The scene with Bruce at his parents' grave begging to not feel guilty for being happy is peak Batman storytelling honestly. These writers understand Batman as a character so incredibly well.
2:38 Neither. The show had already been on the air for about a year and the movie was not supposed to take place at any specific point in the timeline of the show. The film Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero was intended as the finale of the show.
Nothing can't beat Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman & Joker ! They are sooo good
RIP Kevin Conroy, Abe Vigoda, John P. Ryan, Dick Miller, Efram Zimbalist, Bob Hastings and Arleen Sorkin.
The Phantasm in the animated universe does return in the Epilogue episode of Justice League Unlimited! She is an old woman who refuses to kill Terry’s parents in a flashback. She returns in an issue of Batman and Robin Adventures where you find out how the Joker survived.
THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE TO THIS DAY🗣️
The voice of the Phantasm being Andrea’s father was supposed to be part of the mislead, but the toys already spoiled it when the movie was released.
