Originally estimated to bring in somewhere between $8,000 and $12,000 the signature pink and green suit went for $89,600.

There were other notable pieces of Batman items too, like one of Adam West‘s pinstripe Bruce Wayne suits from the show, which went for $10,000.

Frank Gorshin‘s The Riddler costume went for  $8,000 and The Penguin’s model submarine went for $7,500.
