The Wild World of Batwoman is an American science fiction superhero film directed by Jerry Warren (not to be confused with another incompetent director named "Warren"). The film stars Katherine Victor as Batwoman, George Andre as Professor G. Octavius Neon, and Steve Brodie as Jim Flanagan.With the popularity of the Batman (1966) television series, director Jerry Warren decided to make his own bat-focused superhero film. After being sued for copyright infringement, Warren re-released the film under the title She Was a Hippy Vampire. Like Warren's other films, it's seen by modern critics and filmmakers as almost watchable. Almost.The film's Cold Open features two so-called "Bat Girls" initiating a third by giving her a Dick Tracy-esque wrist radio and making her drink a red concoction which turns out to be a smoothie (because they're only "synthetic" vampires). Note that this prologue was filmed and added to the movie only after the aforementioned lawsuit; therefore, the three girls vanish from the rest of the movie.Meanwhile, other Bat Girls are busily patroling the city, and one particular Bat Girl is kidnapped from a nightclub filled with her dancing colleagues. This Bat Girl, it turns out, is to be used as a bargaining chip by Mexican wrestler cum supervillain Rat Finknote Not to be confused with the titular character of Rat Pfink a Boo Boo by The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies auteur Ray Dennis Steckler, to coerce Batwoman into helping him steal an atomic-powered listening device. But Batwoman insists on personally verifying the girl's safety first, and Rat Fink complies, allowing Batwoman to rescue her and not have to commit the crime.Whew. That wasn't so bad, now was it? Oh, wait; it's not over yet.Now aware of Rat Fink's designs on the Atomic Hearing Aid, Batwoman alerts the device's manufacturer and arranges for her Bat Girls to guard the device until such time as it can be disposed of. But Rat Fink's goons infiltrate the company's office building using Paper Thin Disguises and drug everyone, allowing them to steal the device and kidnap that same Bat Girl again by the young Mook who has fallen in love with her.Batwoman follows up her failed guard duty with a failed seance, then with a failed search of the nearby beaches — during which all her Bat Girls are kidnapped and taken to Rat Fink's Elaborate Underground Base (where he keeps his Mole People). But Batwoman had anticipated this (somehow) and has followed him here.The film doesn't end here, but this summary does. Because words simply cannot describe the sheer goofiness of that climactic fight scene. Or the Dénouement afterwards. But, if you're brave, you can read for yourself, here.Not to be confused with Batwoman, a DC Comics character. Though, obviously, that's what the producer was hoping for.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page. | |

Non-Indicative Title: "She Was A Hippy Vampire". There aren't any hippies in the movie, and they're not really vampires either. The Batgirl initiation involves drinking "blood" that's actually a strawberry fruit cocktail smoothie, because they're only "synthetic" vampires. | |

Failed a Spot Check: When one of the Batgirls is being kidnapped early on she actually manages to grab the Smart Ball and dangles her arm with her wristwatch (which is actually a comm link). He's distracted enough by this that he doesn't notice for a while, and ends up revealing to the other Batgirls that he's kidnapped her. | |

Funny Background Event | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: Tons, most notably the "horseshoe fight". To the point where when this trope actually doesn't happen (like in the seance scene), you're kind of disappointed. Just before the horseshoe fight, during Flannigan's talk with Batwoman, the two Batgirls sitting to either side of him are mocking his dialogue with exaggerated facial gestures. Look carefully just after the beach makeout scene and you'll see an extra lean over and flip off the camera. | |

Rummage Sale Reject: Batwoman's costume. It's a leotard with a belt, stockings, some sort of pin over her right breast which is connected to her belt with a cord, a half-cape over one shoulder, a bat tattoo on her chest, a Domino Mask, and ridiculous floofy hair with feathers in it. Apparently the actress put together the costume herself. | |

Professor G. Octavius Neon. For most of the movie he comes across as a generally decent guy (for a Mad Scientist) who was unfortunately caught under the thumb of a dangerous super criminal, and there are times when he shows genuine concern for his monsters, whom he treats like children. Then you reach the film's Dénouement when Heathcliff regains his voice and his wits. He reveals that he was formerly Neon's best friend and primary source of funds, before Neon secretly performed dangerous experiments on him to turn him into a gibbering simpleton, apparently so that Neon could have unlimited access to Heathcliff's money. | |

| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_4192763e | comment |
Malaproper: The prologue, where the Batgirl recruits are told that they're "only vampires in a synthetic sense." From context, the word they were looking for was probably aesthetic, which is to say that they are adopting the appearance and stylings of vampires. By comparison, to call oneself a "synthetic" vampire, would imply that they were created artificially from laboratory chemicals. It's likely "synthetic" is meant to refer to the artificial "blood" they drink. | |

