The Animated Series was unsuccessfully pushed into primetime TV, and ultimately, after chasing a crossover audience, production was directed back towards a young, cartoon- hungry audience.
The many successive shows that followed sometimes compared favorably with the early The Animated Series, but rarely have they managed to have anything like the lasting impact. While The Animated Series was enjoying its first run, Warner Bros. Animation, along with the creative team of Bruce Timm, Eric Radomski and co., began work on a direct- to- video film meant to complement and continue the series. But before it finished, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm became a movie theater bound project. In effect, a 7. 6 minute, moody episode of the the TV cartoon that audiences had been watching at home for over a year hit movie theaters on December 2.

The artwork is not only pleasing in its various designs, but the noir aesthetic is sublime. The extremes, such as the massive Batmobile are just as enjoyable as the simpler fare, like the shape of Batman's eyes. Mask of the Phantasm begins with both the series' seminal music and with a Gotham that towers somewhere between NYC and Coruscant. Jumping right in with the dramatic credit sequence is very much like an overture, but the ensuing scene, which features mobsters, counterfeit money, and both title characters, does just as well at setting up the rest of the film. As a comic book character- related story, so much of what Mask of the Phantasm does well has been replicated in more recent works. For Batman, it's a mystery.
