So we will do BATMAN : Mask Of Phantasm today & end with THE DARK KNIGHT RISES rating thread on 20th July...exciting times are ahead for us fellow rodents! 

Mask of the Phantasm is a great movie. Though I re-watching it more recently, I'll say Bruce Timm and co were a bit too inexperienced to make this movie. It was a good story, but it was an average movie, and a bit too short. Though I will say, one of my best moments in Batman was in this movie, when Batman puts on his mask for the first time. I'd describe it, but video is better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W7DMQRDg94&feature=player_detailpage

Edit: Darth you're forgetting Batman: Sub-zero and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman.

I don't know what was going on in my head at the time when these movies came out but I wasn't very impressed with Phantasm or Sub Zero. I did like Mystery of the Batwoman but mostly because of the Bane fight at the end.

They keep using that "cut off his suppy" thing as his weakness, though. It's starting to get old.

I remember a Justice League episode that star's the batman beyond guy looking at how he has Bruce Wayne's dna in his body. It some how ties in with this movie
