The Batman set up an exciting crime-noir adaptation of the Dark Knight in live-action, but Mask of the Phantasm still stands as the character's best adaptation.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman finally brought to the live-action theatrical space an iteration of DC Comics’ beloved, brooding superhero that honed in on the crime-noir detective aspect of the character, but Mask of the Phantasm still reigns supreme as being the truest to the character.
It’s what effectively made the show, the successor shows that followed, and Mask of the Phantasm a timeless piece in Batman’s history in pop culture media. Just as well, this complete package of an adaptation was wrapped in a tantalizingly stylish crime-noir take on art deco. Affectionately dubbed “dark deco,” this Bruce Wayne’s Gotham City was one that dripped with pulpy noir tones that harked back to the hero’s roots.
Exploring the tragic psyche of the Dark Knight Christopher Nolan’s revered The Dark Knight Trilogy and Reeves’ The Batman have both explored the dark and tragic inner machinations of Bruce Wayne’s mind — the latter especially — but Mask of the Phantasm has arguably still delivered the most emotional and poignant take.
To this day, seeing the flashbacks of Bruce donning the mantle of the Batman for the first time and of him pleading at the gravestones of his parents to release him of his promise are some of the most emotionally hard-hitting moments in anything the character has featured in. A melancholy celebration of the source material’s mythos Paul Dini and Bruce Timm have been praised as DC Comics legends for what they’ve lent to Batman’s corner of the world, and just about everything in Mask of the Phantasm is a loving blend and homage of the duo’s work in the DC Animated Universe and the dense lore from the comic book source material.
