Summary: Awful, awful movie
Review: There is no way anyone should have let this movie see the light of day. This is one of those MST3K movies that is so bad that not even Mike and the bots can save it. Although, it does have it's funny moments that make this purchase worthwhile. Make sure you're already in a silly mood before watching this one, because if you're looking for this to cheer you up in any way, it isn't going to work. You'll most likely be hunting down the director of The Wild World of Batwoman and demanding two hours of your life back.

Summary: What Exactly WAS The Target Audience Here Anyway?
Review: Is this a film for the 'Teens? Is it for superhero fans? Is it maybe for oh.. say, tuna? The last one may be the closest one to hit the mark, but even tuna missed out. It's for the best, actually.. I doubt tuna cares much to see middle-aged women with odd medallions kinda..pretty much.. just..well... look at Batwoman's chest.
The best part of this film is the fact that no money whatsoever was made from it's production, and that those involved lived a great life in the performing arts field.. behind the scenes, on the phone alot i'd assume, contacting those poor souls that think they're giving money to a GOOD cause... They all at one point probably had Roger Corman on speed-dial.
Batwoman and her Bat Girls are caught up in a plot to..do..something.. with some villain named Rat Fink, who, for some reason steals his own 'hearing aid' which looks like a ham radio..and then duplicates himself, only to create a scene that SHOULD only exist in an episode of Hee-Haw. If even there.Asians sound not take offense to the dumb scene where, for SOME reason they try to contact SOMEONE usong SOME sort of seance. In this scene, bad "Oriental" speech is heard, using words like 'ahh, so', 'ooh chung chow'..and things like that.
(This film is probably shown to Al-Quieda 'New Hires' to show "Why We Fight".)

Summary: Terrible - in a good way!
Review: It is a testament to the immense talent of the Mystery Science Theater folk that they managed to turn such a horrible piece of rubbish as "The Wild World of Batwoman," into an uproarious comedy, worthy of being watched over and over and over again. The plot is simple. I think. If there is a plot. Whatever it was supposed to be, it seems to involve a hearing aid (a "very large and ungainly hearing aid," to quote Crow), a mad scientist, a middle-aged woman in an uncomfortably revealing costume (and her cult of scantily-clad "batgirls"), monsters, cobalt, soup, guns, and dancing. The whole mess is bewilderingly incoherent, and at the film's climax (was there even a climax?) Mike expresses the audience's frustration by begging for an explanation - "What about the hearing aid?! Am I crazy? Wasn't that the PLOT?!" During the final scene of the movie, Tom loses it altogether, screaming "END!! END!!" The movie is preceeded by a preachy short on the evils of cheating, which leads to some cheating-related friction in the Satellite of Love. Luckily, all is worked out in the end, with the help of Hostess Snowballs. If only Batwoman had had some Hostess Snowballs, perhaps things would have made sense in her world, too. One can only wonder. Buy this tape!

Summary: Take a 'Happy Pill' First
Review: This was the first DVD that I bought from Rhino's MST3K DVD series. It wasn't a bad start, but it's pretty annoying to simply buy the same movie which I already own on VHS. The only reason this item doesn't rate more than four stars is the lack of any extras. Golly thanks Rhino for giving us such wonderful extras like chapter stops and menu screens... We should be glad (I don't know why) that this is one of the DVDs that at least has the UnMST'ed version of the movie. To add insult to injury they add a bunch of ... ads to the intro, but at least I'm sure you can skip these. Another thing that could be seen as a negative is the Cheating short. While this is one of the best shorts MST3K has, I've already seen it a bajillion times on the first Shorts compilation Rhino released. But this is more the fault of Rhino not planning the Shorts compilations well enough (like there being no Mr. B Natural...what's up with that?) If you look at this DVD compared to any other it rates very highly. But when compared with other MST3K episodes it is just mediocre. This is odd because this movie has more 'wacky' plot elements than any other MST'ed movie. But it is SO DULL. You'd think there'd be enough entertainment with go-go dancing vigilantes, mindblowing chemical substances, a fifty year old burlesque show veteran/crimefighter, molemen, atomic hearing aids, a mad scientist, a mugging Igor wannabe, etc etc; however this MST movie is probably the one most likely to put you to sleep. If this is your first exposure to Mystery Science Theater 3000, I'd recommend Skydivers, I Accuse My Parents, or Angels Revenge.

Summary: Perfectly moronic movie fun with the 'bots
Review: I watched this again last night,and found myself laughing uproariously at the cleverness and wit of Mike and the 'bots.The movie is completely devoid of plot,and the acting is akin to those actors who ruled Ed Wood's world during the 50's.Batwoman's costume is hysterical,and her"batgirls" do nothing but jiggle and shake throughout the movie.In between,there is some inane dialogue.But,of course,the best part of the whole sordid mess is the running commentary of Mike and the 'bots.As an added bonus,we are treated to one of the infamous shorts,this one entitled"Cheating," which in itself is worth the money.Mike,Servo,Crow and Gypsy all have a ball with their little skit about the consequences of cheating.You simply have not lived until you hear gentle Gypsy screaming for Crow's death.You must see this movie if you are a beginning fan of MST3K,or if you are a seasoned fanatic,such as I.

