I hate to spoil this from the start mentioning the Joker. But this is something that has to be done. Every single Batman movie ever made. Either animated or live, the Joker was the best attraction. His character is something that always overshadows Batmans and brings out the best in every movie. Even though the movie is called Mask of the Phantasm(which is a decent character btw). It picks up alot when the Joker makes his entrance.
Mask of the Phantasm actually feels like a Batman movie and not a really long episode. Unlike Subzero which is very good but felt like a long episode. This movie has a very good soundtrack. The animation is the same, but it doesn't lose its dark feel. In fact I think its darker than the TV series. It does have a bit of blood(only towards the end). It also has a bit of murder. Nothing taken to the extreme. It doesnt' have gore but you know a killing just occured.
There is a bit of backstory on why Bruce chooses to remain Batman. It touches on a past love also. It was something new seeing Bruce actually struggling against being Batman. This is shown through some long flashbacks. But it never gets boring.
Batman is blamed for some murders and the Gotham Police want to bring him in. There is a bit of action. Just about what you would see in the episodes. Like I said, the story gets better when the Joker is introduced. His dialogue and ruthlessness just stands out. The voice acting is superb as always.
This movie is a must for fans of Batman. Even if your not a fan of animation this is worth a watch. It actually stomps all over most of the live films. I don't think this is the best of the Batman animated films but its definitly up there.

Yes, i've seen all the other movies & shows on my favorite superhero, Batman (Oh, we can discredit the lame "The Batman" series) & without any reservations i can honestly say the DCAU version of Batman is the best. He's believable in so many aspects (George Gooney should've watched these). The voice alone is so distinct too that anytime i hear another version I imagine Kevin Conroy's tone. Or if i'm picking up a Batman comic, it's the same voice that rings in my ears. Conroy's voice embodied exactly what i have always imagined the Dark Knight to sound like & the TimmVerse animators bring such a perfect sculpting to the character that i really don't need a live actor to take up the suit. I am completely satisfied with this version of Batman & as for the movie, "Mask of the Phantasm" this is for fans of the show already. This is a must-see movie for sure. I give it 5 stars, but to better enjoy it pick up the first 2 volumes of Batman the Animated Series & watch them first to get into this character. You will not be dissapointed with this film or any other of the DCAU Batman for that matter. Great writing & animation definitely put this at the top of my list of favorite versions of Batman (Mr. Keaton was a close second). Also note, if you go crazy over this version of Batman, he can also be seen in Superman the Animated Series, he is a founding member in Justice League the Animated Series, & in Justice League Unlimited. For an aged version, watch Batman Beyond. All titles are very well made & alot of fun. Enjoy!

..i think every positive review on here has nailed it, so i won't repeat what's already been said. This has got to be the best animated movie ever made. Well written...just like Batman animated series of the 90's!

Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) has been accused of the murder of several mafia members. The former love of his life, Andrea Beaumont with her father have returned to Gotham City as Bruce Wayne falls for her again. However there is trouble brewing ahead, a mysterious villain named Phantasm is killing off gang members one by one and The Joker (Mark Hamil)is next on his list, Batman must find this mysterious killer or still be romancing his love.
This is in my humble opinion the second best Batman movie with "Begins" being number one and "Batman 1989" as the third. It's totally one of the best animated movies ever and captures the esscence of Batman in every possible way from his DC Comics roots thanks to Series's executive producer and writer Bruce Timm. It's quite true to Bob Kane's creation and is a well crafted animated tale that's more to adults and teens then kids due to the dark nature of the film, Andrea is a total animated babe and really reflects Bruce Wayne's inner-fraustrations lead to him once she left him originally.
This DVD offers only two extras which is bios and a theatrical trailer but it is a must have for Bat fans.
