George Clooney’s Batman nipple suit is up for auction and the starting bid sits at $40,000. Heritage Auctions has the costume from Batman & Robin there for the taking from July 22-23. The 1997 feature’s suit has been hotly debated over the decades. Joel Schumacher decided to go in a very different direction for his take on The Caped Crusader. Now, the conversation has shifted a bit as other iterations of Batman have hit the big screen. Also coloring the public perception is Schumacher’s death recently. Now, there are a lot more people willing to reevaluate their response to Batman & Robin especially. Will one of those fans be the one to plunk down $40,000 or more for the Clooney Batsuit? Who knows? But, the opportunity to own a distinct part of the character’s legacy that will instantly begin a conversation is here for one lucky fan.
