Burrow bought a Batmobile

[Bengalion]

Probably a long term investment. Is Batman that famous among kids today?

That's cool I was wondering what version it was. The tumbler is really hard to drive though I heard from Christian Bale who was pretty 
stacked for the Dark Night. That might of just been when the wheels came off and became a bike though. Still, love all the Batmobiles
and that is my favorite of the bunch. Met Adam West in Jackson Hole when I was kid and got an autograph off of him, the first Batman.

It's a collectable.  Joe is earning 29 million just this year alone with 219 million guaranteed.  That purchase to him is like someone with an average income buying a bicycle.  He could probably spend half a day doing a 30 second commercial for some company and make back most of that $3 million.  :)

I think it is great that he can enjoy his money the way he wants.  I'd be willing to bet all of us have purchased things we enjoy for one reason or another that others would say is money wasted.  

Heck just the other day someone spent $1.02 on my only fans to watch me eat Skyline.  But looking back perhaps I misunderstood when they said they wanted to see a 3 way.

Ah, gotcha. Maybe that's what I misconstrued as being legal to drive on the road.

Geez, can you find any more buckets of cold water to throw on our fun today??

Well, many have thrown buckets of cold water all over my football season, so turnabout and all that....

Batman is a an automatic franchise.  Marvel made a lot of fun movies about many characters before they lost their way.  DC just makes new Batman movies to remain relevant while the rest of their properties flounder.  People eat it up every time.  Even though Marvel is still the more respected comic label in terms of the general public, I'd argue that Batman is the most bankable character in all of comics.  

So yeah, I think the investment should be a good one for him.

Little chance he ever drives in public anyway. There are ten of them, and it's a lock that only one of them is in the Cincinnati area. Half the city knows he bought it by now. He also just happens to be the most worshipped human in the city since Peter Edward Rose. Joe doesn't love attention. No way in the world he'd take this thing out in the streets.

The Batman was the last super comic movie I've seen. Well if you don't count Howard the Duck that was free on youtube... Lol

True, it is the best of all the so called super hero movies at least on average.

I have all the Batmans except for the 3rd one when they changed from Keaton to Kilmer and the Arnold Iceman one. I even have Batman vs 
Superman but it sucks lol

Have all the Bale Batmans. I even liked The Batman with the Twilight dude which is crazy to say, still was a cool movie. Colin Farrell is insane as 
the Penguin. Cannot even tell it is him when you know it is.

I would have bought an offensive lineman.....

That's the Batmobile?  Damn, I would have assumed that was some lifesized piece of crap car based upon some Happy Meal toy. As far as I know, this scene is the apex of Batman:

Super Bowl Parade? You guys are really trippin' right now.

Ok boomer. You sound like old #19 getting mad that Joe smoked a cigar inside after winning the natty. Lighten up.

Yea, and then hand the contract to Mike and Katy and said here, "A gift from me to you to me" then walked out.

$3M to JB is like $2,000 to someone making $100k.

Meh, could be worse.  He could be a huge Titanic fan.  Talk about something expensive you can't drive around.

Not a stupid decision. Buying a collector's item that is one of ten made is actually a smart investment. I'm happy to see Joe having some fun with his earnings.
