Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow surprised his teammates by revealing he bought a real Batmobile.
The vehicle, called the Tumbler, is inspired by the Batmobile, which first appeared in the 2005 film “.Batman Begins” and only 10 fully operational vehicles, with a reported retail price of $3 million.
During an episode of HBO's “Hard Knocks,” Burrow told his teammates at practice about his extravagant purchases.
“Did you tell me you bought a Batmobile?” Burrow casually said to wide receiver Tee Higgins. “It won't be available for about a year, but I bought it.''
“Oh, for real? That's going to be crazy.” Higgins answered.
“What if I wore that to every game?”
Burrow went on to buy an expensive replica of Batman's Batsuit, arrive at every Bengals game in costume, and expressed his desire to be seen emerging from the Batmobile.
“What if I wore that to every game? I just wore a full Batsuit with the Batmobile to every game. I'd go crazy for Halloween,” Burrow laughed. . “500 [yards]seven touchdowns,” he predicted.

Unfortunately, it may not be possible for Burrow to show off his movie-inspired look at Peyco Stadium in Cincinnati.
According to Sawyer Merritt, reported When the Batmobile replica goes on sale in November, the vehicle will be roadworthy but not roadworthy.
“It's not road legal, but if you have private property or a truck, you can use it,” Merritt argued.
The specifications of this vehicle are very impressive and the tumbler panels rival almost any vehicle on the market in terms of durability.
The body is made from a combination of carbon, Kevlar, fiberglass and metal panels. Steel tube frame, 6.2 liter V8 engine, and a whopping 525 horsepower. In addition to plenty of torque, the Batmobile incorporates many of the amazing features that made it cool in the movies.
This includes the ability to drop smoke screens, one-way mirror glass windows, “mock jet engines” and, of course, mock turrets.
After Higgins said he would wear a batsuit to the club, teammate Jamar Chase jokingly expressed concern that Higgins would disappear from the public eye, apparently trying to make a good impression. .
“I get lost there. [The suit] It’s very dark,” Higgins suggested.
But maybe that's exactly what Batman/Barrow wants.
