Line #2 YMMV/GoldenBat


1	* CompleteMonster (1966 film): [[EvilOverlord Space Phantom Nazo]] Is the self-proclaimed "Emperor of the Universe", and the mastermind behind the rogue planet Icarus's [[ColonyDrop collision course]] with Earth. Repeatedly having the protagonists attacked by his minions, Nazo steals the laser meant to destroy Icarus and, planning on gaining the weapon for himself, kidnaps its inventor and tortures him for information on the missing lens, having him impersonated by one of his goons and imprisoning the professor. Later kidnapping his granddaughter and having her strangled to unconsciousness, [[BadBoss Nazo personally kills one of his minions for alerting the heroes]], despite accomplishing what she was meant to do, and then holds 4 of the scientists he captured as [[HostageSituation hostages]] so that Golden Bat can give him the lens in exchange for sparing Earth, killing two of them before he relents, subsequently revealing that [[ILied he'll let Earth collide with Icarus anyways]], while also keeping the laser to terrorize other planets.
2	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The 1966 anime of ''Golden Bat'' (named ''Fantaman'' in the Italian dub) is remembered fondly by quite a few Italian people who grew up in the 70's and 80's. The same situation happened in Latin America, where he was called ''Fantasmagórico''.
3	* HilariousInHindsight: Again, the aforementioned [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Lapis Lazuli]] resemblance (whose name is Penny); they both have a water affinity.
4	* JustHereForGodzilla: Yeah, many people watch Episode 20 just to see the [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Lapis Lazuli]] lookalike (Penny).
5	* MemeticMutation: In Italy, Dr. Nazo's "[[https://youtu.be/FbZjjm9Cofo IL MONDO È MIOOO!]]" ("The world is mine!") has been among fans, due to the hilariously LargeHam delivery of the late Italian voice actor Ettore Conti.
6	* MyRealDaddy: There are at least three artists who can claim heritage on being the true creators of Ōgon Bat:
7	** The first is Ichiro Suzuki, the ''kamishibai'' performer who did the original stories, creating at least the original ''Kuro Bat'' series, as well as ''Ōgon Bat'' and characters such as Nazō. However, most of his ''kamishibai'' stories' artwork has been lost, and there's not any recording of his performances other than second-hand impressions.
8	** The second is Takeo Nagamatsu, the first artist of the ''Ōgon Bat'' series (as well as ''Kuro Bat'') who probably came out with most of the original ''kamishibai'' designs, before leaving the franchise for work excess. However, in the postwar years, he returned with a best-selling [[TheRemake remake]] in illustrated book format, which allegedly collected and reimagined the old ''kamishibai'' stories for a new audience. He's credited as the character's main creator in most film adaptations and Toei version spin-offs.
9	** The last one is Kōji Kata, which worked with Ichiro Suzuki making the Ōgon Bat illustrations in every ''kamishibai'' story after Takeo Nagamatsu dropped off. Since he probably defined the characteristic ''kamishibai'' Ōgon Bat art style (as well as his short-lived non-skeletal look in some books), he's sometimes credited in adaptations as the character's co-creator.
10	* OlderThanTheyThink: Viewers that consider Golden Bat some sort of Franchise/{{Batman}} {{Expy}} probably will be surprised to discover that the former predates the latter by at least 8 years.
