  • Queen's Film Theatre 20 University Square Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT7 1PA United Kingdom (map)

Bold! Noble! Daring! Enchanting! Audacious! Invincible!

The Bat Woman (La mujer murciélago)
takes you on a rollicking ride through 1960s Mexican pulp cinema, where lucha libre meets superheroes meets The Creature from the Black Lagoon. In picturesque Acapulco, a series of wrestler murders prompts the enigmatic Bat Woman, played by Maura Monti, to investigate. A deranged scientist is behind the mayhem, capturing wrestlers for his twisted experiments, and it’s up to Batwoman, who is also a coral diver, a wrestler, a markswoman, and super spy, to stop him. Clad in a cape, cowl, and bikini, Monti delivers high-octane action and epic car chases. As Warner has shelved their recent Batwoman film, this remains the only big-screen Batlady to date. ,I>The Bat Woman delivers a uniquely thrilling, action-packed blend of suspense, intrigue and camp, with Monti’s unforgettable performance as the one and only Batwoman stealing the show.
