BATMAN - MASK OF THE PHANTASM
Someone is running around offing the baddies,
and Batman is getting the blame! It's scarring
some of the old timers, and one of them has
gone to one of Batman's big time foes for
help! This one has flashbacks to Bruce's early
days when he's just trying to decide which way
he wants to go, super hero or just a regular,
very rich dude, and a girl is making it difficult
for him to make the decision!! A-
From an IMDc.com customer
This is just one of the greatest animated movies
of all time. No exaggeration. From the almost
poetic opening sequence, accompanied by a
great, great score till the very ending this movie
will not disappoint. A dark story, darker than
in Batman Returns, but also an excellent portrayal
of Batman. The characters are nicely drawn
(the female character is very attractive looking)
and the voices are perfect. The origin of my
favorite superhero has been overdone so many
times and yet the filmmakers easily succeed
to bring new insight and depth to the man that
is the bat. I feel like I should write something
more about it, there's definitely a lot of stuff
I forgot since seeing it, but this was definitely
an overlooked movie.
