"TDKR is all hype"
A big part of the Nolan trilogy in general is hype. This is better than the entire trilogy combined. And I agree with a previous poster: This film gave a more realistic scenario (as well as Batman Beyond) for Bruce to quit his crusade than TDKR did. -

Mask of the Phantasm is definitely better than TDKR and Batman Begins. Is it better than the Dark Knight? Mark Hamill is really good in this as the Joker, but so was Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight. Personally, I think Ledger's performance, while brilliant, was overhyped because of his unfortunate death. And I prefer Kevin Conroy waaaaay more than Christian Bale. He just has so much more emotion in his voice, and it doesn't sound like he has throat cancer when he's the Batman - plus, Kevin Conroy's the one who started the whole alternate voice gimmick in the first place. So I actually think Mask of the Phantasm was better than any of Nolan's flicks, the Dark Knight included.

I especially agree w/ the voice. W/ Kevin Conroy, you know when he's playing Batman and when he's playing Bruce Wayne. When I first heard Christian Bale's voice change, all I could think was "Get that man a lozenge!"
If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life. -

I completely agree this is better than TDKR,i was so pissed at nolan for ruining what could have been an flawless trilogy. He was just too damn eager to finish the films but along with that made so many mistakes. But this was awesome and still is i remember winning this on vhs in a contest as a child and i still have the tape.

mask of the phantom > TDKR
TDKR is a crap of a movie, its a copy cat of TDK hense why talia is a twist villian all of a sudden just like two face was in TDK but it simply did not work for the movie. the story is actually pretty degrading to batman at the very beginning since why would he spend 7 years as cripple when hes a billionarie and could have fixed that way early in time and is a wimped depressed bitch for rachel who is dead and seems to not get over it, yeah it just pure crap
MOTP is easily in top 5 of best batman film -

I just had a MOTP hankering and for me THIS is the best Batman/Bruce Wayne rendition on film.
One aspect of the movie NOT talked about is the film score, songs and voice work. Just outstanding!!

I have had "The Dark Knight Rises" since it was released & still have not gotten past the 1/2 hour mark.
Yet I have watched "Worlds Finest" The Batman/Superman movie 3 times & GL:TAS all 26 episodes 3 times yet Nolans film is too long & long winded & I do not like Christian Bale. He was OK as American Psycho but he is just does not do it for me.
I actually did see this on the big screen & Andrea's speech at the end had me sobbing!!
Batman: Your father's dead, isn't he? You came into town early to get Chuckie Sol, so you could shift the blame to your father if necessary.
Andrea Beaumont: They took everything, Bruce. My father, my friends, my life, you. I'm not saying it's right, or even sane but it's all I have left! So either help me, or get out of the way!
Batman: You know I can't do that.
Andrea Beaumont: Look what they did to us! What we could have had! They had to pay!
Batman: But Andy what will vengeance solve?
Andrea Beaumont: If anyone knows the answer to that, Bruce, it's you.
[silent pause]
Batman: Leave, Andy, now. Please.
Sorry I can't get that in BOLD but that was one of the best speeches ever given in the entire DC universe!!
Also Dana Delaney (she is Andrea & Lois Lane (in superman:TAS)) she has a great voice & I guess I will have to watch some regular TV so see her in action.
At any rate MASK OF THE PHANTASM is the best DVD so far!!
