Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is the dark knight the way he truly was meant to be. Despite the many excellent incarnations of him, no one ever portrayed as well as the producers of this movie. They're also responsible for the remarkable series, which came out when I was 9 years. I loved it!! Now that I'm older, I love it even more. The series was clearly made for an older crowd. So was this movie, for if I had seen it when I was younger, I surely would not have liked it as much as my mother would have!!
The story is very deep, with many twists and also many mature themes. It also shows an alternate reason for Bruce Wayne choosing to become Batman, which is a broken heart. Batman Begins did explore Batman's origin, however it cannot even come close to being compared to Mask of the Phantasm. NO live action movie to date and in the future will ever match the perfection of this film. Alan Burnett, Bruce Timm and their production team made the most under-rated movie ever. And Kevin Conroy is undoubtedly the greatest actor to ever play the role of Batman. Highly recommended movie!!!!!!! Indeed it is the best Batman film ever made!

This action packed, non-kid-friendly, adult content filled, PG-13 diserving extravaganza is the true "BATMAN BEGINS"(well, probably to Burton-Keaton-Elfman-Timm-Radomski-Dini-Conroy-Walker-Burnett lovers). Through flash-basks (too confusing for kids -8), you see Batman's origin(well, probably to Burton-Keaton-Elfman-Timm-Radomski-Dini-Conroy-Walker-Burnett lovers). Over all, the film is as good as Burton's films, and, was followed by 2 great sequels(SubZero & Mystery of the Batwoman). So, see this sad romance, action, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, dark experience of epic proportions. By the way, the DVD only has 1 feature, the trailer, the remastering rocks!
SEE IT!!!!!!

Great Batman score (as good as Eflman's two), but unfortunately, the score has been edited to 34:47 min (actuall length, 55:45 min), is no longer in print/for sale (...), and some classic music is not included.
Still, the music rocks (w/ the fantastic Batman T.A.S. theme by Shirley Walker) and can probably be found.

I only wish I could watch this animated film again for the first time, it's that good. Every element of Mask of the Phantasm is dedicated to character development and motivation. Long time Bat-fans are treated to a creative bit of backstory cleverly interwoven in flashback with a new mystery for the caped crusader. Bruce Wayne is everything he should be in Phantasm; the writers manage a conflicted and emotionally scarred character, but he doesn't come off as un-necessarily brooding. Sure, tone is dark, but this Batman is still loads of fun!
Shirley Walker's score for Phantasm is equally impressive. She delivers a Batman that is very personal and almost haunting while still heroic.
I'm only sorry I never got a chance to see it on the big screen...
