!!Tropes used in ''WildWorldOfBatwoman'':
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The Chinese spirit during the seance scene speaks [[ChingChong random combinations of "ching", "chang", and "chong"]].
* CaptainErsatz[=/=]DistaffCounterpart: Batwoman, for Adam West's Batman; deadpan [[TheComicallySerious Comically Serious]] delivery and all.
* CatFight: Over a horseshoe or something.
* ColdOpen: This being ''Wild World Of Batwoman'', it has nothing to do with the plot whatsoever.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: see StockFootage, below.
* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Batgirl]]: Only one Bat Girl is even afforded the dignity of her own ''number'' to differentiate her. And it isn't the one who gets the most attention in the story, either.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Tons, most notably the "horseshoe fight".
** To the point where when this trope actually ''doesn't'' happen (like in the seance scene), you're kind of disappointed.
* GRatedDrug: The happy pills.
* IdiotBall: Batwoman ''knows'' that Professor Neon has a pill that gives people uncontrolled euphoria, but during her dinner with Flanagan, when she sees someone at another table dancing, she shrugs it off and eats a bowl of soup she didn't order given to her by a suspicious waiter. "Hilarity" is too strong a word for anything in this movie, but ''[[HilarityEnsues something]]'' ensues.
* MaleGaze: There are lots of scenes of the Bat Girls dancing, during which the camera usually lingers on them shaking what their mammas gave 'em.
* {{Mockbuster}}: A surprisingly early example.
* MookFaceTurn: "''This'' boy... has fallen in love!"
* NonFatalExplosions: Eventually the characters end up practically at ground zero of a nuclear explosion, which they get out of with nary a scratch.
* NoSmoking: The Batgirls shoot Flanagan some ''seriously'' nasty looks when he offers them a cigarette.
* PlayingAgainstType: The Batgirls, IRL, were apparently strippers who the casting director found after their club was raided by the police. They play, essentially, an army of superheroines in the film.
** Though they are every bit as effective as you'd expect. {{Stripperella}} they ain't.
* RummageSaleReject: Katherine Victor made her own costume.
* ScareChord: Done unintentionally with a ringing phone.
* SecretIdentity: Averted. Batwoman is apparently Batwoman 24/7 and is even listed so in the phone book.
* StockFootage: Warren used footage from the Universal Pictures film ''TheMolePeople'' (itself not great, though miles ahead of this thing) for Professor Neon's monsters and ElaborateUndergroundBase.
** Some of Rat Fink's footage is taken from an old Mexican wrestling movie.
** The mugging murder scene is almost certainly stock footage as well, since the three Batgirls who watch it are never in the same shot (and don't do anything about it, and the guys involved in the robbery never show up again).
** ...not to mention the "Dwight D. Eisenhower the Weird-Accented Nightwatchman Scene"...or the shot in the club with the band when Mike goes "Oh no! Just when I thought this movie couldn't get any worse...Ringo's in it!". Heck! Any part or shot in the movie that looks good is stock footage.

!!Tropes used in ''WildWorldOfBatwoman'':
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The Chinese spirit during the seance scene speaks [[ChingChong random combinations of "ching", "chang", and "chong"]].
* CaptainErsatz[=/=]DistaffCounterpart: Batwoman, for Adam West's Batman; deadpan [[TheComicallySerious Comically Serious]] delivery and all.
* CatFight: Over a horseshoe or something.
* ColdOpen: This being ''Wild World Of Batwoman'', it has nothing to do with the plot whatsoever.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: see StockFootage, below.
* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Batgirl]]: Only one Bat Girl is even afforded the dignity of her own ''number'' to differentiate her. And it isn't the one who gets the most attention in the story, either.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Tons, most notably the "horseshoe fight".
** To the point where when this trope actually ''doesn't'' happen (like in the seance scene), you're kind of disappointed.
* GRatedDrug: The happy pills.
* IdiotBall: Batwoman ''knows'' that Professor Neon has a pill that gives people uncontrolled euphoria, but during her dinner with Flanagan, when she sees someone at another table dancing, she shrugs it off and eats a bowl of soup she didn't order given to her by a suspicious waiter. "Hilarity" is too strong a word for anything in this movie, but ''[[HilarityEnsues something]]'' ensues.
* MaleGaze: There are lots of scenes of the Bat Girls dancing, during which the camera usually lingers on them shaking what their mammas gave 'em.
* {{Mockbuster}}: A surprisingly early example.
* MookFaceTurn: "''This'' boy... has fallen in love!"
* NonFatalExplosions: Eventually the characters end up practically at ground zero of a nuclear explosion, which they get out of with nary a scratch.
* NoSmoking: The Batgirls shoot Flanagan some ''seriously'' nasty looks when he offers them a cigarette.
* PlayingAgainstType: The Batgirls, IRL, were apparently strippers who the casting director found after their club was raided by the police. They play, essentially, an army of superheroines in the film.
** Though they are every bit as effective as you'd expect. {{Stripperella}} they ain't.
* RummageSaleReject: Katherine Victor made her own costume.
* ScareChord: Done unintentionally with a ringing phone.
* SecretIdentity: Averted. Batwoman is apparently Batwoman 24/7 and is even listed so in the phone book.
* StockFootage: Warren used footage from the Universal Pictures film ''TheMolePeople'' (itself not great, though miles ahead of this thing) for Professor Neon's monsters and ElaborateUndergroundBase.
** Some of Rat Fink's footage is taken from an old Mexican wrestling movie.
** The mugging murder scene is almost certainly stock footage as well, since the three Batgirls who watch it are never in the same shot (and don't do anything about it, and the guys involved in the robbery never show up again).
** ...not to mention the "Dwight D. Eisenhower the Weird-Accented Nightwatchman Scene"...or the shot in the club with the band when Mike goes "Oh no! Just when I thought this movie couldn't get any worse...Ringo's in it!". Heck! Any part or shot in the movie that looks good is stock footage.
* UglyGuyHotWife: The Mook and the Batgirl. (Sounds like a sitcom title.)
* VegetarianVampire: The prologue explains away the "vampires" this way.
* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To The Girls In The Prologue]]?
* WritingAroundTrademarks
