Customer Reviews of Wild World of Bat Woman
Not The Best MST3K, But Fun As is sometimes the case, especially in these earlier episodes, the movie can't quite be saved. There isn't enough here for Mike and the bots to rip on continuously; there are long periods where no characters talk and nothing worth noting happens. As funny as the whole thing manages to be, it lacks the re-use value of an MST3K film like 'Mitchell' or 'The Painted Hills.' You'll probably watch it a good deal less than you might watch a triumph of awfulness like 'The Giant Spider Invasion,' but it is worth having because of how easy it is to obtain.
From "Wild" to mild to... I know not what.
While I enjoyed watching MST3K, I found the show a bit inconsistent. For every two eppies that contained a good load of laughs, there was one that had a decent amount of guffaws with a few dead spots, and one that grabbed only sparse laughter. Mike & the `Bots' take on "The Wild World of Batwoman" falls into the some-laughs-with-dead-spots department for me. But the thing is, after watching the opening sketch (which was actually funny, and not just "cute" and corny), and finding myself crackin' up every few seconds as the boys cut down the opening short on cheating, I was expecting just as many, if not more laughs from the main feature...

>Sadly, this was not to be, although it started off fairly well. Our beloved S.O.L. denizens were in rare form throughout the first half, but then their goofs & cracks were fewer and further between down the home stretch. And when they DID come up with a comedic rejoinder, it usually fell flat, or was a pretty good "groaner" gag. It didn't help that the movie's dialogue became less and less audible as it played on, whilst the music track's volume started increasing. Ya know a flicks's not even good enough for the `bots to bounce killer riffs off of when they beg Mike to "please kill me now" about a dozen times during the flick's last five minutes. Also a hindrance was the fact that "Batwoman" became even more of a confusing, nonsensical mess than it already was as it led up to the climax. Sadly, "The Wild World of Batwoman" was one MST3K experiment that Forrester and Frank should have "pushed the button" on well before it concluded...

>Bottom line: if you feel up to it, give this less-than-wild adventure a rent, if only for the "Cheating" short, or if ya wanna watch "Batwoman" all by itself without Mike & the `Bots butting in. Who knows, ya might even do a better job at cuttin' it down than they did! Then again, the mad scientist of roughly European origin and his hunch-backed Igor-looking sidekick are pretty freakin' funny all by themselves; you couldn't put `em down any worse than they do themselves here!

"It's like we're smart, but we're not!"
In one of the two Mike episodes that were wrongly labeled as Joel ones for DVD(the other is The Beginning of the End), after viewing the latest Invention Exchange between the MADs and the SoL crew, which involves Dr. Forrester getting his hair turned into the shape of a mushroom cloud, Mike Nelson, Crow T. Robot, and Tom Servo have to deal with a very bad film entitled the Wild World of Batwoman. And make no mistake, this flick is so bad I wouldn't even want my worst enemy to see it. The main villain, Rat Fink(I won't spoil who he really is... then again, you probably won't care) looks like a bad Zorro rip-off with a ski mask, the girls, for some odd reason, go-go dance almost all the time, and there's the laughable chase scene at the very end of the film that could have been performed better by pre-schoolers. Oh, and let's not get started on the mole people, strange creatures that show up in a pointless little scene and disappear just as quickly. With a flick this bad, you know Mike and the Bots are mercilessly gonna tear it apart.

>And tear it apart they do. Despite this being only his third episode, this is arguably one of Mike's best. The riffing is fast-paced and always on target, never missing a beat. From the lame "initiation" at the film's start to the girls yet again dancing like crazy at the end, Mike, Crow, and Servo spout out some great one-liners, my personal favorite being their "cyanaide pill" lines about midway through. There's also a funny part during WWOB's opening credits, where Mike leaves the theater to make some popcorn! And let's not forget the short "Cheating," a cliched, badly acted educational romp about a kid who cheats repeatedly on tests, gets caught, and screws his life up as a result. "Did Johnny really know the harm he was doing with his cheating?," the narrator asks. Our three heroes give a far better question: "Is he just pure evil?" "Cheating," is one of my favorite MSTK3 shorts, up there with Hired, Last Clear Chance, and Once Upon a Honeymoon, and that alone is worth this volume. The Wild World of Batwoman is a classic MSTK3 episode, and definitely deserves a spot in any fan's collection.
