The iconic purple suit worn by actor Cesar Romero as the Joker in the classic series fetched an impressive $212,000. When combined with the sales of costumes from other main characters, such as Batgirl (Yvonne Craig), Catwoman (Julie Newmar), and Penguin (Burgess Meredith), the total revenue from the Batman costumes reached $989,500, which is over €850,000.
These garments are part of the legacy of the television series that aired on ABC in the late 1960s. According to The Hollywood Reporter, items from the show were highly sought after.
The auction was conducted by Heritage Auctions, which also featured memorabilia from other beloved television series, including Wonder Woman and Star Trek. In total, the auction generated $3.17 million (approximately €2.72 million).
