The Bat Woman
Noble! Bold! Enchanting! Daring! Invincible! Audacious!
Directed by René Cardona
Produced by Cinematográfica Calderón S.A.
A campy, energetic mexploitation adventure that gleefully embraces absurdity—mad scientists, gill men, and a masked female wrestler hero—with tongue firmly in cheek.
When a mad scientist begins kidnapping wrestlers and extracting their spinal fluid to create a race of Gill Men, two cops call in Batwoman to investigate. But when her mission leaves the scientist horrifically scarred, he seeks revenge.
