Batman’s Batpod leads Propstore auction at £10 million
Propstore will stage its Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction with a combined pre-sale estimate of ten million pounds. The top lot is the screen-matched Batpod from The Dark Knight in 2008 and The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. Distinctive marks and scratches along the right-hand side tie the vehicle directly to the Joker chase sequence. It carries an estimate of four hundred fifty thousand to nine hundred thousand pounds. The three-day event runs from London with worldwide online participation and features more than fourteen hundred lots of film and television memorabilia.
A second major Batman highlight is Christian Bale’s complete Batsuit from Batman Begins in 2005. That costume is estimated at one hundred twenty-five thousand to two hundred fifty thousand pounds and will also cross the block during the December sale.
Indiana Jones items include a screen-matched stunt fedora and stunt shirt worn by Harrison Ford’s primary stunt double Vic Armstrong in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984 and likely in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989. Offered for the first time from Armstrong’s personal collection, the pair carries an estimate of four hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand pounds. The fedora was made specifically for the Temple of Doom spiked-ceiling sequence. Guinness World Records recognizes Armstrong as the most prolific film stuntman; he performed the galloping-horse-to-tank leap in The Last Crusade. The eight-foot bullwhip from Temple of Doom is estimated separately at two hundred thousand to four hundred thousand pounds.
Game of Thrones hero props feature Jon Snow’s Longclaw sword used by Kit Harington across all eight seasons, estimated at fifty thousand to one hundred thousand pounds. Also offered is Daenerys Targaryen’s Drogon dragon egg, one of the three eggs presented to Emilia Clarke’s character, estimated at twenty thousand to forty thousand pounds.
Additional film highlights include the screen- and photo-matched Evil Superman costume worn by Christopher Reeve in Superman III from 1983 on a custom mannequin, estimated at one hundred thirty thousand to two hundred sixty thousand pounds. Conan the Barbarian’s Atlantean Sword from 1982 is estimated at seventy-five thousand to one hundred fifty thousand pounds. V’s screen-matched hero costume, mask and set of six knives from V for Vendetta in 2005 carry the same seventy-five thousand to one hundred fifty thousand pound estimate. The Deborah Scott Collection offers Madonna’s Nikki Finn costume with screen-matched skirt from Who’s That Girl in 1987, estimated at fifteen thousand to thirty thousand pounds.
The three-day live auction takes place December fourth through sixth 2026 with global online, absentee and telephone bidding throughout. Day one begins at three o’clock PM GMT at BAFTA on 195 Piccadilly in London. Days two and three begin each day at the same three o’clock PM GMT time with worldwide remote options. Day three also includes a dedicated animation art session of three hundred twenty lots starting at six o’clock PM GMT. All sessions offer the same remote bidding methods.
Propstore will host a public exhibition at The Cumberland Hotel in London from November nineteenth through twenty-second 2026, allowing fans to view more than one hundred highlight lots in person. The Batpod itself will be displayed in the hotel lobby from November ninth through twenty-ninth, with private viewings available by appointment. Free registration for the exhibition is offered through Eventbrite.
Stephen Lane, founder and CEO of Propstore, said: “The Batpod is an extraordinary feat of filmmaking and engineering, and a spectacular centerpiece for Propstore’s Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction. Bringing together Indiana Jones’ fedora, shirt, and bullwhip in the same catalog is particularly exciting. These pieces define one of cinema’s most recognizable characters, and offering all three in a single auction is an extraordinary opportunity for collectors. With the fedora and shirt coming directly from legendary stunt performer Vic Armstrong’s personal collection, they also tell the story of the remarkable stunt work behind the adventure. We can’t wait to find new homes for these relics with collectors who will treasure their place in film history.”
Registration is now open and the full catalog can be viewed at propstoreauction.com. Global bidding remains available via live online, absentee and telephone formats for the December sale.
