Description

A winged Bat-man from the lost city of Joba, King Solomon's sacred city of the Golden Bat.

Sound contrived?

Of course, it is. The storyline is from the 1936 Republic serial "Darkest Africa." What makes this serial unique is that the studio introduced a new flying technique for this movie serial, which proved so successful that the special effect was used in future films until the next technique came along.
