AND in Even Weirder Bat Celluloid...

I think I recall the Almighty PERCY TROUT posting up w/ the poster back in 2006, but i'd be remiss if I didn't also submit a tip of the cowl to this little gem of Bat cinema. 'La Mujer Murcielago' (which translates to 'The Bat-Woman') is an awesome looking luchadore-esque Mexican film from 1968 obviously inspired by the U.S. television show.

A day in the life of the Bat-Woman seem to consists of running around town in a skimpy bikini costume, showing off her big boobs, wrestling a lot with her partner Esmeralda, mastering all sports and throwing swinging parties in her beach house.

That said, she still finds time to thwart a mad doctor who is extracting spinal fluids from wrestlers so that he can create a RED Creature From the BLACK Lagoon to take over the world’s oceans. Aside from oceanic world domination, said doctor likes to laugh uncontrollably for long lengths of time and seems to enjoy calling Bat-Woman a 'filthy bitch'.

Looks like fun stuff. Unfortunately, while there does seem to be both VHS/DVD copies of questionable quality floating around the web...no official release to buy or Netflix. After studying the following credits/clips, I think that will amaze you just as much as it does me...
