#Batman #Phantasm - Zábava
Batman was booty blind, fair reason
Benito Deras he always is
Yeah
It's hard to think straight when all the blood is rushing to SOMEWHERE other than your head
@@nostalgicarchives9463 lol
Nostalgic Archives lol
The joker twist always gives me chills. The fact that Napier has been watching Bruce before he became Batman is terrifying.
So that means he already knew Bruce was Batman...
@@sougotokiwa8439 no, it just means that they live in a small world with coincidence details to them when you see the bigger picture.
@@Gadget-Walkmen ah
This movie has the best Joker laugh of all time.
DP_2020 second best czcams.com/video/PDQF_NNqbJc/video.html
I agree
I saw Mask of the Phantasm in theaters, will never forget how blown away I was watching it.
Me too. Only in 2018 as a rereleased 25th anniversary.
Fun trivia:
Andrea Beaumont was voiced by Dana Delany who also voiced Lois Lane on the Superman Animated Series opposite Tim Daly as Superman.
Damn, that's cool
Shes a great voice actress! Did a good job with both roles. 👌
So Supes keep Andrea for himself. No wonder why Batman wanted to kill him 😂
Oh year, and not to mention desperate housewives👍
So basically, Batman slept with two women voiced by the same woman?
This movie is THE BEST Batman movie of all time. You can never change my mind
Bill Ly Agreed!
Yes. I agree..
Oh yeah! If you combine all the movies (animated and live action), this is definitely the best one.
When batman found out that mobster was the joker. That laugh, still gives me chills.
When the fairgrounds starts exploding, the music swells and Joker laughing at the hands of Andrea at the end gives me goosebumps everytime.
I remember that scene, Bruce looking at the picture then with a red pen 🖊 he realized what Joker 🃏 was before he was the Joker, I thought that was an old photo of him and his friends 👬 alongside with Joe Chill as an old friend of his really makes you feel down about the story yourself
She could have told bruce and he could have paid em off .. lesson: talk in a relationship it helps
TechGoggles pride got in the way
Hehe, I think the demand for "interest compounded in blood" suggests they were not gonna be satisfied with just apt repayment - they wanted blood no matter what. It's mobster mentality, to make an example of those who cross them, sending a message to all on what happens when you mess with the mob - even if you try (and even succeed) to make amends.
But in any other case - definitely, communication in relationships is crucial. :-)
Bruce doesn't negotiate with terrorist or criminals
@Derrell S Except we see in the flasback when pre Joker comes out of her house she goes "but he paid you". He paid them off but they killed him anyway.
Her father is still technically a criminal since he embezzeled gangsters money. Plus getting Bruce involved might lead to him being targeted as well (he wasnt Batman yet).
Lol we are all booty blind
bobby jenkins hi
Speak for yourself. 💀
@@goldjustgold5942 oh I'm sorry that u are not getting any booty lately
@@lorenlittle158 hello Sir
bobby jenkins I get booby blind
Under The Red Hood is my #1 favorite but Mask of the Phantasm is the absolute best.
I remember having "Mask of the Phantasm" on VHS when I was growing up.
I remember this watching as a kid. Crazy how long the 90s were. Miss the early 00s being a kid & watching all these great shows.
Damn she figured out it was Bruce just by looking at him. And no one else figured it out like that.
Can you do a history on black mask.
Also damn 80 years huh.
When you know someone that intimately, I guess their "aura" that is a combination of their body language ect, kinda leaks out behind the costume.
She found Batman when he was visiting his Parent's grave whilst he did the detective work. She caught him looking at it from the knew it was Bruce behind the mask.
actually she figured it out because she found Batman mourning at the Waynes' Grave like Bruce did.
Ashish Kalam that’s what I just said...
@@firepenguin9919 sorry I didn't read all the replies.
Here's to The Phantasm....the very '1st' villian in BTAS that 'Almost Got Em'!
Fantastic Video! Happy 80th anniversary Batman! Heres to crime!
it's so interesting to see Bruce struggling with his Promise, also to see him happy for once.
Waller did say Terry wasn't Bruce's clone but son.
I've always assumed that Terry's little brother Matt is as well, since both the McGinnis boys had black hair, despite having two light-haired parents. Waller never mentions how long the alterations to Terry's dad's DNA lasted since the plan had been to orphan Terry at the same age as Bruce had been when his parents had been killed.
@@RogueTwo And to also think, that's probably why the Mcginnis parents might have split in the beginning of the series. Quite possibly the husband thought the mother was having an affair. Such a great universe they made in the DCAU, with all these little details.👌
I was hoping he would be the grandson of Bruce it makes more sense
I thought Waller just make McGinnis sterile but at the same time fertile but only can produce Wayne's boys.
