airline with "Batman" callsign?

i was flying last night and heard an aircraft with the callsign "Batman 5".It wasn't military (because the pilot was coming into our local business/GA airport direct from Nice,France,over 11 hours away,and no military acft go into this field).I think it was either a Gulfstream V or Global.Anybody have an idea who this airline/operator is?

I believe it belongs to a company called "G5 Executive", operating a G5, a Legacy and a 125.

Many moons ago Ratioflug in Germany (operation out of FRA) owned the "Batman" callsign and DO227, F27, Learjets and other aeroplanes could be found on the AOC until bankruptcy forced the just started and all to euphoristic A300 operation to return to the standstill.... Maybe that at least something was found worth to contribute to the payment of outstanding bills.
There was also a Be99 operation ex FRA which used the callsign "Executive"; this operation survived also both AOCs were closely linked....
