Rating:Spun off from the popular animated TV series, BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM was originally conceived as a quickie direct-to-video release that would keep the show's animators busy between seasons. After the project was substantially completed, Warner Bros. Deemed it strong enough for theatrical release.During a conference of crime bosses held in a Gotham City skyscaper, gangster Chuckie Sol (Dick Miller) is killed in a confrontation with the Phantasm, but Batman (voice of Kevin Conroy) is held responsible for his death.

Back in the Batcave, he grieves for his lost love, who has actually survived and left Gotham on an ocean liner. Batman grimly swings off in response to the Bat signal.A by-product of the success of Tim Burton's live-action features, the animated 'Batman' TV series has a distinctive Art Deco noir look. The show and the film respect the dark obsessiveness of the comic-book hero, portraying him as a borderline psychotic who is nearly as mad as his enemies butconstrained by a strict ethical code. This is, in a sense, a kid's movie that longs to be 'adult,' so as to more fully explore the twisted violence and general irrationality of Batman's world. Indeed, small children may be confused by BATMAN's flashbacks, frightened by its violence, and bored byits gloomy sobriety and talky seriousness.Still, there is much to admire here. A surreal battle between Batman and the Joker amid skyscrapers and elevated trains in a miniaturized Gotham City stands out, as does an extended sequence in which our hero is hunted by police SWAT teams. The most impressive piece of animation is the openingcredit sequence: a stunning two-minute, computer-generated 3D flight through Gotham City.
