One of the great recent finds at a T-Fest, courtesy of Sandy, was The Golden Bat, a 1966 crazy Japanese superhero movie that inspired near Ship or Monsters or Super Inframan levels of ecstasy.  And yept, it’s on YouTube. Also, Japanese junk media archeologist Kenny Lauderdale today released a fascinating short history of the character and his various adaptations. It’s available on his YouTube channel and well worth a look.
