When does this take place?

Like the creators have said in the commentary features for "Batman: The Animated Series", time periods and technologies are mixed and matched in an attempt to give the series and spin off films a timeless quality (I think they succeed; Computers with a film noir and art/dark deco look really works for me).

This question is easy Mask of the Phantasm takes place during Batman: The Animated Series.
MotP was the movie based on the animated series, which arguably best captured the spirit of the Batman universe out of all the various onscreen depictions.
If you are unfamiliar with the series (though I'm not sure how anyone could possibly find out about this movie without knowing about the series), it was developed with a "dark deco" aesthetic, while still depicting modern technology, for an overall feel that is timeless and hard to place in the real world. -

I'm aware of it, but I haven't seen much of it.

They did that very well.
