What happens

The Wild World of Batwoman is a 1966 American science fiction comedy superhero film produced, written, directed, and edited by Jerry Warren. The film stars Katherine Victor as Batwoman, George Andre as Professor G. Octavius Neon, and Steve Brodie as Jim Flanagan. Several women portray Batwoman's group of sidekicks, the Batgirls. The film is considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. With the popularity of the Batman television series, director Jerry Warren decided to make his own superhero bat-film. After being sued for copyright infringement, Warren re-released the film under the title She Was a Hippy Vampire. Despite its reputation, the film also stands as the first English-language motion picture to feature a female superhero and (notwithstanding made-for-television films) the last of its kind until the release of Supergirl some 18 years later.
