The Batman and Robin suits worn in the Sixties TV series featuring the Caped Crusader have sold for an incredible $615,000 USD / €570,200 euros
The series starred Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as his sidekick, Robin The Boy Wonder.
The outfits were sold as part of an auction of around 1,000 pieces of television memorabilia originally collected for a US-based museum devoted for the genre that never materialised.
The camp hit series first aired in 1966 and featured several famous film stars as the Gotham City villains facing Batman, aka billionaire Bruce Wayne.
It spawned 120 episodes and ran until 1968 and there was also a spin-off movie.
The costumes were sold together as one lot by US sale room Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.
A spokesperson said: “Without doubt, the Batman and Robin crime-fighting uniforms from the "Classic 66" series are the most sought-after costumes from any era or genre of television! “
They were put up for sale by Hollywood screenwriter James Comisar as part of a collection he had accumulated with the hope of one day opening a museum dedicated to classic US TV shows.

Donovan: 'Can you believe the Beatles and I were paying 96% tax?'. The 60s folk troubadour is on an environmental mission, in tribute to Greta Thunberg. He discusses love, success, Brian Jones – and how drugs became big business
Donovan photographed in London ahead of his new record "Eco Song" Donovan (born Donovan Philips Leitch, 10 May 1946) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. He developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). He has lived in Scotland, Hertfordshire (England), London, California, and since at least 2008 in County Cork, Ireland, with his family. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan reached fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with live performances on the pop TV series Ready Steady Go!.
Having signed with Pye Records in 1965, he recorded singles and two albums in the folk vein, after which he signed to CBS/Epic Records in the US – the first signing by the company's new vice-president Clive Davis – and became more successful internationally. He began a long and successful collaboration with leading British independent record producer Mickie Most, scoring multiple hit singles and albums in the UK, US, and other countries.
His most successful singles were the early UK hits "Catch the Wind", "Colours" and "Universal Soldier" in 1965, written by Buffy Sainte-Marie. In September 1966 "Sunshine Superman" topped America's Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week and went to number two in Britain, followed by "Mellow Yellow" at US No. 2 in December 1966, then 1968's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in the Top 5 in both countries, then "Atlantis", which reached US No. 7 in May 1969.
He became a friend of pop musicians including Joan Baez, Brian Jones and the Beatles. He taught John Lennon a finger-picking guitar style in 1968 that Lennon employed in "Dear Prudence", "Julia", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" and other songs. Donovan's commercial fortunes waned after parting with Most in 1969, and he left the industry for a time.
Donovan continued to perform and record sporadically in the 1970s and 1980s. His musical style and hippie image were scorned by critics, especially after punk rock. His performing an