Adrian Estrada I'm curious as to what you think of the writers infatuation with a Bruce/Babs/Dick love triangle
Mask of the Phantasm was the best movie. You can fight me, but you're wrong.
The best batman movie ever..
Period..
They can come at me too..
me:
captain Australia:*ShE's rOiT*
I agree with that sure but.. all other Batman Movies after this suck in comparison if Mask of the Phantasm was your introduction to Batman xD
It just introduces you to Batman so well that it set the bar so high for Batman Movies that it ruins it and you're thankful.
Mask of the Phantasm shows you how Batman begun in a perfect way and the Dark Knight Returns 2 Parter shows you how Batman ends.. inbetween there is maybe Under the Red Hood but only barely.
+ Andea > Talia.. I'm seriously ^^ there isn't an kind of elseworld story where AndreaXBruce happens?
Just the scene where he dons the mask for the first time... 1000 / 10.
Jack Sloane *The Dark Knight Returns.
I really don't know why they never did anything in the comics with the phantasm. It's a shame they don't make Andrea apart of the rogues gallery or even an allie to Batman/Bruce. Such a waste.
idk the comics or everything after the movie doesn't feel quite right to me ^^;
At least this way no one's misused her and she remains one of the best Batman characters.
Yeah, it's a shame. Maybe because she's too similar to Catwoman, a bit villainous, but not really.
I believe it's because the Mask of the Phantasm was based heavily on Batman : Year Two, and the Phantasm's character design was heavily influenced by off of that's story main villain, the Reaper. Honestly, if you removed the DCAU elements from the Mask of the Phantasm story, it would be nearly the same story as Batman: Year Two.
well arkham knight exists in the rebirth continuity now so... you never know
Saw Mask of the Phantasm in the theaters opening weekend, there was me and a out 7 people. Damn that movie was so underrated at the time.
Same, opening night, there were about a dozen people in my theater, but it was only playing at a small theater in my city.
If I were casting Phantasm for the Batman Beyond movie they’re planning I’d cast Sigorny Weaver. She’s older so it’s not hard to believe her and Keaton’s Bruce Wayne dated at some point and you could believably see her being a complete badass in her youth due to Sigorny doing some action roles in her youth like with Aliens
Mask of the Phantasm has the most heartbreaking Bruce moment ever when he’s begging for his parents forgiveness. “I didn’t count on being happy.”
RIP Kevin Conroy.
Batman was 'booty blind' I feel like we can all relate
Heck yeah the Phantasm is a great villain, we need to see so much more of her!
Very good video. Mask of the Phantasm is a favorite of mine. Thank you for a great video
I used to Batman mask of the Phantasm and Batman SubZero on VHS. They need to find a way to bring back Phantasm & make Dee Dee twins Canon in the Batman beyond comics.
I read a story in Batman Beyond comic that featured dana's brother as the leader of the Jokerz gang and the dee dee twins have a cameo. Unfortunately, I can't remember the title, but at least you have that information I guess.
You forgot the VHS copy and I still have to this day!!
FINALLY!!!!! This villian/movie was a HUGE part of my childhood! Thank you Variant so much for doing this
The original dvd? Man, I still have the original VHS tape version. Literally, it's packed away with my collection of all the older animated Disney movies... and the Aladdin TV series! That brings back memories, I have to dig out my old VHS player sometime...
Thanks for the origin info, Arris.
I remember seeing "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" in the theatre back in 1993, when it was originally released.
I remember my grandpa getting me this movie when I was like 6 years old I loved it than love it more now that I’m older it’s such a dope movie
Man I just watched this yesterday lol
noice
Happy birthday, Bruce Wayne
Must be close to a century old, by now... ;)
Not that this would stop him in any way...
@@Timberwolf69 80 years, to be exact
@@AifDaimon Well, as a person, Bruce must be older than Bats.
@@Timberwolf69 probably late 90s
I was stoked when I found it on a double feature dvd w/ Sub Zero
"Chucky Sal.... Your angel of death awaits."
Chucky Chucky, you alywas were a loser
I love Phantasm, Bruce pleading for happiness at his parents grave is number 3 on my top 10 Batman Moments of All time list.
Good to have you back Arris
"it hurts my feelings. I know it doesn't make sense."
No it makes sense you just want to ask "HOW DARE YOU BE SO GOOD. LIKE HOW DARE YOU MOVIE."
I would love to see Andrea Beaumont/Phantasm officially become a part of the comics if they haven't done so already. Her and Grey Ghost.
She is going to make her main continuity debut this December in the Batman/Catwoman series where she will serve as the main antagonist.
*Batman, Mystery of the Batwoman*
Wicked film.
