Directed by Eric Radomski & Bruce Timm, this gothic noir story follows Bruce Wayne (voiced by Kevin Conroy – Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League) as he confronts a mysterious new vigilante known as the Phantasm while haunted by memories of his past love Andrea Beaumont (voiced by Dana Delany – Tombstone, Superman: The Animated Series). Mark Hamill (Star Wars, The Last Jedi) reprises his legendary role as the Joker, delivering one of his most iconic performances, while Stacy Keach (Prison Break) provides the voice of the enigmatic villain Carl Beaumont. The film is renowned for its darker, more adult themes—exploring Bruce Wayne’s struggle between his personal happiness and his destiny as Batman. Famous moments include Batman’s tragic origin montage at the graveyard, Andrea’s heartbreaking backstory, and the explosive Joker showdown at the abandoned amusement park. With its moody animation, Shirley Walker’s stirring score, and powerful emotional core, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm has been hailed as one of the greatest Batman films ever made and a cult favorite among DC fans. Join Greg & Coy as they react, review, and break down this timeless Batman story, exploring its impact on the DC Universe and its legacy as a definitive take on the Dark Knight. #Batman #MaskOfThePhantasm #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries #KevinConroy #MarkHamill #TheJoker #DCAnimation #BatmanMovie #Phantasm #BruceWayne #Commentary #Movie #Movies #AnimatedMovie #Animated #MovieCommentary #BatmanMovies #React #ReactTo #Reaction #ReactionReview #ReactionVideo Follow Coy Jandreau: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CoyJandreau Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coyjandreau/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoyJandreau Follow GREG On INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thegregalba/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thegregalba 0:00 Checking In! 02:06 Batman Mask of the Phantasm Reaction 30:03 HELLO FRESH 31:24 Batman Mask of the Phantasm Movie Reaction 47:53 Batman Mask of the Phantasm Review Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ RR Clips & Shorts Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ReelRejectsClips Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Head Editor: https://www.instagram.com/praperhq/?hl=en Supervising Producer: https://twitter.com/nerdchronic?lang=en Co-Editor: Greg Alba Co-Editor: John Humphrey Music In Video: Airport Lounge - Disco Ultralounge by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow & Listen to Us Wherever You Get Your Podcasts!! - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XHMwbveiznxSOGxN9XT0M - Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vc3Rhci13YXJzLXRhbGs - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reel-rejects-tv-movie-recaps/id1616339990 - Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Apocalypse-Podcast/B08JJP58FG Ask Us A QUESTION On CAMEO: https://www.cameo.com/thereelrejects PLAYLISTS: Trailer Reactions & Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw9ZsLdoAQFpx38s2hhyFgDe Movie Reviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-comtadVs8b9JsZEWHUyr8 Movie Talk (News, Spoiler Reviews, & Film Rumors!!!): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw8fPQ-21NVSb2IOwIiHbVt8 Youtube Video Reactions & Discussions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw_qwcPsN_vOxXC6IVzrOQYG

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.

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 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.
