Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is working his way up to Batman status.
Last month, we relayed an announcement from Warner Bros. revealing that they were set to sell a limited number of Tumbler Batmobiles from ‘The Dark Knight’ movie franchise at $3 million each.
Apparently, Joe Burrow has gotten one and will be one of just 10 people on the planet who owns his own version of the car from the Christopher Nolan trilogy.
The QB was caught on camera telling Bengals teammates Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins about the purchase in the first episode of ‘Hard Knocks: In Season With The AFC North,’ expressing his excitement, though he won’t be getting it for a year.
Joe’s Batmobile will be one of 10 limited edition cars. However, they will not be street-legal.
The Bengals star also revealed plans to go all out with the Batman theme and purchase a Batsuit, which he will wear to every game or just on Halloween.

Joe Burrow Is Getting The Real Deal
Warner Bros. won’t be selling buyers short. The batmobiles will be fully functional and feature a real jet engine. They are built around steel tube frames and boast 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engines firing 525 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque.
They also have four-speed 4L85 R automatic transmissions with paddle shifters.
Owners will be able to set off smokescreens, but the jet engine will not light up.
Of course, Joe Burrow won’t be able to pull up to games in his $3 million car as it is not street-legal, but he could brag about being one of a select few to own one and display it at private events.

In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
