Summary: 4 Stars
You know that scene in The Dark Knight when the Joker breaks into the gang leaders' meeting and shows them the pencil trick? Well, in `The Dark Nightie', this section is spoofed with the Jerker entering a meeting attended by Bacchum City's worst: the Meddler, Rat Woman, King Slut (another cameo for 42nd Street Pete) and Mr. Sleaze. The last named unexpectedly finds himself sat upon the Jerker's weapon of choice which isn't a pencil.
Yes, this is the puerile comedy that we've come to expect from Seduction Cinema with their sexy spoofs. I don't suppose an Oscar will be forthcoming for Rob Mandara whose performance as the Jerker is infused with commendable gusto ("Do you like `Star Wars'? Cos I just love Han Solo!"). But you can't help thinking that the Jerker hasn't got this self-abuse thing quite right as he pounds feverishly away at nothing.
The Jerker has stolen all the porn in Bacchum City and it's up to Batbabe (Darian Caine) to save the day with the aid of her trusty technical advisor, Luscious (Smoke Willaims), and an array of gadgets and gizmos that include paper cups for listening through walls as Batbabe desperately tries to find the Jerker's location, and a rickety old bicycle. Wendy Wane's job as a stripper doesn't produce the financial clout that Bruce Wayne has at his disposal.
The comedy is nicely played throughout as pot shots are taken at every popular live-action Batman incarnation there's been from the camp sixties television show onwards. But, as you'd expect, the main thrust of the story parodies `The Dark Knight' right down to characters questioning Batbabe's throaty voice.
Thankfully, the sex scenes in this movie, while very tame, are better than the disappointing fare served up in Ironbabe. In that movie, Darian's role was too small and Jackie Stevens had to virtually carry the film on her own. Here, though, Darian is obviously the lead, but has good support from the adorable Molly Heartbreaker as District Attorney, Henrietta Bent who flips a coin to decide whether or not to boink her suspects. Jackie Stevens plays Rachel Balls who, frankly isn't very torn about being with Wendy Wane or Henrietta Bent. And, in her first new scene in a long time, the fabulous Ruby LaRocca, sporting a previously unseen range of tattoos, appears in a cameo with Sierra Dream on a pool table. Score!
I can't remember Darian cavorting with men in any of her films before, but a couple of lucky guys get to grips with her in this movie. I'm not in favor of having men in the sex scenes in Seduction's spoofs, mainly because the scenes are so tame as to be risible. Yes, I know they're supposed to be comedies, but they're also supposed to be erotic. Softcore as inexplicit as this is best served with lesbian action only in my view.
The DVD's extra features are a commentary from Seduction chief, Michael Raso which is interesting for us fans of the studio. There's also a deleted sex scene featuring Darian Caine and Jackie Stevens along with the usual trailers.
Hot on the heels of the erotically lamentable, but comedically well turned-out, `Ironbabe', `Batbabe' is something of a return to form with some nice cheap laughs. The sex scenes are a little better than those in `Ironbabe' although not as good as they used to be in Seduction's earlier movies. Sometimes I look at the likes of Erotic Survivor (Unrated), The Erotic Mirror and Erotic Witch Project 2 - Book of Seduction and wonder why they can't produce softcore as good as that nowadays.
