Finley to the Defense

Originally Published: July 6, 2005

Our newest correspondent, Matt Finley, takes on lost causes at times. But very worthy ones for sure. This week’s case is no different. Matt comes to the defense of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

A true film lover, Matt wants everyone to know why this film should be given eye-time. I am a huge fan of the Batman animated series. I think in many regards, it is better than any of the features to date.

In this animated feature, A new villain, The Phantasm, is murdering its way through the Gotham underworld all the while leading police to believe that Batman has turned to homicide. The plot thickens progressively as an ex-fiancé of Bruce Wayne serendipitously shows up in town and The Joker is singled out as The Phantasm’s final victim.
