduled for auction on November 23, 2026. The event, organized by Julien’s Auctions in partnership with Turner Classic Movies, will be held in Los Angeles and online. This specific vehicle, which has been ‘screen-matched’ to the majority of the film’s driving sequences, features an Art Deco-inspired design with a turbine-style intake and was built on a modified Chevrolet Impala chassis. More recent details specify the car is approximately six meters long, features a fiberglass body built on two joined Chevrolet Impala chassis, a Chevrolet V8 engine, and a three-speed automatic transmission. Previously displayed at the Marconi Automotive Museum, the vehicle was used for close-up filming in the Tim Burton-directed film starring Michael Keaton. Estimates for the car range between $5 million and $7 million. If the sale reaches this range, it would set a new auction record for a movie car, surpassing the approximately $4.2 million to $4.6 million paid for the Batmobile from the 1960s television series. The auction event is intended as a retrospective of Batman film and television history, featuring various production items, costumes, and props.
