Joe Burrow famously had grand plans to purchase a Batmobile, but he changed his mind after a high-profile break-in at his house last December.
Burrow, 28, is one of three quarterbacks who appear in the most recent season of Netflix’s Quarterback series, along with Kirk Cousins of the Atlanta Falcons and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions. The moment Burrow learns that his home in the Cincinnati region was broken into and that he was robbed while playing a game against the Dallas Cowboys out of town is captured on video in the sixth episode of the show.
The event took place on Monday Night Football in Dallas between Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.
In a subsequent interview regarding the incident, Burrow states that he and the team experienced a lot of ups and downs throughout the 2024 NFL season: “Of f—— course this happened to me right now,” “When you’re on cloud nine, something’s gonna bring you right back down. It just felt like the kind of year that it was”
Burrow is then questioned by Netflix executives about if the break-in at his house was the “cause to cancel” his plans to buy a $2.9 million Batmobile from Wayne Enterprises, which the quarterback initially disclosed earlier this year on HBO’s Hard Knocks series.
Burrow informs producers: “Yeah,”. “Yeah, that was, uh, you know, that’s… I didn’t end up getting the Batmobile because I had other things that I wanted to deal with at that point.”
The entertainment company was selling ten Batmobiles, which were exact copies of the high-tech vehicles driven by Christian Bale’s Batman in the 2010s superhero trilogy, and Burrow had been in line to buy one.
