What do you mean by this and what is it you're really trying to do?

Are you trying to find out which zones have batman.cushopper.com as
their master (primary) server? If so, you need to ask the DNS
administrator of that system. That information will be in the server's
config file, probably /etc/named.conf or /etc/named.boot. That will be
the only place that information is definitely stored. There's no
requirement for anything anywhere else to hold that information. [The
name server's config file is obviously the definitive source of how
the name server has been set up.] If you're just wanting to find out
who/what is sending queries to that name server, turn on the query
logging.
