The three-piece suit, created by Saville Row tailor Tommy Nutter for the 1989 comic book movie, is expected to fetch as much as $15,000 (£10,000) when it is sold next month (Aug10). A spokesperson for auction house Bonhams says, "It might be Batman enthusiasts who want the suit, or collectors of Tommy Nutter. There is a crossover of interest." Nutter became famous for his classic suits, which were also worn by The Beatles on the cover of their Abbey Road album.

Jack said: "It was a very singular relationship I had with him, like nobody else. We were soulmates in a way. I really miss him." Other famous faces to attend to the memorial service included actors Dean Stockwell and Val Kilmer. Dennis' brothers and son Henry Lee acted as pallbearers, carrying his coffin to and from the church. Guests were flown out two private planes from Los Angeles. Dennis Hopper - who also had three daughters, Marin, Ruthiana and Galen - died on Saturday (29 May 2010) at his Californian home after losing his battle against prostate cancer.  He was surrounded by family and friends for his final moments. Hopper was married five times during his lifetime, and in the final months before his death he was embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with his wife of 14 years Victoria Duffy, mother of seven-year-old Galen. During the divorce Victoria alleged the actor's three children from previous marriages had turned him against her and wanted her to be cut from his will. The legal battle became so acrimonious Hopper applied for a court order to keep his 42-year-old spouse at least 10ft away from him to eliminate unnecessary stress. On the photo you see Jack Nicholson signing autographs for fans at the ceremony where Dennis Hopper gets honored with the 2,403rd Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, California on March 26, 2010.

Jack Nicholson's daughter used to consider him as a "shadow" hanging over her. Jennifer Nicholson - daughter of Jack and actress Sandra Knight - admits she had a tough time as a child growing up in Los Angeles because of her father's fame. Jennifer says: "I went to a very strict private school in Los Angeles and it felt like a shadow hanging over me, as if another person - my dad - was tied to me. If someone found out who he was, there would be a sudden silence because back then he was considered a bit of a wild character. These days he's not, he's calmed down." In addition to being burdened with his fame, Jennifer, 46, also took issue with his love of young girlfriends. Jennifer says: "At first they were very old, then they were exactly my age - that was the worst for me - and they're my sister's age! As we all know, fame's a strange and painful thing and I've learnt to forgot all that stuff, to do the best for my children and express my creativity as honestly as I can while expecting nothing in return; no outside validation, just my own personal sense of satisfaction." However, Jennifer - who has sons 13-year-old Sean and 10-year-old Duke - does think her 73-year-old father is a "fantastic person". Jennifer says: "He's the best. He's had a long career because his honour and integrity inform his decisions, not what sells. Lots of his colleagues ask him for advice, especially the younger ones. On top of that he's intelligent, generous and has great respect for women. He's a fantastic person."   jennifer-nicholson-about-her-dad Sun, 30 May 2010 08:56:41 GMT http://www.jack-nicholson.info/news/jack-nicholson-asks-jessica-simpson-on-a-date Jack Nicholson has proved he's still a ladies' man, by asking buxom pop star Jessica Simpson on a date. Jack has been linked to a number of actresses and models over the years, including Lara Flynn Boyle, Anjelica Huston and Michelle Phillips, and has fathered six children with different women.   But the Hollywood Lothario hasn't slowed down since turning 73 last month - he's reportedly invited 29-year-old singer Simpson to join him for an evening together.   Simpson, who declined the offer, tells Britain's The Sun, "I have no idea how Jack got my number as we've never met. He asked if I wanted to go to his Beverly Hills house for dinner." jack-nicholson-asks-jessica-simpson-on-a-date Sat, 29 May 2010 15:20:19 GMT http://www.jack-nicholson.info/news/jack-nicholson-waves-green-flag-at-indy-500 Jack Nicholson will wave the green flag at the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500.
