Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is keeping tight-lipped about whether he actually bought a $3 million replica Batmobile, just like the secretive Bruce Wayne he seems to be emulating.
The speculation started after an episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" aired, showing Burrow telling teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins about the extravagant purchase. When questioned by reporters, Burrow played coy, responding with a smile, "I don’t know what you’re talking about." After a dramatic pause, he added, "That's the answer you get," prompting laughter from everyone present, himself included.
The quarterback is clearly aware of the viral clip, which features him discussing the purchase – a replica of "The Tumbler" from the Dark Knight films. This impressive vehicle boasts a 525-horsepower engine, a smokescreen system, imitation gun turrets, and a jet engine simulation. Burrow even joked about needing the "expensive Batsuit" to complete the ensemble.
The hefty price tag of the Batmobile replica isn't likely to break the bank for Burrow, who signed a $275 million contract extension before the 2023 season, complete with a $40 million signing bonus and $219 million guaranteed. He'll just have to wait a year before taking the wheel of one of only ten such replicas in existence.
