This contains spoilers.BATBABE is a lighthearted sex spoof of BATMAN. I would give BATBABE a perfect 10 vote, but sadly there were too many tattoos for my taste. Maybe I was in a picky mood when watching it.There is much to like about this movie...PacMan burping music. You don't hear that every day.BATBABE is NYC based, not SoCal. This means BATBABE is not filled with unnatural painful looking overly-stretched chests. There is a lot of natural niceness to see.Some say that the actress who played BATBABE was not comfortable moving in extreme high heels, but I think this was intentionally part of its greatness.What not to like...I have not seen the DVD, but on Showtime the the framing is off. Every actor's head is half cut off throughout the movie. It is like watching a TV in ZOOM mode, but your TV is not in ZOOM mode, it is the way the movie is being shown.Other than the tattoos and skin piercings, the movie BATBABE is pretty much near almost being a masterpiece.As an extra bonus, the first 5 or 6 minutes of this film displays Hollywood's most biting comment yet on the USA drone murder program. BATBABE, made in 2008, is way ahead of its time.

Batbabe: The Dark Nightie (2009) * 1/2 (out of 4) Softcore flick has The Jerker (Robert Mandara) stealing all the porn from Bacchum City so Batbabe (Darian Caine) must defeat him and return the sex to the streets. Whenever you go to watch a movie called BATBABE: THE DARK NIGHTIE, it would be rather unfair to expect CITIZEN KANE but I don't think it's too much to ask that you at least get something "so bad it's good" but sadly that's not the case here. I think there's some childishly funny moments here and there but at the end of the day the screenplay is just way too poor to carry a rather short 78-minute running time. The film starts off with some masturbation jokes, which I will admit had me laughing. They are all rather childish or the type of thing that you'd expect teenage boys to say around the lunch table at school. After these early jokes the screenplay pretty much gets away from the comedy and sadly they also get away from The Jerker who is clearly the best character in the film. I thought Mandara did a pretty good job in the part considering what he was asked to do. I've heard quite a few good things about Caine, one of a number of girls in the Seduction Cinema canon but she didn't impress me too much here but then again she was running around in a silly outfit the entire time. The simulated sex scenes are never what I'd call hot and I'd add that none of them were all that well shot. I'd say Molly Heartbreaker is the standout here and especially with those flame tattoos coming out of her nipples. Those are almost worth sitting through this film for. Again, this here is rather mindless but I'm sure if teenage boys come across this on the weekends then they might get a kick out of it. Lord knows my friends and I did when we were that age watching cheap Cinemax movies.

What do you get when you combine copious amounts of extremely unfunny masturbation jokes with 6 awful simulated sex scenes featuring some fairly unattractive people, save for Darian Caine whose talents are wasted in this (by the way about the chick that plays the spoof version of Harvey Dent whomever thought it would be even vaguely hot to have a flame tattoo on their nipples is something I can't even fathom) and put it all under the guise of a Batman spoof?? Don't strain yourself for the answer. It's Batbabe: the Dark Nightie, hear after referred to as Piece of Excrement.Seduction cinema has proved they can put out marginally competent, somewhat funny soft-core spoofs in the past with Lord of The G-Strings and Spiderbabe, but this movie (excuse me, Piece of Excrement) lacks three things that those aforementioned films possess. The first two belong to Erin Brown (or Misty Mundae, if you're so inclined), the third is the writing of Terry West. John Bacchus has proved time and time again that he just don't know funny from merely puerile with this and the equally abysmal IronBabe, Sexy American Idol, and Erotic Survivor travesties. His Erotic Witch Project showed potential, but he's long since squandered it. This Piece of Excrement is quite possibly his worst one yet, hands down.My Grade: F DVD Extras: Commentary by Producer Michael Raso and Media Funhouse host Ed Grant; 3 deleted scenes (2 are worthless, the other is a 7th cut simulated sex scene); an alternative ending (that brings an idea to the table that I hope NEVER comes into fruition: a sequel); and trailers for SSI: Sexy Squad Investigation, Kinky Kong, Cloak & Shag her, Lord of the G-Strings, Spider-babe, Sexy American Idol, & The Insastiable IronBabe

Last week I stumbled across this movie and with a title like this I absolutely could not resist. It is a perfectly ludicrous and idiotic sex comedy, prompting some indignant viewers to criticize it for being a porno with no porn in it, but when it comes to the spoofing of well- known Hollywood movies, the good people at Seduction Cinema make people like Aaron Slitzer and Joe Friedman, whatever their names are, look like babbling, drooling babies flinging their own feces at each other, and really, they did a perfectly fine job of that on their own already. Every movie those guys come up with is like a freight train of crap barreling into theaters with no brakes.Consider the titles. The well-known movies are ones with the most uncreative titles you could possibly think of, Scary Movie. Epic Movie. Date Movie. Disaster Movie. The only thing dumber would be something like Spoof #1. Spoof #2. Etc. Oops, I better stop. I'm giving them an idea for a whole new series of crapfests. Seduction Cinema is now famous for sex comedies that are heavy on the sex and light on the brains, but at least they don't masquerade as theatrical releases, right? How have the "Movies" been making it into movie theaters all this time? These are typical, brain-dead direct-to-video fare if I've ever seen it, and it's all right there in the titles. Compare the creativity in the titles above with titles like The Insatiable Ironbabe, Kinky Kong, SSI: Sex Squad Investigation, Play-Mate of the Apes, and Who Wants to Be An Erotic Billionaire? Sex comedies get a bad rap in the annals of American cinema, but I would like officially argue that it is much easier to have fun with these guys, who are actually including some comedic creativity in between their overtly gratuitous sex scenes, than it is to have fun with the torturous endurance tests that have been making it to theaters over the last ten years or so.The story, should you care, involves a villain called The Jerker (you can guess why he gets that name) who plots to steal all of the porn in Bacchum City so that the populace will face the terrifying prospect of painfully backed up plumbing and widespread blue balls. Commissioner Boredom summons Wendy Wane, a stripper by day and Batbabe by night, to save the city from the perils of pornlessness. The characters and performances are all about level with a bad camp video made by 7-year- olds, but those little kids can't put sex in their videos, can they? Hence, we have movies like this. Mindless and moronic but they are showing a genuine ability to cleverly lampoon major movies, and half the fun is in picking out the different individual scenes from The Dark Knight, for example, that are parodied here. The other half of the fun is watching the sex scenes which, strangely enough, in this particular production go on far too long. I think this might be the first time I've ever fast-forwarded THROUGH the nude scenes and not TO them. But to me, this represents a climb in the spoofing quality, which is not matched in the nudity quality, a trend that lends credibility to the possibility that these guys might one day be putting real spoofs in theaters and saving us from the ridiculous messes that we've been suffering through so far. Although if they are interested in that, I would suggest more clever lampooning and less penis-copters, but wouldn't that be losing most of the fun?
