Summary: Batman at his best, but a mediocre DVD
Review: This is one of the greatest films of all time. It has an intense, suspensefull, interesting plot, wonderfull voice tallent, a great musical score, and a very stylish, magical look to it. And when I love a film this much, I'll buy it on DVD, even if I have it on VHS. Unfortunately, I must say, buying this DVD was a waste because it had next to no special features. The only two were the theatrical trailer and the abilty to switch from standard format to widescreen (the widescreen was a real treat, though).
My message is, if you don't allready own it, buy it on DVD. If you got it on VHS, don't bother

Summary: Definative Batman
Review: Batman the Animated series had a lot of highpoints during its run. It was a time where the Batman films were still hot and popular. Everyone loved the fact that a cartoon finally came along, right after the kids block on television no less, that had some dark, gritty storytelling. Out of everything that came out of that Batman craze, this is definetaly the best of it. The live action movies seemed to be concerned with either the origen (Batman's parents were killed, blah blah blah) which everyone already knows. Either that or he was just fighting villians because that's what he was expected to do. Mask of the Phantasm was compleately differant. It delved into the character of Batman and his past. It's quite simply the best Batman film, live or animated. Warning about the DVD, however. I'm the kind to always look for extras. Aside from one theatrical trailer, this DVD has NO extras. But the movie in itself is well worth getting.

Summary: A True Batman Must-See!!!
Review: Batman: Mask of The Phantasm is a true must-see for all Batman fans. It is an adaptation in which we hear more about the show's two main characters, Bruce Wayne(Batman) and his archest adversary, the infamous Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker, than ever. We also learn more about the most romantic relationship in Wayne's life, the one he was even considering giving up being Batman for, the one between him and the beautiful Andrea Beaumont. In the movie, three notorious mob bosses have been murdered and Batman is the prime suspect, at least as far as most of the police and a gloryhound city councilman are concerned. Meanwhile, a mysterous vigilante with close ties to Wayne is on the prowl for his last victim, the Joker, who was lured into the adventure by one of the targets, his ex-mob boss, before his death. Can Batman, facing two deadly adversaries and the rekindled affections of an old flame, save the day before it's too late? Give it a rent and find out.

Summary: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS
Review: It is a common misapprehension that animation serves only as entertainment for children, that it is not a viable artistic medium. This film does far more than eliminate those misconceptions, it raises the standard of cinematic excellence. BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM is by far the definitive representation of the Dark Knight on film, stunningly capturing the bleak atmosphere of Gotham City and the tormented soul of the Bat-Man with intelligence and credibility. The featured voice talent is spectacular: Kevin Conroy's portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman is an unparalelled tour-de-force; Mark Hamill is breathtaking as the Joker. This is a film which deserves to be seen and experienced. A must, not only for the avid Batman fan, but for every lover of good cinema.

Summary: Animated Batman is the way to go
Review: The animated Batman film -- Phantasm -- and the Animated Series are definitely the way to go for the Batman fan who also happens to be a comic book fan too.

Summary: An excellent follow up to the series
Review: There are so many untold tales in the Batman universe. Most of the stories will never hit TV (for very good reasons). How ever for the animated series this one is the most gutsey of them all. For one thing in the animated series there was never any death. Never. There were many explosions and some pretty freaky stuff, but not once did a character ever die. In the start of this we have two deaths, and later on two more. The villian in this is the Phantasm, a person dressed up in a modern day grim reaper out fit. He seeks out those who have committed wrong and executes them brutally. This set up is framing Batman and thus we have a few problems. Meanwhile in the world of Bruce Wayne a forme lady friend has returned. Later it is revealed that the two of them were really close. Finally everything unfolds in a dramatic, action packed ending worthy of the comics from which the character emerged. THis is a movie that is for everyone. No matter what age this title will impress even the most sceptical of people. Highly recommended.
