BATMAN FIGHTS DRACULA (1967)

 Here's a superhero film I'd love to see (in contradiction to the barrage of super expensive Marvel films!): BATMAN FIGHTS DRACULA (Leody M. Diaz, 1967) in which Batman and wonderboy Ruben (!) fight the evil Doctor Zorba. Zorba resurrects Dracula from his grave in order to control him (!) and thus fight ol'e Batz.

The film is (needless to say) from them fun loving people in the third world where film stock is cheap and life even cheaper: The Philippines! (and if you'd be wondering if I'm paraphrasing Damon Foster from old issues of "Oriental Cinema" here you'd be right. rotfl).

Unfortunately, as with so many other Filipino flicks, this one is lost (according to Wiki).

But at least we have this old ad-mat and a plot description (also from Wiki):

"The story concerned the mad scientist named Dr. Zorba who, after repeatedly being defeated by Batman, finds a way to resurrect the wicked Count Dracula, control him, and even make him stronger, rendering him invincible towards traditional ways of killing him, such as Christian crosses.

Dracula sneaks into the Batcave and attacks Batman. Batman attempts to use holy water and a cross to injure the vampire, but due to Zorba's machinations, they have no effect. Dracula throws Batman against a wall and then flees, leaving Batman knocked out. When the unconscious Batman is found by his butler, Turko (a character based on Alfred Pennyworth), he tends to the crime fighter's wounds and then calls for Batman's girlfriend and sidekick to aid in tracking down his attacker.

After tracking down Zorba at his underground fortress, Ruben (a character based on the existing sidekick Robin) and the beautiful Marita manage to kill the evil doctor by turning the vampire against him.[1] The vampire then is investigated by a recovering Batman within a cage in the Batcave, and the film ends with Batman lecturing Dracula about justice."
