BATMAN MASK OF THE PHANTASM, A 5-STAR CLASSIC OF THE WBFE (WARNER BROS FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT). BATMAN FANS, FORCE YOURSELVES TO GET THIS, IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE BATMAN FILMS! IT'LL BE YOUR'S, TOO!
THIS MOVIE BRINGS BACK SO MANY FANTASTIC MEMORIES, I'D WATCH IT EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

Shirley Walker truly was a master composer. I've listened to this score many times and it still surprises me. The sound quality is a little iffy (numerous popping sounds due to analog source material, I'm guessing) but it's not at all distracting.

Batman Mask of the Phantasm (1993) is one of those better cartoon series with way more excitement and adventure than many of the live action Batman movies of the post Tim Burton era (except for Batman Begins and Dark Knight of course).
Who is the Phantasm? And why is the D.A. so intent on labeling the Bat as an evil vigilante. Even the Joker didn't believe it.
Batman confronts who he is and why he is; how love, though strong, is not stronger than the duty to his parents, to Gotham.
The animation was realistic and spot-on. Bruce Timm did a great job in co-producing, and I didn't know that Paul Dini (Elfquest comics) had a hand in the script.
Mark Hamill (Star Wars) does a great voice-over as the maniacal, cackling Joker!
The DVD is very barebones, with English and French subtitles, a scene selector and a film trailer.
Bruce Timm had a hand in other great DC animation:
Batman Collection DVD 3-Pack (Mask of the Phantasm / SubZero / Return of the Joker)
Superman: Doomsday
Justice League Unlimited - Season One (DC Comics Classic Collection)

I missed this movie when it first came out. Within the last few years, I've gotten back into watching my favorite cartoons from my childhood. Batman: TAS is one of them. I've seen all the other animated movies on Cartoon Network (Subzero, Mystery of the Batwoman, Gotham Knight, Return of the Joker). This is, by far, the best.
The story line is compelling & the animation is top notch. We get to see a young Bruce Wayne as he begins his career as Batman. Very interesting. The voice talents have also done an amazing job. Kevin Conroy has become one of my favorite people to listen to.
The only downside is with the DVD itself. There are no special features, other than the theatrical trailer. It's a two-sided DVD (standard/widescreen).

It would have been better if they would have taken an extra 15 mins. and showed the true back story of Bruce/Batman. For those who don't know, they should have had a few scenes of Bruce going to the theater with his parents and Joe Chill shooting his mother and father and the aftermath of that and a little bit of his childhood. In the comics it is refered to quite a bit either in flashback or as a mini story at the begining. In Superman Animated it shows Kal-El/Clark going through his 3 episode beginnings with the death of millions so go figure! Joe Chill was only featured on the episode of Justice League Unlimited called For the Man Who Has Everything.
