George Clooney’s infamous ‘Nipple’ Batman suit from Joel Schumacher’s 1997 Batman & Robin is up for grabs.
A starting bid of $40,000 has been placed on the iconic film costume, which is being auctioned off by Heritage Auctions.
“This is easily the most famous – and infamous – Batman costume ever designed, as evidenced by the fact that all these years later, it continues to make headlines every time Tim Burton and George Clooney get asked about it,” Heritage Auctions Vice President Joe Maddalena said, according to a report.

“But to his credit, Joel Schumacher never apologized for the ‘Bat-nipples.’ In fact, he once told Vice, ‘I’m still glad we did it.’ And I am just as glad we have the chance now to offer this piece of cinema history to someone who can appreciate the costume as much as Schumacher clearly did.”
The original design for the nippled armor came from the “Batman” franchise’s lead sculptor, Jose Fernandez, the report noted.
The stunt suit is “expertly painted, finished, and assembled on a life-size poseable mannequin,” according to Heritage Auctions.
“Costume pieces include hero signature cowl, full length superhero cape with 2-cape clips, muscle tunic with signature ‘Batman’ icon on the chest, muscled tights, peaked and finned gauntlet gloves, and knee-high character boots.”
