Matt R GOLDEN BAT is a wildly entertaining amusement park ride of a movie that went by too fast. Golden Bat is probably the first modern super hero, predating Superman and Batman. If you like the MCU, DC, Hellboy, X-Men, MIB, or heck even Santo movies, you owe yourself a viewing of Golden Bat which was also re-released as Golden Ninja. It is a totally wild tokusatsu adventure that gives you the roots of what have come since. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member So fantastically bonkers. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is based on a classic manga by Osamu Tezuka and directed by Hajime Sato, who did Kyuketsuki Gokemidoro aka Goke, Body Snatcher From Hell. It features Sonny Chiba leading a super-science team against a guy in a hood that looks vaguely like a space gerbil with 6 eyes, one metal claw hand and one three-fingered E.T. hand. Who shoots lasers. Luckily, they're assisted by a reanimated, gold lamé-clad mummy man from Atlantis who laughs a lot, can fly, and yells stuff like, "Receive the baton of justice!" It's actually very well made and highly enjoyable, with good music, cinematography and effects.
