What would a graphic designer, when not creating superhero adventures as a comic book artist, or designing paint schemes for the likes of Hennessey Performance, Scion Racing, Turner Motorsports or Meguiar’s, drive as his personal car? How about a Batman inspired Dodge Challenger? John Sibal’s 2009 Challenger features a black and brushed gold paint scheme, a shaker intake setup, a Zoomers cat-back exhaust and an Air Runners airbag system. In a deep, guttural, slow voice “I’m Batman”. Find more info at Hot Rod. Photos are by our good buddy Larry Chen. More pics after the jump!

Other changes will include an 8-speed automatic and a refreshed interior complete with some of the modern electronics and gadgets found in other Chrysler products (UConnect 2, a backup camera, etc.).
