Joe Burrow apparently bought the actual Batmobile for $2.9 million

Joe Burrow is now Batman. Those are the rules.

Joe Burrow has too much money and too much time on his hands.

That’s the only explanation you could give for why he thought it necessary to purchase the Batmobile from Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy for a hefty $2.9 million (!!!).

But, honestly, more power to him. You really don’t need an explanation. This doesn’t have to be necessary. It’s just cool. Super cool. And when you sign a $275 million deal, you might as well.

What kid hasn’t wanted to drive the real Batmobile, right? And, even further, once you see the Batmobile from Nolan’s Batman movies (which is basically a tank — let’s be real) that kind of becomes thee Batmobile.

If you get a chance to buy it and you have the money, why not? That’s what Joe Burrow did. And his Bengals teammates are impressed.

During the premiere of HBO’s Hard Knocks: In Season, Burrow told his homies about his purchase, and they were all super impressed. Because, of course, they were. It’s the Batmobile, guys.

“Have I told you I bought a Batmobile? I don’t get it for like a year, but I bought one,” Burrow told Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase. What’s hilarious about it is how casually he says it.

He’s like, “Hey guys. Bought a Batmobile. No big deal.” And Chase is like “YOU HAVE A BATMOBILE?!?” which is the proper way any reasonable person would react.

This is the best. Can’t wait to see Joe Burrow pull up to the game in this. I expect him to wear the Batsuit, too.
