Awesome, I think the first one was better though even if Bruce's girlfriend's "disappearing" thing was never really accurate and the ending was a letdown (His girlfriend is that evil killer?!?). Both had great animation and story though.

MOTP: Did the whole section with Batman running away from the cops remind anyone else of the "Batman: Year One" saga?

SUBZ: I doubt Freeze would have survived underwater for that long, even with his suit.

SUBZ:
1) Victor Fries has been a criminal on the run for years now. Yet when looking for organ donors in his home city and coming upon the name "Gordon," it does not even occur to anyone that Miss Gordon might be related to Police Commissioner Gordon and may not be the best target for abduction and murder...!

2) Veronica Vreeland's hair was red in the television series and here it's blond.

3) If it was difficult enough for Victor Fries to get an organ donor for his wife that he had to resort to abduction and murder, how is it that Bruce Wayne is able to get proper care for Mrs. Fries so easily at the movie's end? Is he using his vast influence to move her to the top of the city's list of needy patients? And if so, isn't that unfair to the hundreds of dying Gothamites who aren't related to conspicuous supervillains?

I have one question about the shot that they used in SubZero. When they found out that Barbara had been taken by Mr. Freeze, Dick says, "Mr. Freeze's wife." The next shot put a look of surprise on my face. it is of a bed and you hear the springs squeaking. Think about that for a second. THe shot is made so that you cannot see anyone on the bed or what they are doing. The shot pans up and you see Barbara jumping on the bed. I just thought maybe they could have done that a different way. I rented this and watched it with some friends. We all thought the same thing.

"Mask of the Phantasm" was foolishly released to the theaters, instead of airing as a television special, where a more proper audience could have enjoyed it. That film was more of a tribute to film noir, with added superhero attractions and the Joker.

***Veronica Vreeland's hair was red in the television series and here it's blond***

Ever heard of hair dye?

Can anyone explain what the gas that the phantasm used, she dissapeared in it, now I could be used to hide her while she ran off, but during one scene she stands there in the gas and you see her face dissappears.

Any ideas

Isn't there a board for this over on the Batman board?
