Batman Returns Batmobile Julien's Auctions For Sale
Nineteen feet and eight inches separates the nose of this car from the trailing edge of its rear fins, and almost none of that length came from a single factory chassis. Custom builder Carl Casper and his shop, Hollywood Productions, cut two Chevrolet Impala frames apart and joined them into one long backbone, then wrapped the result in a hand-shaped fiberglass body finished in gloss black. That body still wears the paint it carried when cameras rolled on Tim Burton’s 1992 film Batman Returns. Julien’s Auctions calls this example the number one hero car, screen-matched to most of the driving scenes Michael Keaton shot, and says it has never been offered at auction before.

NASA Curiosity Rover Mars Dawn Morning
NASA’s Curiosity rover took the frame on August 11, 2026, at 8:30 in the morning local time on Mars, about an hour after sunrise on sol 4,982. Six shots from the mast camera were stitched into one panorama after the files reached Earth. Mission staff left the usual white balance off, so the morning tint stayed in the file instead of being pushed toward the rusty palette most rover pictures carry.
