BATMAN’S SCREEN-MATCHED BATPOD FROM THE DARK KNIGHT FILMS LEADS £10 MILLION FILM AUCTION

Propstore, one of the world’s leading entertainment memorabilia auction houses, will present its Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction from December 4–6, 2026, led out of London with worldwide bidding. The three-day sale brings together over 1,400 lots of original film and television props, costumes, production material and other entertainment memorabilia, with a combined pre-sale estimate of £10 million ($13.2 million). Day 1 will welcome public in-person bidding at BAFTA, 195 Piccadilly, London, alongside worldwide participation. A part of day 3 will be dedicated to animation art, with 320 lots hitting the auction block. Global bidding is now open, with collectors able to participate via live online, absentee, and telephone.

Leading the auction is Batman’s Batpod from The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), estimated at £450,000–£900,000. The vehicle screen-matches to the Joker chase in The Dark Knight through distinctive marks and scratches along its right-hand side. Also offered is Christian Bale’s complete Batsuit from Batman Begins (2005), estimated at £125,000–£250,000.

Two defining elements of Indiana Jones’ adventuring outfit are also coming to market. 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 (1984), and likely also in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), are being offered to collectors for the first time directly from Armstrong’s personal collection, with an estimate of £400,000–£800,000. The fedora was made specifically for The Temple of Doom and screen-matches to the descending spiked-ceiling sequence. Recognized by Guinness World Records as the “most prolific film stuntman,” Armstrong performed some of the original trilogy’s most daring action sequences, including the leap from a galloping horse onto a tank in The Last Crusade. Indiana Jones’ eight-foot bullwhip from The Temple of Doom carries an estimate of £200,000–£400,000.

From Westeros, Jon Snow’s hero Longclaw sword from Game of Thrones (2011–2019), used by Kit Harington throughout all eight seasons, carries an estimate of £50,000–£100,000. Joining it is Daenerys Targaryen’s Drogon dragon egg, estimated at £20,000–£40,000, one of the three eggs gifted to Emilia Clarke’s character before the birth of her dragons.

Propstore is also hosting a special public exhibition at The Cumberland Hotel, London, from November 19–22, 2026, where fans and collectors will have the chance to see highlight lots up close, before they go under the hammer. Batman’s Batpod will be on display in the hotel’s lobby from November 9–29, with private viewings available by appointment.
