A full half-century before The CW DC Universe, the popularity of the Batman franchise (specifically, the massive international popularity of the Adam West TV series in the 1960s) led a team of ambitious Mexican filmmakers and an Italian model-actress to bring an unofficial live-action BatWOMAN to life… as the bikini-clad heroine of a hybrid superhero/sci-fi/Mexican wrestling/spy thriller/monster movie set in the (apparently?) deeply interwoven worlds of Acapulco’s pro wrestling, reef diving, and organized crime underworlds. Really.

This is The Big Picture with Bob Chipman, continuing Schlocktober 2020 with The Batwoman.
