Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow just gave fans something to talk about that doesn’t involve X’s and O’s.
In the premiere episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North, Burrow casually dropped a bombshell during a conversation with teammates Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
He’s bought himself a Batmobile. A real-life Batmobile.
“Have I told you I bought a Batmobile?” Burrow told his teammates during a practice last week. “I don’t get it for like a year, but I bought one.”
Not just any Batmobile, but a “Tumbler” from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, priced at a cool $2.99 million.
Insane: #Bengals QB Joe Burrow bought Batman’s Batmobile for $3 MILLION 🤯

Joe Burrow’s Batmobile
The video above is hilarious, as Joe Burrow and his teammates discuss how far the quarterback would go with cosplaying the Batman.
Burrow’s light-hearted banter about wearing the full Batsuit to every game or using the Batmobile as a game-day entrance vehicle would be excellent.
It’s certainly better than showing up on game day looking like this…

Jou Burrow can easily afford the Batmobile. He could buy a whole fleet of Batmobiles. He could probably buy Robin and Cat Woman.
He signed a $275 million contract extension last year.

What Does It Look Like?
Social media has been abuzz about Joe Burrow’s purchase of the Batmobile. People have been speculating about which version he’ll be getting and what it looks like.
If it’s the Tumbler that Wayne Enterprises made available earlier this year, he won’t be able to drive it to games. It’s not street-legal.
This is cool. Warner Brothers is selling 10 replicas of the Batmobile, known as the Tumbler from the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, for $3 million each.
• Bodywork constructed from a mixture of carbon, Kevlar, fiberglass, and metal panels. Steel tube frame.
• 6.2L V8 engine… pic.twitter.com/E36uLDGz5k— Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) November 1, 2024
The frame is made of kevlar, carbon fiber, and sheet metal fiberglass. It also features a 6.2L LS3 525 HP engine with a whopping 486 ft-lbs of torque… and of course, a smoke screen delivery system.
Oh, and it has air conditioning. What more could a masked vigilante or star quarterback ask for?
Much like Batman, the Cincinnati Bengals haven’t been showing any superpowers of late. Despite Burrow leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns, the team is somehow a putrid 4-8.
