Bengals QB Joe Burrow bought a $3 million Batmobile

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow leads the NFL in most passing stats. He’s having a sensational year, even if his team’s track record doesn’t reflect it. To ease the pain of being at the bottom of the AFC North, Joe Cool bought himself a present: The Tumbler Batmobile is worth $2.99 ​​million.

“Did I tell you I bought a Batmobile?” Barrow asked teammate Ty Higgens during the premiere of the latest HBO series Hard blows season. “I don’t think I’ll get it for about a year, but I bought it.” He then talked about getting a movie costume for Halloween to match his new ride.

About a month ago, Warner Bros. announced the launch 10 copies of glassesBatman’s signature ride with The Dark Knight. This is a fully functional replica (minus the deployable Batcycle, of course) identical to the car from the movie. Measuring 183 inches long, 111 inches wide and 60 inches tall, the replica Tumbler is as impressive in reality as it is on screen. It even has all the design elements typical of a movie car, from the open design of the front wheels to the active rear spoilers and tractor-sized rear tires. Obviously, the replica isn’t bulletproof, so don’t expect Burrow to go fight crime in the offseason.

6.2 liter An LS3 Chevy V8 powers the Tumbler replicaso that makes 525 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. But since it weighs 5,511 pounds, it’s not too fast. That jet engine in the back is just for looks and won’t cut the Tumbler’s zero-to-60-mph time, though it does make a noise to simulate extra thrust for added excitement. It’s all about theater, folks.

Barrow won’t be driving his Batmobile to Bengals practice anyway because it’s illegal on the streets, which is probably a good thing since it looks like it could kill a Prius in traffic.

According to Sports carthis year, Barrow is projected to make $65.7 million from the Bengals — and that doesn’t include any endorsement deals he has on the sidelines. So he can clearly afford the $2.99 ​​million glass. Will it make up for being sacked seemingly 4,000 times this season, or being first in the league in both passing yards and touchdown passes while still going 4-8? Probably not. But at least his cosplay game will be off the charts next year.
