Batman’s legendary Batpod has arrived in central London, giving fans a rare chance to see one of cinema’s most recognisable vehicles up close before it goes under the hammer.
Famously ridden by Christian Bale’s Batman in The Dark Knight, the vehicle is one of the standout lots in Propstore’s forthcoming live auction, with an estimate of £450,000 to £900,000.

The Cumberland, located at Great Cumberland Place in Marble Arch, is positioning the installation as a major cultural moment for the hotel, which describes itself as a venue with a long history of hosting iconic figures.