I remember owning it on VHS when I was a kid
Thank you so much for this ep! You're the only comic channel I follow on CZcams. Keep it going!
@@variant in a live movie Alfred says this to Bruce Wayne in the Bat Cave. " I have no wish to fulfill my few remaining years grieving for the loss of old friends..or their son's." that was kind of shallow of Alfred to say but he made a very interesting point. that was his way of saying he cared a lot about Bruce Wayne but didn't want to live the rest of his life in sadness. it let's us know Alfred is a caring person in his own way of course. In the animated series we hear Alfred say in the cave to Bat Man. "meaning I trust that when your done with him you'll be seeing her:" to which Bruce responds back to him. " You think you know everything about me don't you." then Alfred says to him. "Diapered your bottom I bloody well aught to sir!" And of course Bruce says right back to Alfred. " well your wrong!" his decisions kept him from ever having relationships with a girl forever. because the life Bruce Wayne has chosen is fighting crime instead of settleing down. I believe the story of Andrea Beaumont is not finished that she needs to have her own story line that I wanna see. I know the Phantasm will return again and keep going. if it is true she will run into another vigilante. the joker started out as red hood before becoming the clown prince of crime in Gotham. he was hesitating but figured this was how to get what he wanted in life. the Riddler is another character he is insane enjoys playing sick games with lives. doesn't play fair at all his sat if action is seeing people die in his death traps. Humphrey Dumpler also known by many as Humpty Dumpty is quiet enjoys taking things apart and putting them back together. Wouldn't recommend letting him do that with people. Calendar man knows Catwoman a very smart and dangerous criminal knows times dates everything about all residents of Gotham. Killer Croc feared by everyone that is not a vigilante. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb they look the same in every way only these two are not brothers they are Cousins. Black Mask looks like death himself. Fire Fly not what you might expect he thinks himself as a giant insect. Penguin hates the Wayne family with the fact of them ruining his crime operation. there are many criminals to read about in the Game Bat Man return to Arkham Asylum. keep in mind not every criminal in insane many are very dangerous. The Tiger military villains that worked for Hugo Strange are the worst and dangerous of all. with access to military weapons and explosives to make Gotham City a cloud of dust and rubble. Tiger Forces are not easily defeated and will return eventually. Harley Quinn wants revenge on Bat Man for the death of the joker.
Thank you for the comic book where I can read more about the Phantasm
Thanks for covering the Phantasm. One of my favorite characters since the movie first debated.
Mask of the Phantasm was my introduction to Batman and I loved it ever since.
Very Good episode! One of my favs.
Andrea Beaumont’s Phantasm shared many moral similarities to the Huntress. I think she would have been a really good teacher for the Red Hood, Orphan, and Spoiler.
What I love about the movie is that it leaves one mystery unsolved: how the hell did Phantasm disappear in that smoke screen?
I have the vhs...still in the original plastic case...yeah boi!
Awesome Episode Arris. I love it, and I didn't know that there was a continuation to Andrea's character in the comics. And Mask of the phantasm is 1 of the Best Batman stories and Movies ad not just animated movie.
Phantasm as the 2021 movie villan?
Red Hood yes please!!!
I would love that
Unfortunately it's the Riddler but there's hope for a sequel
D.C Extended Universe?
My first Batman book was the dark knight returns. I found it when I was on the cheese bus in 1991 and I was six years old. Ever since then I loved batman.
Happy 80th BATMAN
Wish I still had that clam shell VHS copy still. It was pretty rad looking.
I saw this at the age of 22 on Christmas Day 1993. Best Batman movie EVER!!!
The Phantasm looks like a cross between Moon Knight and Task Master with a touch of Azreal.
Amari's Perspective bingo!
Not only is this, hands down, the best Batman film, but also probably the single greatest Joker laugh that Mark Hamill has ever given in his career voicing the Joker. The bombs start going off, Andrea has revealed herself to him and has him in her hands, fire is erupting all around them, and, bloodied and missing teeth, Joker just bursts into the most insane, hysterical laugh we ever see him give. Gives me chills just thinking about it
I was only 5 ( it was 1997) when 1st saw it at my local movie rental store and I have a few vague memories of it watching it back then. But when was 10 I got the DVD version and it became 1 of my favorite superhero movies next to Sam Rami’s 1st Spider-Man movie!
*Great Video, Love Classic Batman.*
The Phantasm reminds me of the Reaper, from Batman: Year Two.
Thank for this
That “What are you doing” was beautiful my dude. :-D
Mask of the phantasm was awesome, makes me cry everytime i watch it, andrea beamuont, the one that got away
I had this on VHS the year it came out...great movie...so deep...
