Christian Bale's Batsuit and Batpod are leading a $13.2 million film auction.

Propstore is set to present its Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction from December 4 to 6 with over 1,400 lots of original film and television props, costumes, production material and other items.

Batman's Batpod, which featured in 2008's The Dark Knight and 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, is estimated to fetch between $606,000 and $1.2 million.

The screen-matched vehicle was used in the Joker chase in the second film in Bale's Batman trilogy, and features identifiable marks and scratches on the right hand side.

Fans of the Caped Crusader could also get their hands on Bale's complete Batsuit from 2005's Batman Begins, estimated at between $168,000 and $337,000.

Other items in the lot include a screen-matched Indiana Jones stunt fedora and stunt shirt from the personal collection of Harrison Ford's stunt double, Vic Armstrong.

These have an estimate of $606,000 to $1.1 million.

The fedora matches the descending spiked-ceiling sequence in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Meanwhile, the character's iconic eight foot bullwhip from the same movie has an estimated value of $270,000 to $539,000

Game of Thrones items are also up for auction, with Jon Snow's hero Longclaw sword - which was used by Kit Harington across all eight seasons - carrying an estimate of $67,000 to $135,000.

 

Daenerys Targaryen's Drogon dragon egg, one of three gifted to Emilia Clarke's character, is up for between $27,000 and $54,000.

Bidding for the Film and Television collection will launch on December 4 at 3pm GMT with public in-room bidding at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, London, alongside with global online, absentee and telephone bidding.

On December 5 and 6, global online, absentee and phone bidding will continue at 3pm each day.

On December 6, the Animation Art lot will begin at 6pm GMT.

Propstore is also hosting a special public exhibition at London's Cumberland Hotel from November 19 to 22, where fans and collectors will have the chance to see highlight lots up close, before they go under the hammer.

Batman's Batpod will be on display in the hotel's lobby from November 9 to 29, with private viewings available by appointment.
