Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (also known as Batman: The Animated Movie) is a 1993 American animated neo-noir superhero mystery film feauring the DC Comics character Batman. Directed by Eric Radomski and Bruce Timm, it is based on the hit TV series Batman: The Animated Series and was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film was written by Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, Martin Pasko and Michael Reaves and stars the vocal talents of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, and Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. (all reprising their roles from The Animated Series), in addition to Dana Delany, Hart Bochner, Stacy Keach, and Abe Vigoda. It revolves around Batman attempting to apprehend a mysterious vigilante who's murdering Gotham City's crime bosses.
The film was originally thought of as a direct-to-video release. Warner Bros. ultimately decided for a theatrical release, giving the filmmakers a strenuous eight-month schedule. Mask of the Phantasm was released on December 25, 1993 to widespread acclaim from critics, who praised the animation, voice performances, storyline and music, among others. However, due to the decision to release the film in theaters on such short notice, it failed at the box office.
