I wanted to but couldn't!

good back-story, and good acting

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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

There really is nothing less satisfying than softcore pornography. The very idea of making an adult film without the actual adult content seems absurd, and Batbabe: The Dark Nightie doesn't alter that thought. The fact that it is also incredibly low budget doesn't help - the typical pointless plot is so incredibly ridiculous, the characters are so poorly portrayed, and the dialogue is so disturbingly despicable that it detracts from the simple enjoyment of gratuitous nudity.Bacchum City is being plagued by the maniacal Jerker (Robert Mandara) who sets in motion a plan to steal all of the porn in the land. He keeps it locked away in his dildo-shaped helicopter, waiting for the townsfolk to become consumed in sexual anxiety. But Wendy Wane (Darian Caine), a strip club mogul by day, slips into her seductive alter ego Batbabe at night to combat the evils of The Jerker and his clown henchmen. Aided by hopelessly incompetent Commissioner Boredom and sexy lesbian District Attorney Henrietta Bent (Molly Heartbreaker, who curiously has flames tattooed around her nipples), Batbabe must summon the courage to continue promoting her standard random ten-minute promiscuities and corner The Jerker before he forces her to permanently retire.The entire presentation of Batbabe is so substandard it practically destroys all chance the film has at being titillating. The music by Trigger Taint is painfully hokey, The Jerker's helicopter is a literally a toy, and the special effects are the most primitive green screen and overlayed images imaginable. But these are trivial considering the purpose of the film, although the sex scenes themselves lack creativity, class, and eroticism. It's chiefly girl-on-girl action, since nudity beyond that would no longer fall under the "softcore" label; they're lengthy, but the inability to show much leads to little amusement.The funniest thing about Batbabe is the riffing of Christian Bale's noticeably gruff and silly voice used in The Dark Knight. Other attempts at parody are so distant from the original material that it's not funny, or the humor ends up becoming generic. A scene with big cartoon words mocks the original Batman TV show, and characters such as Mr. Sleaze add to the stupidity. This is definitely not high-class smut.Mike Massie
