Bengals QB Burrow Cancels $2.9M Batmobile After Home Burglary

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had planned to purchase a $2.9 million replica Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy, a purchase he initially revealed in HBO's Hard Knocks series. However, after a burglary at his Ohio home last December while he was playing a game against the Dallas Cowboys, Burrow reconsidered and ultimately canceled the purchase, citing other priorities and concerns about privacy and security. The break-in, which involved multiple suspects and led to federal indictments, made Burrow uncomfortable with the public exposure of his personal life, especially the fact that the incident revealed his home location to the public. Burrow discussed the burglary and its impact on his decisions in the new season of Netflix's Quarterback docuseries, expressing feelings of vulnerability and uncertainty about potentially moving. He emphasized the challenge of balancing his high-profile career with maintaining private aspects of his life. The incident shifted his focus away from the high-profile splurge toward more practical concerns.
