[Dr. Fate]

Mask of the Phantasm was cool. Especially on the big screen.

[Bat Attack]

I Love the movie so much!!!! :up: :up:

[Gamma Warrior]

I remember watching it as a little kid and thinking it was like the darkest thing I had ever seen. Now when I found it and watched it the other day, It still had me entertained. Especialy the opening and the "Birth of Batman" sequence.

[Soundwave88]

I really enjoyed it but it is pretty short but ya does anyone have "Birth of Batman" mp3?? if ya do please PM me!

Who here loves this movie?


I do.

One of three best Batman movies ever made and possibly THE best. The others? ROTJ and BB.

[Katsuro]

I liked it. Sure, I felt it was a bit corny at times, but it was a kids movie. I'd put it behind BB and ROTJ for sure, and probably even with B'89

[Gamma Warrior]

The themes in that novie were far from kid friendly.

[TheGrayGhost]

The themes in that novie were far from kid friendly.

Exactly. I'm not sure what Katsuro is talking about. :confused:

It's vintage and has elements of 40's film noir, which tend to have parts that are a little cliche, but MOTP polishes them into something charming instead of cliche.

[Qoèlet]

Best comic book-based movie I've seen.

[El Payaso]

You should see more movies.

[TheGrayGhost]

Sigh.

[Qoèlet]

You should see more movies.
I've seen a lot of the ones based on comic books: The X-Men series, the Spiderman films, the Superman, Fantastic Four, Sin City, all of the Batman movies, V for Vendetta... wasn't History of Violence based on a comic book as well? So which ones should be considered better than Batman: Mask of the Phantasm?
Edit: Oh, and I saw The Punisher and Howard the Duck too... also, Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD. None of those are on par with Mask of the Phantasm.

[The Chairman]

B:MOTP is awesome. :up:

[El Payaso]

Sigh.

Did you guys know that Andrea Beumont appead again in last season's ending Episode of JLU. Not as Phantasam but still......She also appears in one of the pictures Bruce's looking through on his computer.This happens in The BB episode, "Blast From the past."

[Odin's Lapdog]

phantasm is arguably timm and dini's best work to date. that and return of the joker

arguably best animated feature/superhero feature to date.

The episode is called Epilogue, and she did appear as Phantasm; the only difference was the color of her eye slits.

[Two-Face]

I didn't know Beumont apeared in JLU, learn something new every day....

[Gamma Warrior]

I was misinformed apparently.Do you have any screen shots of her from Epilogue?

Please share......How the hell did she age so quickly? Batman hasn't aged a day, and she looks a good 30 years older.

...it is 65 years later...Bruce is even older than he was in Batman Beyond TV Show and Terry looks like in his late 20s mid 30s...so Andrea Beaumont is real old like Bruce too...

[Gamma Warrior]

Oh, I thought she was supposed to be in current JLU Universe.

[trustyside-kick]

I am going to refer to the other JLU episodes time period as "present" to explain.

The beginning of the episode is 65 years after "present". Majority of the episode is the 65 years after "present" and the one time you see "present" time is when Batman goes to take down Ace. The other somewhat flash backs are not as far back in time but before Terry finding that woman who knows what is going on.

[Gamma Warrior]

Okay sweet.

[Palpadious]

I remember seeing it at the theatre when I was 6 years old. Good times.

[Soundwave88]

It would make a killer live action movie!

[SpyderDan]

It would make a killer live action movie!

Nah, it's fine as it is.

[Two-Face]

B:MOTP is one of the best Batman movies :batman::batman::batman::batman:/5

[Gamma Warrior]

Nah, it's fine as it is.Co-Signed.;)

[Thespiralgoeson]

Mask of the Phantasm friggin awesome. An in-depth, emotional, intense plot, a great story of Batman's origin for the animated series, and of course the Joker... For me it's right behind the Nightmare Before Christmas as my second all-time favorite animated film. I only wish I could see it in a theatre again.

[Dr. Fate]

Stupid question of the day - Catwoman VS. Phantasm. Who do you place your bets on?

Phantasm would make a fur coat out of that b*tch.:o





:oldrazz:

[batman7289]

great flick

[Marcus]

Great story, great visuals, great soundtrack. A great movie. Hamill, as always, really shines as The Joker.

[Mr. Vice]

It was the best Batman movie...





...in the 90's.;)

[Qoèlet]

Fact: Christian Bale is Conroy's *****.

[Soundwave88]

If only has the sence record from the movie of Bruce puttin the suit on for the frist time plz PM me!

[Dr. Fate]

Anyone got any pics of the Reaper, the Year 2 villain who was the basis for the Phantasm?

[Two-Face]

Fact: Christian Bale is Conroy's *****.


That is not a fact, that is your "OPINION"


"good day sir"

*slams the door shut*

[Kevin Roegele]

Fact: Christian Bale is Conroy's *****.

That's so ridiculous. Conroy merely does the voice, THE VOICE of Batman. Bale does everything. You haven't even seen Conroy play Batman, only heard him.

[Gamma Warrior]

That's so ridiculous. Conroy merely does the voice, THE VOICE of Batman. Bale does everything. You haven't even seen Conroy play Batman, only heard him.Still. Conroy just sounds how I imagine Batman sounding.

[buggs0268]

I still think this movie is the best representation in movie form shown in theaters of Batman.

Than you shoulda voted for it in the Batman Elimination Games. We just finished a round for Best Bat-film and it lost to Begins when it came to the final 2. :(

[Kaizer]

F**k Begins, this is THE Batman-movie...

