Rene
Cardone directed this film in 1968 after helming many popular Mexican
"Santo" superhero movies. Despite the obvious structural plot
differences, the concept here never had the opportunity to develop into
a franchise due to trouble with the American Batman and Batwoman copyright
holders. This would be Italian-born starlet Maura Montis only
brush with the character (she was also featured in SANTO
VS THE MARTIANS).
Here
is the story of Batwoman, a female wrestler who helps the authorities
stop a mad scientist bent on world domination through the creation of
super strength gill-men. She and agent Mario Robles put their lives
on the line against insane Dr Eric Williams and his misguided mania..
