A hero Cz75 pistol used in the production of the from the final Christopher Nolan Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. With Gotham City at peace and crime in hand, the reclusive Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) lingers in the shadows of Wayne Manor. But a dark spectre is looming over his city - Bane (Tom Hardy), a terrorist intent on tearing Gotham down, and the Batman with it.
This pistol was used by the cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), aka Catwoman, as the deal for buying her “clean slate” with Bruce Wayne’s fingerprints goes south in a run-down Gotham bar. Alarmed by the sound of on-rushing police a riot breaks out. Selina, using all of her cat-like agility, disarms one of the thugs, unloads the gun and uses the magazine as a weapon before reloading. This hero pistol was modified specifically for use in this scene. The pistol can be seen later as she holds Dagget (Ben Mendelsohn) at gunpoint shortly before being interrupted by Bane.
The weapon is a real Cz75 9mm pistol, built with a blued steel frame and black Bakelite grips. Parts numbers for the slide, barrel and frame are all matching. For use in the sequence, the edges of the magazine port were filed down, allowing a smooth magazine release that, when combined with an enhanced spring in the release mechanism, would launch the pistol’s magazine clear. The pistol has been sympathetically deactivated. A standard release spring has been fitted following the production, and the pistol retains much of its functionality, with a working magazine release, double action hammer, trigger, slide and slide release.
A stunning piece from the production, the pistol remains in very good condition and is supplied with a certificate of deactivation and a bespoke framed display featuring the film’s logo, a signed publicity still of Hathaway as Catwoman, a video display allowing videos and stills to be displayed within the frame and an opening front panel allowing direct access to the piece. The frame comes with a remote control and a UK mains electricity power lead.
