Batman's (Val Kilmer) panther suit from Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever. Batman wore his distinctive black "Panther Suit" earlier in the film before it was destroyed and he switched to his silver-color "Sonar Suit."

Batman's Panther suit took some influence from the earlier Burton-era Batsuits, while also integrating Schumacher's unique vision of the iconic Batsuit, with the director comparing the anatomically correct armor to ancient Greek statues.

The cowl included in this lot is originally a George Clooney Batman cowl based on its dark blue finish, more commonly found on the Clooney Batsuits. For Schumacher's Batman & Robin, two designs of the cowl were used: this version and a second version sculpted later in production with more differences from Kilmer's "Panther Suit" cowl. This cowl is based on Kilmer's "Panther Suit" with the slight difference in the neckline shape to fit the cape clips on the Clooney Batsuit. Though mismatched to this suit, this cowl features the same look, with a slight variation to the neckline, and the overall color.

Batman Forever held the title of the all-time highest opening-weekend gross for two years and the largest opening weekend of a Warner Bros. film for six years. Batman Forever was also nominated for three Academy Awards®, including Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Sound Effects Editing. The film received an MTV Movie Award® for Best Song from a Movie for "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal.
This costume consists of:

• An original foam rubber cowl and a matching original bodysuit with a resin chest emblem

• An original heavy rubber latex cape

• A dense rubber utility belt

• A pair of leather gloves with resin fins

• A pair of leather boots.

The belt, gloves, and boots in this lot are replicas added to complete this costume. The costume comes mounted on a display mannequin featuring a painted silicone head sculpted in Kilmer's likeness, and mounted to a styrofoam base with a foam core film plaque. This lot shows evidence of cracking material on the cowl. Dimensions: 27" x 24" x 77" (68.75 cm x 61 cm x 195.75 cm)
