This scene always sealed in the fact of how mortal Batman was, and how small slip ups like him investigating the phantom devolved into this whole scene. He had an entire police precinct surround him, almost blow him up, and he just barely makes it out with his identity and health still intact. Moreover, the music and small cutscenes that are very comic book-like in thier frames, really created the tension in this scene as a child. Best Batman movie ever.
It’s wild that Gotham police suddenly go from the most incompetent police department in fiction to a lethal police force as soon as they start going after Bruce and Terry when they’re Batman.
My step-grandfather for me. And I know he wasn't as interested as I was, but I'll never forget that he DIDN'T fall asleep during this. Even after, he had questions 😂 and I loved every moment of it. 💯
RIP Kevin Conroy. This is one of the most intense scenes ever put in a Batman film. I really prefer this down to earth, human Batman who can be cornered and vulnerable but still manage to win over an invincible Bat God.
There was a couple of episodes where the GCPD stop the bad guys. There also was a Superman episode where the Metropolis police are ridiculed that the only one who can do anything is Superman. Suddenly Superman showed up and said it was actually Detective Turpin who saved his life from Kanto.
@nathancruz9172 I watched it then too. I was 4 in 1994 so I don't remember seeing it in theaters very well, but I clearly remember my dad bringing it home from Blockbuster at that time.
This scene proves how crucial of an ally Jim Gordon is to Batman. Batman managed to get out by the skin of his teeth, now imagine how things would have been had Gordon lead the chase along with the full force of the Gotham Police Department. Imo if Gordon wanted to he could apprehend Batman, but he trusts him enough to work with him.
i think gordon did... I think when gordon's daughter died, he went berserk and blamed batman. I don't know the details 100% but gordon raided batman's mansion or something.
@@williamsundesten4327 Continuity never really mattered in the Tim Verse. In fact, there’s still debate on whether the tie in comics are considered canon to the show.
This movie was the truest representation of what Batman originally was. Batman after all, to his core, was a detective. He battled crime, did not kill, and used his skills and wits to win the day.
Harvey Bullock came very close to catching The Batman at that point. It puts Poison Ivy, Two Face, Penguin & Jokers Almost Got I’m sonario’s into shame
Really wish Paul Dini Did the animated series for Daredevil and Moon Knight Since they’re on the same level vigilante as Batman. If He’s able to pull off Batman the animated series then Shirley he can pull those characters off as well.The Sentry Is another character that could use Greg Wiseman’s inspirations like he done with gargoyles and spectacular Spiderman.
I just noticed that leg sweep that Batman does at 1:29 is the same move that he did to Andrea when they were on the lawn. She learned from it because she avoid it.
This scene was so intense and really showed you that the police were definitely out to get Batman, it was one of those rare times that showed how dangerously close he was to having his secret identity exposed especially when he loses his cape and cowl after getting almost blown up, the moment where you see Batman limping down the alleyway unmasked with the police right behind him while the operatic music plays really had you on the edge of your seat. What an epic DC animated movie Batman Mask Of The Phantasm was and almost 3 decades later, it still remains an all time classic. 1:29 a very clear clue that the person in the costume is a female from the way Phantasm delivers the kick to Batman
I haven't watched this movie in about 15 years or so. Maybe longer. But the moment I saw that kick, everything about the movie come flooding back. What a fantastic fucking film. I'm sure I still have it on VHS
Gcpd in response to mass murdering villains who constantly escape custody: “Meh.” Gcpd whenever they think Batman makes a mistake: “Get the rocket launchers.”
Guess The Joke is on me you're not Batman after all looks like there's a new face in Gotham as soon as name would be all over town to say nothing to play even spleen and head
The closest I think Batman would be caught and unmasked,by GCPD... (not counting dream sequences, parallel universes, or situations where someone else is hypnotised, or situation where someone let him get away..)
Congratulations Harvey Bullock 👏 this was the one shot you had -WILL EVER HAVE! Of taking down Batman. Think about the irony of this scene his own Law Enforcement community outside of Gordon wanted him dead or alive. Yet he still beat him, Bruce does have a super power. The ability and will to stay alive throughout this movie and series. youtube.com/@CjackProductions
3:52 i will ALWAYS remember this as a BIG BRAIN S+ CLASS TACTICS MOVE 😂 if i was one of the swat team below or the dude on the helicopter, i would have fell for this as well, without question 😂😅

"Without Batman, crime has no punchline." RIP to the definitive voice for Batman.

What if the film was based on the "Batman/Judge Dredd" crossover comics?
The goat💔💔
Such a bittersweet, yet truthful phrase indeed that symbolizes a true voice acting legend! RIP Kevin Conroy!

4:54 You can tell from Harvey's face that he will always remember this as the day he almost caught batman.
I had the privilege of watching this masterpiece in the cinema as a kid back in the 90s. I have my uncle to thank for that.
My step-grandfather for me. And I know he wasn't as interested as I was, but I'll never forget that he DIDN'T fall asleep during this. Even after, he had questions 😂 and I loved every moment of it. 💯
Kevin Conroy is the best 😢
Andrea went from fighting Batman after a failed assassination to rescuing him a few minutes later
She wasn't targeting him. At that point, Batman had no clue who the Phantasm was, so he figured he could trust her.
Either way Bruce was never the target for her. The target was the mob for her. She just went about it in revenge. Not Bruce/batman.
RIP Kevin Conroy. This is one of the most intense scenes ever put in a Batman film. I really prefer this down to earth, human Batman who can be cornered and vulnerable but still manage to win over an invincible Bat God.
0:14 Joker: Whoops! Ha! I guess the joke's on me.
Phantasm:"stay away! This is not your fight!"
Batman:"this madness ends now!"
1:26
(the phantasm throws Batman)
The one time the GCPD is actually competent...
And it’s not even against a bad guy.
They actually were not if they knew Batman wasn’t the enemy
The police in superheroe movies is only competent against good guys.
There was a couple of episodes where the GCPD stop the bad guys. There also was a Superman episode where the Metropolis police are ridiculed that the only one who can do anything is Superman. Suddenly Superman showed up and said it was actually Detective Turpin who saved his life from Kanto.
I saw this in theaters, when I was 5 and remember this scene being the most intense.
I wish I could’ve seen it in theaters but I wasn’t even born when this movie was released.
@@alexwest2573neither have I. However, I did remember watching the movie at theaters for rerelease in 2018.
You guys were lucky,
It only came out on Home Video in the uk

