A fibreglass Batman (Michael Keaton) cowl master cast from the production of Tim Burton's superhero sequel Batman Returns. Batman's original suit was designed by costume designer Bob Ringwood and created by Vin Burnham and co-sculptor Alli Eynon.

This black fibreglass master cast bust was made to visualise the look and fit of Batman's mask and was cast from the first production's plaster sculpt of Keaton's head by Jose Fernandez. The sculpture was commissioned because Keaton was unavailable at the time to be lifecast and was used to aid the visualisation of the cowl design for Burton's sequel. The texture on the cowl seen in the first film was removed in order to produce a sleeker and more streamlined appearance. The bust comprises Batman's head and shoulders, covered by the sculpted brow, pointy ears and scalloped edges of the mask. There are signs of restoration on the forehead and the tip of the right ear is damaged. Dimensions: 38 cm x 55 cm x 55.5 cm (15" x 21 3/4" x 22")

Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000 M