Stock Footage | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: Warren used footage from the Universal Pictures film The Mole People (itself not great, though miles ahead of this thing) for Professor Neon's monsters and Elaborate Underground Base. Since the characters from The Mole People show up in the foreground of the scene, a sequence is inserted showing Neon and one of the thugs walking through the cave wearing leather jackets identical to those of the characters from the other film. Some of Rat Fink's footage is taken from an old Mexican wrestling movie. The mugging murder scene is almost certainly stock footage as well, since the three Batgirls who watch it are never in the same shot (and don't do anything about it, and the guys involved in the robbery never show up again). The scene where a man is walking through a dark office and answers a suddenly-ringing phone to assure someone that "Everything is in order." Just what he talking about and who he's talking to is never addressed, nor is the man seen again in the film. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Amazingly subverted with Rat Fink; the mask hides just enough of his face and the actor does a surprisingly decent job of disguising his voice. Played straight when Neon, Bruno and Tiger infiltrate Ayjax's cafeteria wearing fake beards and mustaches. Bruno's, in particular, is little more than a tiny bow tie stuck to his upper lip. | |

Super Breeding Program: Rat Fink's interested in mating Neon's monsters with captive human women. It's not explained why he wants to do this, though, as it doesn't seem like the Batgirls' "ditzy human floozy" DNA would add much of benefit to the monsters. He is established to be a voyeur, so maybe he just wants to watch? | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: What became of the girls in the prologue? Or the mugging-gone-wrong? Ratfink vanishes after the destruction of the atomic hearing aid What happened to Doctor Neon's monsters? They are just footage from The Mole People, but there's no In-Universe answer for why we never find out. As Neon seems to actually care about them, you'd think he would have asked what became of them at the end. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent? | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_8829dfa0 | comment |
What the Hell Is That Accent?: Prof. Neon seems to be going for a stereotypical German scientist. What he delivers is vaguely European (when he doesn't sound East Indian). There's also the previously-mentioned "Dwight D. Eisenhower the Weird-Accented Night Watchman". | |

Super Wrist-Gadget | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_8c43b665 | comment |
Super Wrist-Gadget: Each Batgirl has a wrist radio that lets them contact Batwoman. Also, later in the movie, Batwoman tells them to free their captured allies with a "magnetic-electron device" which, considering the radio is the only bit of futuristic-ish equipment they have, is probably built into it. | |

Faux Affably Evil | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_95b7c400 | comment |
Faux Affably Evil: Professor G. Octavius Neon. For most of the movie he comes across as a generally decent guy (for a Mad Scientist) who was unfortunately caught under the thumb of a dangerous super criminal, and there are times when he shows genuine concern for his monsters, whom he treats like children. Then you reach the film's Dénouement when Heathcliff regains his voice and his wits. He reveals that he was formerly Neon's best friend and primary source of funds, before Neon secretly performed dangerous experiments on him to turn him into a gibbering simpleton, apparently so that Neon could have unlimited access to Heathcliff's money. Rat Fink as well, who acts friendly to people, and even talks charmingly to Batwoman... and then he captures the Batgirls with plans to forcibly breed them with his mutant mole men. | |

| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_9600368d | comment |
Behind the Black: Sure enough, the Batman Gambit works, with Rat Fink jumping out from behind boulders to snatch the girls as they walk past. Except he's hiding on the same side of the boulder that the girls are approaching it from, i.e. the opposite side from the camera. | |

Artistic License – Chemistry | |
| The Wild World of Batwoman / int_c94f1109 | comment |
Artistic License – Chemistry: There's no such isotope as "cobalt 40", as the cobalt isotope with the lowest number is 47. There is an isotope called cobalt 60, which is radioactive, and could theoretically be used to make a fission bomb, which may be what the writers were confusing it with. Near the end when Rat Fink has the Batgirls captive he holds up a flask and claims it has "The most potent tranquilizing agent ever devised in a laboratory" and the goes on to say that it gives him strength and the ability to understand "mysteries that mortal man has never dreamed of before". How a ''traquilizer" would do that is anyone's guess. | |
