| Superman suit soars at US auction |
A Superman costume worn by Christopher Reeve in the 1978 blockbuster film has sold for $115,000 (£58,000) in a Hollywood film auction.
The sale, put together by the firm Profiles in History, sold more than $2m (£1m) worth of film and TV memorabilia, including scripts and posters.
The Superman outfit was expected to fetch just half the amount it reached.

The Batsuit, which was used in the 1995 film Batman Forever, went for $63,250 (£32,000), with the Alien costume selling for $126,500 (£64,000).
A rare Winkie costume, which was worn in the 1938 movie The Wizard of Oz, was sold for $115,000 (£58,000). |
