It is considered to be the world's first comic book superhero, and is a precursor to later superhero characters such as the Japanese kamishibai character Prince of Gamma debut early s , and the American comic book characters Superman debut and Batman debut User reviews 4 Review. Top review. Excellent for what it is and great fun. Golden Bat, a year old skull-headed, flying superhero is released from an Egyptian sarcophagus somewhere in the lost continent of Atlantis and flies to our rescue when Earth is threatened by a rogue planet under the control of the dreaded four-eyed furry Dr.
Pearl, and their team, including Emily Emiri Takam , whose bat-pin gives the young girl the power to summon the 'Golden Bat' a child with this kind of responsibility is common trope in these types of stories.
Earth's only hope lies in Dr. Pearl's awesome "Super Destruction Beam Cannon", which the chortling super-villain tasks his nefarious hench-people the feral Jackal, the scarred Keloid, and the sexy Piranha to steal. Giddy stuff from start to finish! This film version of a kamishibai character created by Suzuki Ichiro and Takeo Nagamatsu in thus predating the similarly super-powered 'Superman' by almost a decade contains all the expected elements of a kid-oriented tokusatsu adventure heroic youngsters, secret organisations, bizarre villains, mysterious gadgets, super weapons, last minute rescues, and lots of over-the-top action and is great fun.
Scoffed at by the scientific establishment, the boy is kidnapped and brought to a secret UN base in the Japan alps. He is immediately inducted into the secret program whose mission is to finish the Super-Destruction Beam cannon and destroy Icarus.
The cannon is missing a special mineral for the lens. The team heads for a mysterious island in the middle of the Pacific. There they find ancient ruins of Atlantis but they are suddenly attacked by a strange drill shaped metal squid spaceship. It's commanded by the evil being Nazu who has engineered the collision with Icarus! He doesn't want to share the universe with humans and he really doesn't want the cannon finished. The action is on and the team discovers the Golden Bat who has been asleep for over 10, years awaiting this very moment to save the earth!
Yoshikazu Yamazawa. Review by Lou rhymes with wow! A marvelously silly Japanese sci-fi jam that has a gold skinned mummy superhero just look at him on that glorious poster face off against the worst baddie imaginable; an alien wearing a black tablecloth.
