Costume auctions seem to be all the rage this year:
One of the Superman costumes worn by Christopher Reeve in the classic 1978 movie went for $115,000 in an auction held by memorabilia firm, Profiles in History. The Batman suit worn by Val Kilmer in the 1995 film, Batman Forever, went for an impressive $63,000. Wolverine's claws, worn by Hugh Jackman in X2: X-Men United, went for $40,250. But the main attraction was the latex Alien costume used in Ridley Scott's classic 1979 film. Bidding for it closed at a whopping $126,500!
In all, the auction raised around US$2 million and included other costumes, scripts, posters, and other Hollywood memorabilia.
