In this animated feature set in the 1940s, the troubled yet heroic Batman (Kevin Conroy) is pitted against a mysterious figure who is rubbing out Gotham City's most dangerous criminals, and who many believe is the caped crusader himself. Batman's alter ego, millionaire Bruce Wayne, is about to get married to the lovely Andrea Beaumont (Dana Delany), who helps him recover from his need to avenge his parents' murder -- meaning that his crime-fighting days may be numbered.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stylish and admirably respectful of the source material, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm succeeds where many of the live-action Batman adaptations have failed.

Jake Cole Slant Magazine The film leans hard into the show’s retro-future aesthetic and doubles down on its fondness for the hard-boiled 1940s detective era that birthed Batman in the first place. Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times "Phantasm" looks exactly like what it is: A television program that's been expanded to fill a big screen. But enlarging the characters only makes the flaws in the Saturday-morning-style animation more evident. May 23, 2023 Full Review Pat Gillespie The Age (Australia) [Combines] the flair and humor of the television series with the dark morality and melancholia of the original DC Comics strips. Excellent action sequences and vivid animation that seems to leap off the screen crown this terrific release. May 23, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Garcia Dynamic Duel Podcast Despite its strong themes of vengeance and duty, the obvious mystery reveal and plot holes prevent the film from comparing to Batman’s best stories. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, embodying the show’s complete and focused creative abilities, plays like a dream for those desiring more from their superheroes. Rated: 4/4 Oct 15, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy It’s interesting how the film manages to weave together three plotlines and allow them to finally dovetail in orderly fashion. Rated: 3/4 Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Chris barrera One of the best movies ever made Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Rudolph Kevin Conroy will always be Batman to me! And this is the best Batman movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review mssmartian Fun dialogue, love seeing cell mistakes in older animation, swear it’s not bad, it was just a little funny to see the love interest in some frames have no sleeves, then poofy sleeves for a few frames. Always fun to have more confusing Joker lore. Con of the times, the way Asian women were drawn 🫢 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review ブラス Oh it’s absolutely must-see.