Summary: MST3K BLOWS!
Review: ... I love this movie because it is unique. Unlike a lot of contemporary movies this film is interesting and unpretentious. The costumes are rediculous. The acting is moronic. This movie has no redeeming value at all which is exactly why you should watch it! There are jiggley vampire girls, cheesey rock music, and a story that a four year old could have written. It is an accidental classic of B-movie magic! Making fun of this movie is like picking on a small child. Enjoy this work of art!!!

Summary: Uh, that's the Wild WILD World of Batwoman, I think.
Review: This is the movie that makes you really wonder what the hell was going through the minds of people in Hollywood power during the '60's. A 60 year old woman protects the coast from overweight dumpy guys dressed like Zorro using the only weapon available during the '60's, dancing women dressed in bikinis. This movie is like an old lady driving a dump truck through a victoria secret store. Or as Crow put it, "Some on just put a bunch of movies in a blender and hit mix." The Mad Scientist (Which I swear looks a lot like Dr. Forrester, I'm sure much to the chagrin of the MST cast) and his monkey boy are just a completely odd concept. As the Doctor routinely forces every human trapped within his home to take happy pills, and monkey boy paws around on everything. For most of the movie I did not wish a painful death upon them, that was until that kiss at the end. That scene was enough to give me night tremors. Throw in the fact that "Batwoman" flat out stole a bunch of scenes from "Mole People" (I'm, sure to keep costs down) and it's a real wonder that humanity was able to even survive on to the '70's. All of this mess makes for a real enjoyable MST3K episode. I love this one a million times more than Mike's first outing in "The Brain (Head) That Wouldn't Die." The short on Cheating is pure gold and if I hadn't have already gotten it on the Shorts tape Batwoman would have been worth getting for just that. Flat out, if you want to get an early Mike episode and have to choose between "The Brain that Wouldn't Die" and "Batwoman" I recommend Batwoman if for nothing more than all of the insanity which makes for some great jokes from those three little shadows.

Summary: Proof that there's life after divorce
Review: The pundits, critics, and other self-appointed experts said Gladys Batwoman would fade into obscurity after her nasty divorce from Mr. Batman. Boy did she ever prove them wrong, and this movie proves it! P.S. It was nice to see the overlooked work of G. Octavius Neon recognized at last.

Summary: Ouch! This movie hurts even with the MST3K teatment.
Review: This movie is really pretty disgusting. Tons of scantily clad women dancing around while doughy guys ogle them...the annoying scientist-guy.... his sickening sidekick...Bruno VeSota....that endless poolside scene....ugh! I just can't take it anymore! This movie is so revolting that it actually hurts my ability to even watch the MSTied version of it. While movies like Red Zone Cuba, Skydivers, I Accuse My Parents and the rest were really BAD, none were as revolting as this one (except maybe Eegah!). The other reason I subtracted a star from my rating is that this one just wasn't really as funny as your average MST show. Yeah, it had a lot of laughs, but I think that this one was so putrid that the writers just couldn't put everything they had into it. Also, I don't think that the cheating-themed host segments were all that funny (but the invention exchange was great, what with the Atomic Powered hairdryer and all).
Despite all that, I think this episode has the 2nd best stinger (the little clip of the movie they show at the end of the credits) ever. It is when the kidnapped bat-girl bites one of the laughing kidnappers hand and he starts screaming. (The best by the way is from the final episode, Diabolik, when the person says "Is that stud coming?" very provocatively. Very funny, but sub-par for an MST3K episode.

Summary: The feature not it's best
Review: 'The Wild world of Batwoman' is harder to follow than Harvey the Rabbit's shadow. The main plot (which is incredibly weak) involves an atomic hearing aide (Servo: "We'll destroy miracle ear and take over the world!") being stolen by super-villian Rat Fink (Mike: "Look, it's Mister Bill and he's all grown up.") and being chased by scantily clad (Crow: "Shaka-Kahn would be ashamed to dress like her.") super-hero Batwoman and her legion of Batgirls (All: "One nation under Hef,"). Riddling the main "plot" is an almost endless series of sub-plots including, but not limited to: early forms of ecstacy, mole-men, and a horseshoe. The film itself for all it's insubstantialism ("And it will pad the film immensly") has a miriad of really bad characters including, but not limited to: Tony ("I'm grrrreat!"), Dr. Neon ("I'm vaguely European!"), and a mute Barbara Streisand as one of the Batgirls (no, seriously it's her). All this provides excellent feed for the twisted creativities of the inhabitants of the Satellite of Love. But the real draw of this DVD is the five minute educational short that preludes the actual film. The short on cheating ("How to make it work for you...") is the catalyst for the antics that ensue between the inordinbately long 'Batwoman' (Servo: 'Eeeeennnd!'). It features Johnny (appearantly everyone in the 50s was named Johnny) as he cheats using his smart friend Mary for test answers. The film is so grave (Servo: "Eating Hamburgers as the world cries") and pourly acted (Mike: "Want me to make him into furniture?") that it creates some of the best quips the guys have ever cracked. And when watching 'Batwoman' pay close attention to stuff that's happening in the background, it's hilarious.
