It's time for fans to decide once and for all who tops in the DC superhero world ... by bidding on vintage Batman and Superman movie costumes.

Michael Keaton's Batsuit from the 1992 sequel "Batman Returns" and Christopher Reeve's iconic Superman costume from the eponymous 1978 film are both on the auction block. Check out the pics ... there's even an up-close shot of the original tag still intact and labeled for Reeve.

The Man of Steel "muscle tunic" has a slight edge with bidding starting at $40k ... bidding starts at $35k for the Batsuit. Fanboys and girls can bid online at Nate D. Sanders Auctions 'till January 26.

Fun fact -- Reeve refused to wear an extra muscle suit under his costume, and instead trained with famed bodybuilder and Darth Vader actor Dave Prowse to bulk up.

George Jung is a lifetime criminal who will never be able to reform, according to his probation officer ... but George's side says otherwise.

George's defense team just filed new docs asking for a very light sentence after his latest bust. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, they take issue with the probation officer's scathing testimony -- that Jung's an alcoholic, habitual liar and "no viable vocational or educational treatment programs" can change him.

But George's lawyer thinks probation is enough for a 74-year-old who's no threat to society -- and Johnny Depp's movie, "Blow" continues to give Jung a bad rap.

Justin Bieber had nothing to say -- at least to us -- about Selena Gomez hooking up with The Weeknd ... but he did almost lose his way.

We got the Biebs and Patrick Schwarzenegger at Catch Saturday night ... and as Justin was leaving, he gets disoriented when fans start asking for pictures. You'll recall, he's not that into it anymore.

'Star Wars' fans can rest easy ... Lucasfilm says they have no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher's performance as Princess or Gen. Leia Organa in upcoming films.

The company issued the statement to assure fans they will always strive to honor her legacy, and that does not include using digital effects. They add ... "Carrie Fisher was, is and will always be a part of the Lucasfilm family ... We are still hurting from her loss."

Don't let Rihanna's casual getup fool you -- chick's rocking $5k worth of gear to go with those super thick locks.

RiRi was leaving her NYC apartment to head to the set of "Ocean's Eight." She's co-starring with Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and Sandra Bullock -- none of whom will be wearing anything this dope. Her Vetements hoodie, Gucci socks and Louis Vuitton backpack don't come cheap. We're guessing the hairstyle's for her character.

We know what you're thinking -- that's a lot o' leg for a winter day, but temps hit the 60s there Thursday.

Don't ever dare question Chris Hardwick's memory when it comes to Bobby Brown's song from "Ghostbusters II."

Chris and wife Lydia Hearst were leaving the Marie Claire Image Makers party at Catch when he noticed one of the paps wearing a "Ghostbusters" t-shirt.

Watch what happens -- this is just too hot to handle.

Taraji P. Henson wants it be known -- black women CAN open films in Hollywood ... and "Hidden Figures" is Exhibit A.

We got video of Taraji on the set of "Empire" Monday where she was more than happy to win bragging rights over her new movie, which scored $22.8 million last weekend at the box office.

What's more ... it beat 'Rogue One' by a hair -- it got $22.1 million -- but the 'Star Wars' story was played in nearly twice the number of theaters.

Hats off, Taraji ... and also Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae.

10:48 AM PT -- TMZ has learned Mike Vitar has been placed on an unpaid 6 month suspension from the Fire Dept.

'Sandlot' star Mike Vitar won't be doing hard time for the near-fatal Halloween attack on a college grad student.

Vitar, now a firefighter, took a deal ... pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery. He and 2 other firefighters involved were initially facing 4 years in prison for felony assault.

Vitar will have to complete 90 days of community service and take weekly anger management classes for a year. He also has to pay a $2,000 fine and TBD amount of restitution to the victim ... which will be determined in a hearing next month.

The victim was beaten so badly his pulse stopped and the same firefighters who attacked him had to revive him.

One of the firefighters is still fighting the charges.

Debbie Reynolds died from a blood vessel that ruptured and caused bleeding in her brain ... this according to her death certificate.

