Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow seemingly denied having purchased a Batmobile after ‘Hard Knocks’ cameras caught him boasting about it to his teammates earlier this week.
Burrow was heard telling wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins he was set to get the $3 million car following news that Warner Bros. will sell 10 of them for the aforementioned sum.
The car will be an exact replica of the Tumbler Batmobile from Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy and will be fully functional, though not street-legal.
Burrow’s teammates were quite taken aback when he joked about possibly adding a Batsuit to complete the look, teasing that he might wear it to every game, or at least around Halloween.
Of course, reporters were salivating at the possibility of at least a few remarkable soundbites, but Joe was not up for discussing his purchase when he sat in front of them.

Joe Burrow Refuses To Confirm He Bought A Batmobile
A member of the press quizzed the QB on his thought process in the buildup to the purchase, asking him to talk the room through his decision.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he replied.
“That’s the answer you get,” he added with a laugh after a lengthy pause.
Sighs…
We would have loved some Batmobile fodder from the Bengals star, especially given that $3 million is quite a lot to spend on a car.
Still, he’s going to be one of just 10 people who could boast owning a Batmobile if he indeed locked in a purchase.
