Superman suit and Batman’s Batpod lead blockbuster £10 million film memorabilia auction

Batman’s Batpod, Indiana Jones’ fedora and Jon Snow’s Longclaw sword are among more than 1,400 pieces of screen history heading to auction this December.

Propstore is preparing a blockbuster sale for film and television collectors, with its Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction bringing together an estimated £10 million worth of original props, costumes and production material. The three-day event runs from December 4–6 December 2026, with bidding led from London and collectors able to take part internationally online, by telephone or through absentee bids.

The catalogue spans some of cinema and television’s most recognisable productions. There’s also a substantial animation art sale, with 320 lots scheduled for the evening of December 6.

The headline attraction is an iconic piece of machinery from Christopher Nolan’s Batman films. The screen-matched Batpod from The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012) carries an estimate of £450,000–£900,000. This is the light-up hero vehicle associated with Batman’s pursuit of the Joker in The Dark Knight. Distinctive marks and scratches along its right-hand side have been matched to the vehicle seen during the chase.

The Batpod is an extraordinary piece of film engineering. Its low-slung design, enormous tyres and unusual steering arrangement gave Batman a suitably imposing way to navigate Gotham’s streets. It remains one of the most memorable vehicles of the modern superhero era.

Collectors can also bid for Christian Bale’s complete Batsuit from Batman Begins (2005), estimated at £125,000–£250,000. The suit represents the beginning of Bale’s celebrated interpretation of Bruce Wayne, in the first instalment of Nolan’s trilogy.

Indiana Jones, Superman and the heroes of Westeros

Indiana Jones is represented by two important pieces of Harrison Ford’s adventuring wardrobe: a screen-matched stunt fedora and shirt worn by Ford’s principal stunt double, Vic Armstrong, during Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), and likely also Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

The pair carries an estimate of £400,000–£800,000 and comes directly from Armstrong’s personal collection. The fedora was made specifically for Temple of Doom and has been matched to the sequence in which Indy escapes a descending spiked ceiling.

Armstrong is one of cinema’s most accomplished stunt performers. Guinness World Records has recognised him as the most prolific film stuntman, and his work on the original Indiana Jones trilogy included the famous leap from a galloping horse onto a tank in The Last Crusade.

Another familiar part of Indy’s equipment is also going under the hammer. His eight-foot bullwhip from The Temple of Doom has an estimate of £200,000–£400,000.

“Bringing together Indiana Jones’ fedora, shirt, and bullwhip in the same catalogue is particularly exciting,” says Propstore founder and CEO Stephen Lane. “These pieces define one of cinema’s most recognizable characters, and offering all three in a single auction is an extraordinary opportunity for collectors.”

Superman fans have an opportunity to acquire a rather different outfit. Christopher Reeve’s Evil Superman costume from Superman III (1983) is screen- and photo-matched, and is expected to fetch £130,000–£260,000. The darker costume recalls the film’s memorable storyline in which Superman falls under the influence of synthetic kryptonite.

Fantasy TV is represented by two important pieces from Game of Thrones. Jon Snow’s hero Longclaw sword, used by Kit Harington throughout all eight seasons of the series, carries an estimate of £50,000–£100,000. The sword, with its distinctive direwolf pommel, became closely associated with Jon’s journey from the Night’s Watch to the centre of the battle for Westeros.

Also available is Daenerys Targaryen’s Drogon dragon egg, one of the three gifted to Emilia Clarke’s character before the birth of her dragons. It’s estimated at £20,000–£40,000.

Cult favourites and a touch of pop royalty

The catalogue reaches further back into action cinema with Conan’s Atlantean Sword from John Milius’ Conan the Barbarian (1982). The weapon, associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s defining early role, has an estimate of £75,000–£150,000.

There’s also an opportunity to own part of the distinctive visual identity of V for Vendetta (2005). V’s screen-matched hero costume and mask, accompanied by a set of six knives, are estimated at £75,000–£150,000. The Guy Fawkes-inspired mask became an instantly recognisable image, extending well beyond the film itself into popular culture and political iconography.

Music fans have something to look forward to, too. Madonna’s costume from Who’s That Girl (1987), including a screen-matched skirt, comes from the Deborah Scott Collection and carries an estimate of £15,000–£30,000.

Propstore will hold a public exhibition at The Cumberland Hotel in London from November 19–22 2026, giving fans and prospective bidders an opportunity to view selected lots before the auction.
