A Batpod Prop Seen In The Dark Knight Is Up For Auction Estimated To Be Worth At Least 80 000

Even though you won’t be able to use this Batpod like Batman was able to, it’s still a pretty incredible display piece, with years’ worth of authentic wear thanks to its having been used in not one but two Batman adventures. The motorcycle-like design was the brainchild of director Christopher Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley, while effects supervisor Chris Corbould was the one who made it into a reality, which is a pretty impressive pedigree even for a vehicle that’s no longer functional. And after all, once you get it into your house there’s nothing that would stop you from rolling it around the block a couple times, if you felt like it. The “Hero Batpod Vehicle” from The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises (almost identical to the one seen above) is part of Prop Store’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, and you can check out its listing right here if you feel like placing a bid. According to Prop Store itself, the item will end up fetching at least around $80,000, so be sure to check with your accountant before doing anything rash.
