Joe Burrow Drops $2.9 Million on Batmobile: 'I Think I Gotta Go All In'

Joe Burrow is ready to sport a different kind of uniform — one with a suit and cape.

On Tuesday's Dec. 3 premiere episode of HBO's Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North, the Bengals quarterback, 27, revealed he's now the proud owner of a Batmobile.

"Have I told you I bought a Batmobile?" Burrow told teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins during a practice last week. "I don't get it for like a year, but I bought one."

The Batmobile, also known as The Tumbler, is sold by Wayne Enterprises — and not the one from the comic books. According to its website, "The Wayne Enterprises Experience is a first-of-its-kind, ultra-luxury commerce environment that immerses you in the world of DC's Bruce Wayne, the billionaire civilian persona of The Batman."

One of these luxuries is The Tumbler, of which only 10 were created, made available to "an exclusive audience of avid car collectors" for the whopping price of $2,990,000.00.

Burrow, who's one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, falls into this category. The Bengals star owns several luxury cars, including a Porsche Taycon Turbo, an Acura NSX and an Endurance Truck from Lordstown, of which he's a brand partner.

The newest addition to his collection has a Powertrain 6.2L LS3 525 HP Engine with 486 FT lbs torque, jet engine simulation, a smoke screen delivery system and imitation gun turrets.

The Batmobile, which was first mentioned in the comics in 1945, has been featured in several movie adaptations, including 2022's The Batman starring Robert Pattinson and The Dark Knight trilogy starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger.

"I think I gotta go all in and go for like the expensive Batsuit," Burrow told his teammates.

"What if I wore it to every game? I just wore the full Batsuit, Batmobile, to every game," he joked. "I'd go crazy on Halloween."

However, back in October, the football player told reporters at a press conference that he wasn't "a big Halloween guy."

"I'm not into celebrating something just to celebrate. I don't know exactly what we're celebrating there. Just like, dress up to dress up? I don't know. I'm not a big dress-up guy," he said. "I've always been anti-dress code...if somebody tells me I've gotta wear something, I don't want to wear that. That's just always how I've been. I don't know. I guess I'm a contrarian sometimes."

Though he did admit that it'd be "pretty cool" to see young kids dressed up as him.

One person who dressed as the quarterback was none other than Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.

"Touché sir touché," responded in a comment.
