Flashback:Batman: Mask of the Phantasm(1993)
When you think of Batman films released in the theaters, lots of people don’t bring this one up. Maybe because it’s animated or they just never saw it. Well, let’s set the record straight. This film is incredible, and it tells one of the best Batman stories ever to make it on screen. Told with framing devices likeCitizen Kane, we learn about Bruce Wayne’s lost love, Andrea, and how both of their lives took painful turns when they left each other. Did I mention this has some of the best scenes in anyBatmanmovie, and it’s also got the Joker! Let’s talkMask of the Phantasm!