As a guy who saw this movie as a kid I loved the design of the phantasm costume. So much so that as a kid I wanted to be the phantasm for Halloween because I thought it was so cool. Now ,with my nephew dressing up as Batman this year, I think now is as good a time as any to become the
“Angel of Death”.
Awesome stuff.
Come on, man. #KeepEpilogueASecret. Great video, as usual, but it would’ve been so easy to not mention the GIANT spoiler from JLU.
I'm glad to say I saw this in theaters when I was a kid
Love this video❤
Thanks for the Phantasm history happy birthday BATMAN happy 80 years and thanks to artists and writers especially Bob Kane and Bill Finger for giving us this incredible character that we still enjoy and love
The movie kinda scared me when I was a kid, don’t know why
Make her canon! There should be a live action DC film with her character. Andrea Beaumont as The Phantasm is a very compelling and underrated character with a great backstory! If Broly from Dragon Ball can become canon, so can The Phantasm, nuff said💯.
She is going to appear in the main DC Comics continuity soon in the Batman/Catwoman series which first issue is coming this December.
It’s my favorite DC hero’s birthday today. The hype is real.
God, I love the fact they Brought The Phantasm back for the "Epilogue" Episode! That was such an amazing choice!
Was just gonna the OG release was on crusty ol' VHS. I still have mine I think. Not that it's a big deal but it was before DVDs were a thing. Anyway, great stuff bro, love this channel!
Very well done! Love this movie
I'm so glad to see him back
Doesnt Phantasm look like Noob Saibot from MK? 🤔
Nah more like marvels taskmaster
Noob directly quotes her in mk11
What’s the font used in the thumbnail for this video? It looks amazing
Brilliant review of a stunning movie
Yeah the mask of Phantasm was so great especially the fourth wall break when they're going through the museum that has a model of Gotham and one of the buildings has the WB Network logo on it 😂
Thank you for this video. I own this movie on vhs, also saw it when it came out.
wow this iconic movie was released a YEAR before i was born,yep a 94 baby here
I still get tears when you see Batman sporting the cape for the first time and then you see Alfreds reaction to it
I have this film on VHS. This makes me feel old now.
One of the best, yet overlooked Batman villains.
Have to rewatch this movie every few years.
Arris is back
The animated series used to air at night after 10pm and I used to stay up to just watch it... (it was re-runs I guess because I watched it in 2000..)
This channel is dope
My dad took me to see the movie. He even loved it. I was really 'wowed' by the animation. I wish they would bring her back for another movie or give her a successor for some new purpose
They should really bring phantasm back rebooted for modern batman
and it has one of if not the best TAS Joker laugh from Mark Hamill
This was my favourite movie as a kid and getting rid of the vhs is one of my biggest regrets but watching this has made me want to watch it again more then ever.
Edit: Just rewatched it, so much better as an adult
1:25 oh Yh will I own the original VHS batman mask of the phantasm
You can’t more classic then that
Best Batman opening EVER.
Had this on vhs, and the Mr. Freeze one too. Loved Batman growing up, I had the Batman Beyond return of the joker too. Should’ve kept them, might’ve been worth some money.
This was my absolute all time favorite batman film next to BEYOND: return of the joker. I loved everything about those films, regardless of BB:ROTJ being divisive.
To all the people who keep saying you have the VHS. Uhh, good for you? No really. Fantastic. Go you random person who is a bigger fan than i for owning something i do not own. Hooray you stumbled upon a use for a vhs tape that most likely has not been played since dvds have been out. Im sure if he had owned it he would have said something. But good on you for reminding him of something that literally does not matter.
To Aris, youre awesome my man. Love your videos and love your take on things. Your videos are how i convince normies that comics are awesome
So epic, she's one of the greatest characters ever created.
Fun Fact: Arthur Reeves is also the name of the man who started the Law Firm that would later be named Pearson Hardman in the show suits. The main characters Mike Ross (who was written a little like he had superpowers, when he just had an photographic memory) and his mentor and best friend Harvey Spectre were constantly written like Batman and Robin even having the split like Bruce and Dick. And they would constantly make references to this fact as well.
I am actually really surprised you never brought up the Batman arc Fear The Reaper from Year Two which was published in 1991 and featured a very similar villain to The Phantasm created by Mike Barr, Alan Davis and even Todd McFarlane. The Reaper is hauntingly similar to The Phantasm, right down to the scythe gauntlets that they wear. The gimmick with The Reaper is that he was Gotham's original dark avenger, before Batman, and he turned out to be the father of the woman that Bruce was dating. Sound strikingly familiar? Look it up and check it out, maybe you can make an addendum video to this that looks into the similarities between these two villains.