According to the doc -- obtained by TMZ -- Debbie's official cause of death was an intracerebral hemorrhage ... essentially a stroke. It also lists hypertension as an underlying cause of the stroke.

Reynolds died in an L.A. hospital Dec. 28, just one day after daughter Carrie Fisher died after a massive heart attack.

TMZ broke the story ... Reynolds was rushed to a hospital when someone from her son Todd's home called 911 to report a possible stroke.

Todd told us his mom was talking about Carrie just before suffering her stroke, and said ... "I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie."

Reynolds was 84.

Vivica A. Fox pissed off the director and producer who made her male stripper reality show possible -- Jean-Claude LaMarre is cutting ties with her after she said gay men aren't welcome at the strip shows.

Jean-Claude put Vivica in his movie, "Chocolate City" ... which led to her spinning off 'Black Magic' into a TV show. You'll recall, she was promoting the show last week on "The Breakfast Club" when she strongly objected to the suggestion gays were coming out to see her strippers.

As she put it ... "Hell no!"

Now LaMarre tells TMZ ... "The comments were out of order, and it does not represent our attitudes toward the LGBT community. All are welcomed." He added, "Vivica speaks for herself not the business or the show."

LaMarre will remain an Executive Producer on the reality show, and made it clear he wants 'Black Magic' to succeed -- he just doesn't want to work with Vivica anymore.

Michael Keaton beat himself down for saying "Hidden Fences" instead of "Hidden Figures" while presenting at the Golden Globes ... but he was dripping in sarcasm.

We got Keaton outside Madeo in West Hollywood after the Globes, and he apologized for the flub he made while presenting a best supporting actress award. Truth is, he's not the only one who combined "Fences" and "Hidden Figures" during the evening.

So, Michael was shocked when we told him his mistake was going viral. The tone of his reaction is pretty clear: Get a life, folks.

1:45 PM PT -- Hiddleston finally apologized Monday via Twitter for the "inelegant" choice of words during his speech. Hiddleston says he was only trying to salute the bravery of UNICEF UK, Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and World Food Programme, and the children of South Sudan when his nerves got the better of him.

Tom Hiddleston is defending his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes ... a speech that some critics say smacked of "white saviorism."

We got the 'Night Manager' star at the Chateau Marmont in WeHo Sunday night ... where Tom doubled down.

You'll recall, Tom -- instead of calling for peace in the South Sudan -- said he was "immensely proud" his show provided relief to aid workers.

Tom's handlers didn't want him giving our guy an answer ... but Tom took charge.

BTW ... UNICEF gave Tom props after the speech.

Fans of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" can own the movie medallion once held close by Keira Knightley ... but it'll cost you almost as much as real gold.

The screen-worn treasure prop is up for auction and is expected to rake in more than $2,500. Keira's character, Elizabeth Swann, wore it throughout the first installment of the franchise ... and that's why the pirates nabbed her.

If you really want the gold-colored medallion -- and you don't believe in curses -- place your bid at RR Auction's site ... it ends on January 11.

Good luck, matey!

Ronda Rousey sucks at acting ... so says Chael Sonnen, who says if Ronda stops fighting, her Hollywood career is over.

Football fans lookin' to bring in the New Year with some extra cash need to listen up ... 'cause Brandon Lang is gonna explain which bets to take this NFL Wildcard weekend.

Lang -- the inspiration behind the movie "Two For The Money" -- says there are two hot picks to go with this weekend ... and there's good news for the fans in New York.

Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher have been laid to rest ... right next to each other as planned.

Family and friends met at Hollywood's Forest Lawn Memorial Park Friday morning to bury the mother and daughter duo ... who died one day apart. Carrie was cremated earlier this week, but some of her ashes were buried in a coffin next to Debbie's.

Some of those in attendance ... Carrie's daughter, Billie Lourd, Taylor Lautner, and Todd Fisher -- who was seen carrying Carrie's ashes in an urn ... shaped like a giant Prozac pill.

The funeral came after a private memorial held at Debbie and Carrie's family compound in Bev Hills, where Meryl Streep reportedly sang a song for Carrie. She's also been tapped to give the eulogy at the public memorial.

#RIP