[Carmine Falcone]

Excellent movie. Love the moment when he puts on the cowl for the first time, and Alfred's reaction ofcourse.

[trustyside-kick]

Whoa, wait what forum was that in?

Batman > Bat-World

Well the latest round is over. Here is the link to the Suggestion Box (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228447) which is where we discuss what the next round(s) will be.

We have been kind of stumped on what to do next. We have had 20 round so far so a lot of us are out of good ideas. Would be great to have new players as well as new ideas popping up. :up:

[Kraven]

Anyone have any youtube scenes of this?

[ZER0C00L]

i dont understand people stated that batman has always been a mystery that he has never been realized on screen but in batman mask of the phantasm and the animated series we see batman train to become batman, who trained him and how his family was killed. it was well done there if not the best.

[Superman Prime]

I like it.

Far from love it.

It is sad and unfortunate, El Payaso, but this is something I'm going to have to disagree greatly with you on.


Mask of the Phantasm was a GREAT movie. I love it.

I just watched it on YouTube, since maybe... what? Five years probably. And I have to say...this movie is underrated as is. Someone on this thread said it was in the top three Batman movies, and I have to agree.

There were tears in my eyes at the end. Although Andrea did live, the ending was still sad, in that Bruce and her can never be together.



There are SO many great elements in MOTP.

- Perfected Origin Story

- Quite possibly the greatest Joker moments in all of Batman film

- Romance that puts Titanic's romance to shame

- Without MOTP, there is a large chunk of the why behind Batman missing. With this movie, we greater understand where Batman is coming from when he puts on the suit and goes out at night.


- A strong story and plot. How could people not appreciate the depth the characters are given in MOTP?

- Alfred at his best, too.

(not to mention the moral value that underlays the entire storyline)


This is an IMDB.com review:

The psychological, the subtle, and the emotional side of Bruce Wayne are all more deeply looked at in this fantastic animated movie, 14 May 2005
FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=10/10"
Author: DavidJohn Foster from Canada
Mask of the Phantasm is one the best Batmans movies ever conceived. It gives that dark brooding look of the batman TV show, throws in an amazing original score, excellent voice acting, and a storyline that encourages us to look at the Batman story in a more human and emotional way. We have well established bad guys instead of just having a guy escape from prison, we have strong inner-conflict dilemmas and very well drawn action scenes. The only downside is that it could have been longer, although the rather short (compared to most movies) length does a good job of not making the flow feel dull or boring.

I highly suggest this movie.


Here is another person, admitting this film is highly underrated:

This movie stands as one of the MOST UNDERRATED films of all time.

Nobody even mentions this film and how the hell could it get a 7.1?! It was a box office flop (11 million worldwide?!?!?!) and even Ebert ignored it for a while!

I saw this film as a child around 11 and I loved it.

Now I bought it off Wal-Mart for 9.99 and watched it and realized how this film is truly a gem.

It's the best-written Batman movie (yes, even better than Batman Begins) with clever dialogue, an authentic film noir setting and it's thoroughly entertaining despite the action being limited.

This film has further rejuvenated my love for the Batman series and Film Noir! Excellent indeed!!

*P.S. This sounds like a review XD





On a scale from 1-10 (10 being the greatest?)

10.

[DocLathropBrown]

Mask of the Phantasm was better than Begins in every way. MOTP, B89 and BR are the only Batfilms I'll ever need. Begins can sit on my shelf collecting dust for all I care.

[hippie_hunter]

I'd like to see a sequel to Mask of the Phantasm someday. Involve the Justice League too.

[El Payaso]

It is sad and unfortunate, El Payaso, but this is something I'm going to have to disagree greatly with you on.

I'll allow you to disagree for some minutes, ok.

[CConn]

It pains me to say this, but...I agree with El Payaso. :(

[DCW]

I totally love MotP....








...just not as much as Begins.


It is in my top three Bat movies though:

1. Batman Begins
2. Batman Mask of the Phantasm
3. Batman 89

Sometimes 89 and MotP switch around... it depends what mood I'm in.

[DCW]

I should also mention how good the soundtrack is. Shirley Walker put together an absolutely fantastic score. I was lucky and found a copy of it on eBay for like ten bucks. When I bought it I wasn't expecting anything special but now am so happy that I got it. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

[Superman Prime]

My list:

1) Batman : Mask of the Phantasm
2) Batman (1989)
3) Batman Begins

[El Payaso]

It pains me to say this, but...I agree with El Payaso. :(

I hope that admission was somehow physically painful. :meow:

[Superman Prime]

Show us your list El Payaso.

[Kevin Roegele]

MotP is worthy but dull.

Yeah, it is grim and downbeat (for a family cartoon). But it's not enjoyable to watch.

[CConn]

I hope that admission was somehow physically painful. :meow:I shot myself with a paintball gun as I typed.

[El Payaso]

Show us your list El Payaso.

You're going to make me watch MOTP again.

Basically my 3 Bat-movies are B89, BR and BB, being B89 in first and then the others tied in a second place for different reasons.

My bigger gripe with MOTP and the animated series was that the animation was not as great as I expected (and as everybody claim it is) and the designs (bunch of Dick Traycies in a 1940's city) is not of my taste.

Anyway, last time I saw it was like 10 years ago.

I shot myself with a paintball gun as I typed.

Divine.

[DCW]

I have to admit that everytime I watch MotP I have this little voice in the back of my head that keeps reminding me that it's only a cartoon. That always makes it a little lower in my book than the better live action movies.
