And it manages to do that despite a tight production schedule!
The Caped Crusader has one of the most legendary animated catalogs out there. So, it’s no surprise that a feature-film based on all that is a landmark superhero movie. “Mask of the Phantasm” encompasses the absolute best parts of the Batman mythos in a way that demands to be seen on the big screen. And it manages to do that despite a tight production schedule! Fittingly, Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy have never been better as Joker and Bruce Wayne, which, given their esteemed resumes, is really saying something. It’s practically a sin that this movie bombed at the box office. But, at least modern reviews rightfully hail it as one of the greatest Batman films ever made - animated or not.
