Ogon Batto: The Golden Bat (1966) 73min Japanese sound with English subtitles VPN:D ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Evil aliens want to dump an asteroid on planet earth. However earth scientists manage to resurrect Ogon Batto, a superhero from ancient Atlantis.

Japanese 1950/60s SF entertainment for children, that’s nothing new you might say. However, this movie is made well (not worse than similar movies) and I happen to like superheroes. And this superhero is a really special one because he made his first appearance in 1931, yessir, that’s 7 years before Siegel&Shuster equipped Nietzsche’s Superman with spandex and a cape.

I’ll say this is a “should see” because if you (as a normal person) miss this movie, well, that’s your problem, not mine. If, however, you (as a supernerd) watch it, you’re in for a treat.
