CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Bruce Wayne now have something in common.

They drive the same car. Well, kind of.

Burrow purchased one of 10 officially licensed and fully functional Batmobiles that are sold by Wayne Enterprises Experiences. The latest addition to his car collection was revealed in the premiere episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North" that debuted on Tuesday night.

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

Burrow is one of 10 individuals who was granted permission to purchase one of the replica vehicles. The cost: $2.99 million.

And it has just about anything an aspiring superhero or Pro Bowl quarterback could want in a vehicle: a 6.2-liter General Motors engine that produces 525 horsepower, imitation gun turrets, a smokescreen delivery system and a jet engine simulation (with no flames, however).

If he trolls us with a replica of the batmoblie from the TV show back in the 60's, we'll know for certain that he posts on tigerdroppings.

It's the Nolan batmobile apparently. LINK

Wayne Enterprises—an actual, licensed company dedicated to billionaire-appropriate luxury accessories—has announced it is accepting pre-orders on the Tumbler, aka the Dark Knight’s military-grade Batmobile. Made from Kevlar, carbon fiber, and sheet metal fiberglass, the roughly 5,511-lbs vehicle includes a 525 horsepower, 6.2L LS3 V-8 engine, “advanced software upgrades,” and a two-seat interior

I knew it wasn't a car with a machine turret on it.

That thing won’t even be worth $1.5M after it hits his driveway. After the “new fun thing” factor wears off in less than a year, it’ll be just one more thing that takes up space and needs to be taken care of.

Debbie downer much? The guy is on his way to being a billionaire, I doubt he cares

What else do you think he spends money on? He gets his clothes from a friend who designs and doesn't wear a lot of jewelry or own 20 houses.

I'd rather the Micheal Keaton Batmobile including minigun.

The OG batmobile is way cooler. You could actually drive the original out to dinner or for ice cream on a saturday.

it's a miracle that he got the Bengals to one, one more block or two more seconds and he would have won it

It is a bit different from the electric vehicles that Burrow prefers.


Have the Rodgers-esque gay rumors started on this guy yet?

This isn't a Kia Sorrento, it's not going to depreciate like a normal vehicle. He can hold this for as long as he wants and get his money back.
