According to Spanish newspaper Marca, this is one of 10 special edition Batmobiles commissioned by Warner Bros. to commemorate Batman's 85th anniversary. Neymar paid over 1.5 million USD for the vehicle, although the original price was reportedly 2.99 million USD each.

Measuring 4.65 meters long and 2.8 meters wide, the Batmobile Tumbler is built on a tubular steel frame with a carbon fiber and Kevlar body. It boasts a 6.2L V8 engine producing 525 horsepower, making it both a combat-ready vehicle and a pop culture icon.
According to Marca, it's not the performance but the "toys" that make the Batmobile Tumbler truly stand out. Neymar's new vehicle can emit smoke bombs, has a simulated jet engine, non-functional machine guns, movable steering wings, and a two-seat cockpit seemingly designed for "Batman and Robin".
The Batmobile Tumbler is the vehicle used by Bruce Wayne in the Batman trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
Neymar is a fan of the Batman films and even has a bat symbol tattooed on his back. In 2022, while attending the premiere of The Batman, the Brazilian star climbed into actor Robert Pattinson's Batmobile. Marca jokingly speculated that this might have been the moment he decided he needed to own one.
However, Neymar won't be driving this vehicle on public roads as it doesn't meet European registration standards. Therefore, the 33-year-old forward can only display the Batmobile Tumbler in his garage filled with other supercars, alongside his Audi R8 Spyder V10 Plus, Ferrari Purosangue, Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DBX, and Lamborghini Huracan.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Neymar's current net worth is estimated at around 350 million USD. While playing for PSG, he earned approximately 78 million USD, plus 20 to 40 million USD from bonuses and endorsements per season. At Al Hilal, the Brazilian forward was slated to earn 163.7 million USD per season. However, he only received around 115 million USD over six months due to an early termination of his contract with the Saudi Arabian club.
His contracts with major brands like Puma, Panasonic, Red Bull, Beats, and formerly Nike, bring in an estimated 30–40 million USD. Neymar also owns valuable real estate, including a penthouse worth over 50 million USD in Dubai, villas and apartments in Miami, and a private island in Brazil.
