Roble in turn quickly contacts La mujer murcielago, the beautiful crime- fighting luchador known to the English speaking world as the Batwoman. So who is the culprit behind these heinous crimes, and why does he/she appear to be obsessed with obtaining the brain fluid of professional wrestlers? Rene Cardona’s The Batwoman wastes no time leaving the audience in suspense by introducing the evil neurosurgeon Dr. Eric Willams (Roberto Canedo)! Willams says in a downcast tone, but is not dissuaded in his plan to create his perfect creature. After the match ends she retreats to the locker room to shower and contact Mario, letting him know that she has not discovered any suspicious behavior.
But unknown to our bat- heroine is that the heinous Dr. Williams has abducted yet another luchador! Without hesitation the pineal gland is drained of brain fluid for use in another awful experiment. Williams laughs manically at this extraordinary feat of scientific persistence, as he bears witness to creation of an aquatic fetus!
Will the awful Dr. Williams accomplish his dastardly dream of creating an army of amphibious mutant fish- men?! Same bat time, same bat channel. Rene Cardona competently directs an interesting hybrid of science- fiction and adventure, with elements of lucha libre thrown in to appease fanatics of Mexico’s most famous masked luchadors like Santo or the Blue Demon! However, there were a few scenes that did make my viewing experience less enjoyable than it could have been.
For example there are moments where the empowered Batwoman is still portrayed as inferior to her male counterparts, which I would have been less tolerable of had the film been released later than the nineteen sixties. Maura Monti, although assisted in most action/wrestling scenes by various stuntwomen, is mesmerizing as Batman’s female counterpart. La mujer murcielago was just one of the thirty five feature length films Monti was featured in during her short six year career as an actress. The Batwoman is a solid 1. It’s just a shame that The Batwoman was never officially released on home video in the UK.
