This isn't that good, but it is kind of amusing, in spite of, and partly due to, its incomprehensibility, but it also has some impressive cinematography, including an unedited 40 seconds-long shot of a car chase on a winding road.
The dimmest, most acrobatic Batman and Robin, occasionally look right at the camera, while punching their way through a gang of thugs killing mostly nude girls, led by a Blofeld lookalike (he even has a pure white cat, and is only filmed from the shoulders down. He's also strangled in the end, just as Blofeld was killed in Ian Fleming's original novel)
The first topless girl is cute, and her scene has an eerie, surrealist look, due to the high contrast photography in that scene, but her dancing is more odd and strange, rather than erotic or sexy.
Turkish Batman and Robin are driving while wearing their normal clothing in one scene and come across an assault being committed, but when they stop the car and jump out to foil the crime, suddenly they are clad in their superhero jammies!
Even at only 63 my minutes, film is still padded with shots of people driving, and (admittedly good looking) girls dancing in empty rooms. Turkish Batman and Robin must have been hanging from the rafters watching one girl strip, because as soon as she is attacked, they fall on her assailants, and proceed to acrobatically beat them into submission. After defeating the last of the villains, Turkish Batman gets that girl, tells Turkish Robin to hit the metaphorical dusty trail, and after he leaves, the stage lighting obviously goes out on them!
Initially, I wasn't entirely sure if this was filmed in black and white, or colour, because at times the footage is so bleached out that it is almost completely white and unwatchable. Apparently, it was filmed in black and white, and poorly exposed, and is now only available in an unsubtitled Turkish print, taken from some old, low quality VHS source print, which has been chewed up and shredded.

YARASA ADAM - BEDMEN is a typically inane and cheesy Turkish superhero movie, not quite as insane as 3 DEV ADAM, although it has a few points of interest. In this one, a long-haired Batman and his sidekick Robin go up against a Joker-style bad guy whose henchmen spend the movie going around beating up and murdering strippers, as well as committing robbery. The plot is ridiculous but the action is plentiful, so if you like trashy Turkish beat-em-ups then you might just enjoy this one. The biggest surprise is the amount of nudity in this, far more so than in any mainstream superhero movie that Hollywood's put out. Weird mix!
Batman and robin explore a forbidden love in this Turkish action classic of epic proportions.the action comes at you hot and heavy and non stop.The main protagonist in this movie is the joker who from the beginning is robbing Istanbul of its money and virginity's.It's up to the dynamic duo to stop the joker of his evil ways and explore a part of themselves they didn't know existed.
