Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who told teammates on HBO's "Hard Knocks" he bought a $3 million replica Batmobile, is being similarly secretive.
On Thursday, Burrow was asked if he really purchased the Batmobile from Wayne Enterprises Experiences, a $2.99 million replica known as "The Tumbler," from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight films.

"Can you talk us through how you decided you wanted to buy the Batmobile?" a reporter asked Burrow.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about," Burrow replied, smiling.

There was a lengthy pause as Burrow scanned the room.
"That's the answer you get," Burrow said. Everyone, including the signal-caller, started to laugh.

Much like Wayne, he'll deny until proven otherwise, even if he revealed the news himself.
Burrow told Chase and Higgins he has to wait a year before he can get into the driver’s seat of the replica vehicle, which is only one of 10 in existence.

Burrow even noted that, since he went all-in with this purchase, he should probably get "the expensive Batsuit" to go with it.
