Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, has just added a pinch of Gotham to his garage. On the HBO series "Hard Knocks," which now features all four AFC North teams, Burrow was captured sharing with teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins that he's purchased a replica Batmobile. According to Local12, this special edition vehicle is one of only ten made by Warner Bros, replicating the Tumbler model from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

Despite the Bengals’ ups and downs this season, with close games often tipping out of their favor, Burrow seems to be driving his narrative toward something extraordinary. "I don't get it for, like, a year. But I bought it," Burrow said, as reported by WLWT. While performance on the field is critical, Burrow's off-field flair for the dramatic—now possibly involving a Batsuit—hints at a new level of game-day showmanship.

The price tag for each of these Batmobiles, which is drivable but not street legal, is rumored to be $3 million, although the amount Burrow shelled out has not been disclosed. The buzz started when Burrow contemplated on the show, "I think I got to go all in and go for the expensive Batsuit," eliciting excitement from his teammates as Local12 gathered from the broadcast. Burrow even mused about what it would be like to arrive at every game in the Batmobile dressed in full Batman garb.

The Batmobile talk has even sparked suggestions for new touchdown celebrations. A tweet featuring the possibility of Tee Higgins doing a Batman-themed dance at the club after a score was picked up by fans watching "Hard Knocks." According to Cincinnati Bengals, only time will tell if Burrow's extravagant purchase fuels more than high-powered engines. As the saying goes, every Batman needs his Robin—perhaps for Burrow, which comes in the form of his dynamic receiver duo, ready to make the 2025 season one for the superheroes.
