    I hadn't heard of it and from the looks of it, I guess we won't be able to secure a copy. ;-)

    I presume that EON and DC Comics recieved the appropriate royalties for this?

    What? So if I could get a studio interested to stump up 200m and lure Daniel Craig and Christian Bale I could remake this and EON and DC couldn't do a thing?

    I find that somewhat hard to believe.

    By today's standards I don't think that's possible. And I don't think they could call it James Batman either. But in the 60's, 70's, and 80's Exploitation/ spoof films like this were everywhere. Heck even popular movies of the time got unofficial sequels.

    Didn't George Lazenby do a 007 parody on TV show?

    Well, I know that he did in the film The Return of The Man From UNCLE (1983)

    Also The Simpsons episode You Only Move Twice made lots of references to Bond (including James Bont) without actually ever mentioning anything EON related by name because FOX didn't want to infringe on copyright and 'Bont' was the closest name they could legally use.

    So whilst it's possible to do a Bond/Batman spoof, the filmmakers would not be able to use anything that was copyrighted so that would rule out the use of 'Batman' for starters.

    As this was foreign and unofficial it seems it got away with it. There are many more of these types of '60s spy spoof films out there just waiting to be rediscovered.

    Great find. This seems like a really weird movie.90% of the Bond parodies are really bad so I would assume the same for this movie.
