Now I may be a bit biased with this review as I have never really been a fan of Batgirl, but I still thought this was a disappointing introduction of the character. This short film from almost 50 years ago runs for slightly under 8 minutes and features Yvonne Craig as the title character. She reprised this role quite a few times on the Batman television series, but her own series that should be kicked off with this short film never happened. Craig died in August this year, but has stayed in the acting industry until briefly before her death. This film here almost feels as if it is as much about Batman as it is about Batgirl as Batman keeps beating up the bad guys while talking to Batgirl who just sits on a table and does nothing. As a whole, a fairly sub-par effort and I cannot say I am surprised this did not get taken up for a whole series around Batgirl. Not recommended.
