- Batman, the costumed crime-fighter who prowls the night skies in Gotham City, soon finds there's another vigilante in town knocking off prominent mob figures. Despite the scythe-like blade for a hand, a mechanical voice and the cloud of smoke that follows the figure wherever it goes, the police and outraged officials mistake the homicidal crusader for Batman himself and demand that the city's longtime hero be brought to justice. Meanwhile, Andrea Beaumont returns to town. She is the lost love of Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy who is Batman's alter ego, and was an integral part of Wayne's decision ten years earlier to don the cape and cowl. Now, she is back in his life and is no less a disruption than the return of his old archenemy, The Joker, who has a stake in seeing the annihilation of this new vigilante, whoever it proves to be.
- Someone is killing off some of Gotham's mob leaders in an eerie costume, vanishing and reappearing like a ghost and eyewitnesses insist that it is Batman. The dark knight is now in serious trouble with the police, accused of being dangerous and unpredictable. Hunted wherever he goes, Batman must solve the mystery of the Phantasm to stop the killing and regain his reputation. Meanwhile old wounds are opened as Andrea Beaumont (whom Bruce Wayne had had a serious love affair with in the past) returns to the city. Memories of the past are now preying on Bruce's mind, memories of a time before Batman where Bruce was drawn between happiness and the promise he made to his parents. The mystery of the Phantasm is really putting Batman's skills to the test as the police slowly draw in with no mercy. The answer to it all lies somewhere in the past of both Bruce Wayne and another deadly foe, The Joker.
- Silly animated feature that fits in well with the equally under-achieving movie series of the time period. Based on the surprisingly popular cartoons of the early-1990s, "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" struggles for a story and really suffers from a lack of tone. Murders of high-powered mob bosses in Gotham City point the way to Batman of all people. However, nothing is what it seems as a phantom assassin comes out of the shadows as a crazed vigilante. Batman is suspicious and so are the evildoers (The Joker in particular). It seems that not only is there good and bad in the city, but also a character that toes the line. While all this goes on Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) starts to fall in love with a lovely redhead. The movie is a little dark and disturbing for the youngsters. More mature audiences should be able to figure out the mystery before the first act is completed. Thus we are left with another animated movie that just feels like it is stuck between Saturday morning antics and matinee-styled cinematic principles. The mix is more dull and uninteresting than cohesive and intriguing. In the end "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" does not do enough good things to become a very impressive film (animated or otherwise). 2.5 out of 5 stars.
- There is no doubt in my mind that this film is how Batman should be. Other feature films may come and go, but this, along with the animated series, will always be the true essence of Gothams true crusader.<br/><br/>I simply cannot find fault with this film. It honestly manages to appeal to both adults and children by having great fight sequences, and genuine emotion pushing through by the best voice actors I have ever heard. Mark Hamill is incredible as the joker, and Kevin Conroy IS Batman, why he not in the live action films in beyond belief. The rest of the cast are very, very good and Shirley Walker's excellent score really boosts the film. We are also treated to some good CGI, so many classic sequences that I can't count (the rooftop fight/chase is amazing), a fantastic climax, and a plot that welcomes newcomers while still delivering everything the fans could hope for and more.<br/><br/>I implore you, I beg you, see this film.
- Yes and no. Phantasm is loosely based on the character "the Reaper" from the comic-book miniseries BATMAN: YEAR TWO: FEAR THE REAPER, written by Mike W. Barr; art by Alan Davis, Todd McFarlane, Mark Farmer and Paul Neary. However, the actual character of Andrea Beaumont is original to the movie. Bruce Wayne has been the Batman for ten years when the film opens, putting him in his early to mid-30s. As a comic-book character, Batman's first appearance was in DETECTIVE COMICS #27 (May, 1939). Yes and no. Batman discovers that the Joker was originally one of mobster Salvatore "Sally" Valestra's goons; however, anyone in this film who knew him from the old days is dead by the end except for the Joker himself--and possibly city councilman Arthur Reeves. As Valestra's thug, Joker is revealed to be the murderer of Carl Beaumont--Andrea Beaumont's father. The comic-book Joker was originally revealed to have been the Red Hood--the otherwise nameless leader of a gang of crooks; in Alan Moore's graphic novel "The Killing Joke," he was only an unnamed engineer and struggling comedian. In Tim Burton's film Batman (1989), the Joker was gangster Jack Napier and also (in this film series only!) the killer of Bruce Wayne's parents. In Batman: The Animated Series the Joker's true identity was Jack Napier as well, as shown in the episode "Dreams In Darkness." However later the episode "Beware the Creeper" from The New Batman Adventures rectified this by stating that Jack Napier was merely one of several aliases. Gotham City is a fictional U.S. port city located on the north-eastern Atlantic coast. It was originally a stand-in for New York City, but has also been likened to other crime-ridden urban centers such as Chicago and Detroit. Some sources have placed Gotham City in the state of New Jersey; however, this cannot be considered definitive.In the context of Batman: The Animated Series, the second (1993-1994) season episode "Avatar" shows a map that places Gotham City in the location of the real-world New York City. In addition, the direct-to-video animated movie SubZero (1998) gives Barbara Gordon's street address as Gotham City, NY; and gives a ZIP code (10025) and telephone area code (212) that are assigned to New York City. The current DC Universe version of Gotham City is actually a small island connected to the mainland by a series of bridges and tunnels. The east and south sides of Gotham face the Atlantic Ocean. The city is further divided by the Sprang River (named for Dick Sprang) on the northern end and the Finger River (for Bill Finger) to the south. Tiny Blackgate Isle to the south-east is home to Blackgate Maximum Security Penitentiary. Blackgate is replaced by Stonegate Peniteniary in the animated series "Batman" (1992) and its spin-offs. One assumes that the filmmakers wanted to keep the focus of this story squarely on Bruce Wayne and Andrea Beaumont. However, there are at least two in-film explanations. 1) Dick Grayson was away at college and Bruce didn't want to involve him in such a personal case. 2) The movie novelization by Geary Gravel has Dick overseas, training with one of Bruce's old martial arts masters. One can assume that Harley was cooling her heels in Arkham Asylum during this story. Harley's voice actress Arleen Sorkin did have an uncredited role as "Miss Bambie." a5c7b9f00b
