Avid Batman collectors would surely want to own the Most Expensive Batman Memorabilia. A batmobile used in Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever sold at the Kruse International collector car auction in Las Vegas in September 2006 for a record $335,000 to a very rich lawyer John O’Quinn (September 4, 1941 – October 29, 2009).

His extensive car collection also includes:
