did Morrison ever retcon her into the DCU? She'd be perfect for Batman INC.

[Hedji]

That is fantastic. I don't know if I could sit through the entire movie though.

I have this on VHS.

[samurainoir]

I can't remember the name of it now, but I first saw the poster for this in some kind of "Crazy Cult Movie" book.

Was really curious about it.

I've always wondered about this. How did these folks NOT get sued by DC/National?

I have to original movie, the translated movie and the released movie through Wal-Mart titled Las Mujer Murcielago aka Batwoman sitting on my Batman '66 dvd self with The Wild World of Batwoman.

I've seen those posters for year, but never any clips from it. Having seen the trailer, I'm intrigued.

How have I not heard of this--awesome!

Monitor, how is this different from the "Wild World of Batwoman"?

[thunderbolt]

^^ That's a completely different movie, here it is beaten mercilessly by Mike and the 'bots.

To very different movies. The Wild World of Batwoman regained popularity in the the 90's after the Keaton Batman movie came out. It was during this time that studios were digging through there files trying to release anything related to Batman.

Batwoman employs the services of several young female agents known as "Batgirls", in her pursuit of justice. Her archenemy is a masked villain named "Rat Fink". Added to the mix is the President and Vice-President of the "Ayjax" Development Corporation. The company, using plutonium as its fuel source, has created a powerful listening device called "The Atomic Hearing Aid", which allows for limitless eavesdropping. The company has been ordered to destroy the hearing aid by the US Government when the government turned down the offer to buy the listening device (due to its unstable power supply) but the President of the company has refused to do so and now is being confronted by Rat Fink about selling him the device.

The Vice President of Ayjax recruits Batwoman to protect the device but Rat Fink's minions use drugged bowls of soup to drug Batwoman and her allies and steal the device. The two storm the lair and retrieve it, unmasking Rat Fink and converting several of his minions to the side of justice after they fall in love with the Batgirls.

Due to the similar title, the production company Associated Distributors Productions was promptly sued for copyright infringement. Warren won this lawsuit. After the lawsuit and as the popularity of the television series Batman died down, Warren re-released the film under the title She Was a Hippy Vampire.

In 1993, The Wild World of Batwoman was released as episode #515 of Mystery Science Theater 3000 where it was featured with the short Cheating. This episode was released later on DVD by Rhino Entertainment.

Man all the work I do on my site just goes unnoticed, well at least it gets it out of my head with all the usless knowledge.
