Joe Burrow Buys $3M Batmobile: Bengals QB Goes Full Batman After Record-Breaking Contract
Joe Burrow, one of the NFL's highest-paid quarterbacks, is living up to his superstar status both on and off the field.
Following his massive $275 million contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals before the 2023 season, the 26-year-old revealed a jaw-dropping purchase: a $3 million Batmobile replica.
The report came during an episode of HBO's Hard Knocks in the season with the AFC North, where Burrow casually shared the news with teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins during practice.
The Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy was available in October, and now it looks like Burrow is one of the first to purchase the iconic vehicle that the vigilante Batman uses at night to fight crime.
What Makes This Batmobile So Special?
Burrow's Batmobile isn’t just a collector's item—it’s a high-powered machine.
Modeled after Batman's iconic ride, the replica comes equipped with a 525-horsepower General Motors engine, a smokescreen delivery system, imitation gun turrets, and even a jet engine simulation.
While it won't shoot flames from the exhaust like in the movies, it’s a true homage to Bruce Wayne's legendary vehicle.
For Burrow, though, the Batmobile might just be the start. During the playful exchange with his receivers, the quarterback joked, "I think I gotta go all in and go for like the expensive Batsuit."

Chase and Higgins couldn’t help but laugh, even suggesting Burrow add a cape to complete the look.
A Superhero On and Off the Field
Burrow’s splurge comes after he signed a historic deal with a $40 million signing bonus and $219 million guaranteed.
With his future as the Bengals' franchise quarterback solidified, the purchase of the Batmobile feels like a well-earned celebration.
Burrow even teased the idea of making a dramatic entrance to Bengals games in the Batmobile while donning a full Batman costume.

Why is this purchase a Big Deal?
Until now, there has been no news on who has gotten their hands on the Batmobile or purchased it. It’s important because Burrow might be the first person to have bought the vehicle, and we all get to witness him being the first to buy this iconic machine.
It’s unclear when he will receive the car because he mentioned that he won’t get it until a year, a long road ahead of when he can have it in his home.
But it’s still amazing to see that someone bought it because it is a $3 million purchase, and most likely, an athlete or business owner would be the one to buy it.

Why This Matters?
The Batmobile purchase showcases Burrow’s unique personality and ability to balance his intense commitment to football with lighthearted fun.
It also underscores his superstar status in the NFL, where his larger-than-life persona continues to capture headlines.
As the Bengals chase Super Bowl glory, Burrow’s off-field antics remind fans why he’s one of the league’s most beloved players.
Whether he’s throwing touchdown passes or embracing his inner superhero, Joe Burrow proves he’s more than just a quarterback—he’s a showstopper.
