Do the graphics spell something out which I'm not reading right?
Tell us more about the bat mobile.. Is that a recreation or the original movie one? How does it drive, what's under the hood..

Based on the questions, a little history of how it came to be. As previously stated, I sold the 997.2 GT3 RS Zanzibar, and as Ralph found me a really well speced car, I took it. Specs as follows:
+ Sports Chrono w/track ap
+ XM Radio
+ Fire Extinguisher
+ Sound package plus
+ Front Axle Lift
+ Auto dimming mirrors and rain sensors
+ Light Weight Buckets
Sticker = 144,745 w/gas tax and destination
I wanted to do something special with the car so I was inspired by Porsche's return to Lemans. I had "The Return - Porsche Intelligent Design" livery applied to this car. It is from the 991 RSR they ran at the return to Lemans. The process was as follows:
1) Ralph finds car
2) Car is shipped from dealer in Delaware to Wright Motorsports in Cincinnati, Ohio. For those that don't know them, they have been a very successful Porsche motorsports team for some time, everything from club racing to Lemans. They had a podium at the Daytona 24 last week.
3) The graphics were done by Dan Porter in Cincy, his company's name is MagnaGrafik. He does Wright's graphics, as well as many other Porsche racers and weekenders. He is a perfectionist!
4) Wright is installing the rollbar and harnesses.
5) The wrap guy is starting Thursday and wrapping the entire car in Xpel.
6) Baby comes home from the hospital
I am very pleased with the outcome. To answer the additional questions for now:
a) The livery origin is explained above. The large letters begin the spelling of Porsche Intelligent Design.
b) Sorry, I do not know anything about the Batmobile. I have not been in the shop when it was there, Dan sent me the graphics pics, I am going to see the car post-wrap, I will learn more and communicate then.
c) Yes, the trailer you see is Patrick Dempsey's, his team works out of Wright's.
d) The changes I had to make to the livery, and some I chose to make as follows: No Adidas on the wing end plate, not enough space. The Porsche on the wing is top only, not high enough to see the bottom, the Porsche on the wing is contoured slightly, the RSR wing in straight. The RSR has graduated color if you will on the large letters front to back, I went with one color. Dan did a tremendous job in layout, some letters required very mild modifications due to the diffuser and different body shapes between the RSR and my GT3. I attached pic's of the RSR this time for those that questioned and were not familiar with it.
Thanks - will answer more if you have them
