Today: Favorite Batman movie?
I assume many would answer with a live action Batman film, such as one of Burton's or Nolan's movies. However, nothing has translated Batman as vividly and accurately for me as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. A direct extension of the legendary 90s animated series, Phantasm appropriately has all of the things that make the Dark Knight great: the mob, the Joker, Batman on the run, a heartbreaking love-story, a glimpse into his origins. I grew up watching this movie to the point where the VHS was on the brink of collapse. That's how much I loved it. And it's aged terrifically, setting the standard for both Batman in animated form and cinematic possibilities.
