Video: Bengals' Joe Burrow Reveals He Bought $2.9M Batmobile on HBO's 'Hard Knocks'

Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow is channeling his inner Bruce Wayne with his latest extravagant purchase.

During the premiere episode of HBO's Hard Knocks: In Season with the AFC North, Burrow revealed that he's now the owner of one of the 10 licensed and fully functional Batmobiles that are sold by Wayne Enterprises Experiences. According to ESPN's Ben Baby, the cost of the replica vehicle is $2.99 million.

"Have I told you I bought a Batmobile?" Burrow told wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase during a practice last week. "I don't get it for like a year, but I bought one."

According to Baby, the vehicle features "a 6.2-liter General Motors engine that produces 525 horsepower, imitation gun turrets, a smokescreen delivery system and a jet engine simulation." However, it shouldn't be expected that flames will shoot out of the tailpipe the way they do in the movies.

The Batmobile will be the latest addition to Burrow's collection of luxury vehicles. Over the summer, he revealed his acquisition of a fully electric truck called the Lordstown Endurance, which was manufactured by Lordstown Motors in Lordstown, Ohio, and features customizations like Burrow's number and the Bengals' team colors painted on the door.

Burrow is the second-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL with an average annual salary of $55 million, so these purchases are drops in the bucket for the 27-year-old.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much else to celebrate this season for the Bengals, who have a 4-8 record and are one game out of last place in the AFC North. Perhaps Burrow will be able to provide some positive vibes if he fully commits to his Batman persona.

"I think I gotta go all-in and go for like the expensive batsuit," Burrow told Chase.

For now, Burrow will focus on trying to help the Bengals end their three-game losing streak when they visit the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) on Monday Night Football.