@@pzza1097 it was a hallucination Scarecrow inflicted on Barbara
@@pzza1097 Was a hallucination even so Batman didn’t get captured by him he got away
What if the film was based on the "Batman/Spawn" crossover comics?
Batman would constantly face the police. He can’t outsmart them
Bullock: Freeze!
Batman: Over my dead body (then jumps off cliff)
"he headed for construction site!"
The movie that started the whole dc animated series
And what a banger it was
Actually the first season of BTAS had premiered by this point
I'm not even mad this movie lost to Lion King....They both are great movies
@@blackghost7768 This film actually takes place after season 1 chronologically, just look it up

Meanwhile in an alternate universe/What if...
Spider-Man: Mask of the Phantasm
This is my favorite Batman movie.
This movie was the truest representation of what Batman originally was. Batman after all, to his core, was a detective. He battled crime, did not kill, and used his skills and wits to win the day.
This is like Grand Theft Auto with a five star wanted level. GTA:Gotham City.
Mission (barely) passed!
This scene scared me when I was a kid. Seeing Batman so vulnerable.
Imagine this chase from the police perspective.
THIS DUDE IS JUMPING ROOFTOPS AND SCALING WALLS!!!
Harvey Bullock came very close to catching The Batman at that point.
It puts Poison Ivy, Two Face, Penguin & Jokers Almost Got I’m sonario’s into shame
What was very shocking about this scene is that they actually show blood on Batman's face after he was badly injured.
I though theu do that a lot eepecially what came forward
@@iancruz6617 Oh of course. Believe me, I have seen everything that followed after this.
I remember watching parts of this movie too.
@Viper Hareous And let's not forget that ONE part where Batman kicks the Joker and causes blood to spurt out of him along with knocking out a tooth!
@@MatthewTheWolf2029 yes this is a sad scene
Really wish Paul Dini Did the animated series for Daredevil and Moon Knight Since they’re on the same level vigilante as Batman. If He’s able to pull off Batman the animated series then Shirley he can pull those characters off as well.The Sentry Is another character that could use Greg Wiseman’s inspirations like he done with gargoyles and spectacular Spiderman.
And Punisher
With the advancement and medium of animation changing, it's not likely he'll be able to do so. And don't call him Shirley.
Batman isn't a vigilante, an "eccentric contractor".
One of the best things about the Joker is how he subverts everybody's expectations.
This movie scared the shit out of me when I was little.
Wish we’d have had a longer fight between Batman and the Phantasm!! 🙄😒
Me too.
Don’t worry they will have plenty of fight scenes in my Batman film :)
I totally agree
Wish we’d have had a longer fight Batman and the phantasm sure hope that they put the phantasm in the Batman part 2 of Robert Pattinson
I just noticed that leg sweep that Batman does at 1:29 is the same move that he did to Andrea when they were on the lawn. She learned from it because she avoid it.
1:30
"The madness ENDS NOW!!!!!!"
-Batman
Really hard to pay your respects to Kevin Conroy when most Batman TAS vids got COPPA'd. Even though today's kids ain't watching this.
Now, why aren't the Gotham PD half this competent when trying to subdue The Joker? Or Two-Face?
I like that they changed the grappling hook shot sound for the movie.
I was a kid when this came out and remember this was the first time I was worried Batman was finally going to get caught.

There were hints even in the Phantasm's first scene: "I want yooou, Chuckie Boy".
Gcpd in response to mass murdering villains who constantly escape custody: “Meh.” Gcpd whenever they think Batman makes a mistake: “Get the rocket launchers.”
0:14 Fucking nightmare fuel
I used to run out of the room when that scene hit, even after like watching the movie 100 times 😂😂😂
0:32 Legs, feet, and spleen, and head!
Phantasm is the ancestor of Ghostface. And this animated movie is the ancestor of the Scream franchise.
When Harvey Bullock is calling you out, you know you're being a right fool...
He almost got capped 😂
My favorite scene in the whole movie!
2:42:
We headed straight to construction site?!
Guess The Joke is on me you're not Batman after all looks like there's a new face in Gotham as soon as name would be all over town to say nothing to play even spleen and head
It was basically a battle between Bruce and a girl he was talking to but no wonder it didn't last long like other villains
@3:58 ...What's he doing?
@4:13 ...How the Hell did he do that?
He's a professional escape artist.
@@thedude9941 why did he take off his mask
@@josephcalrow2586 He had to make it look convincing, if he only took off the cape there's no way he could've pulled that off.
@@josephcalrow2586 he took a very risky move but knew he had to be very careful no one sees his face. Then it's all over
He had to take his cape off to give the _illusion_ he was flying away. Houdini-like basically.
Happy Batman Day 🦸🏻♂️🦇
"Oh, no, he got away in a car! I wish we had something so we could track that car down. Like, a helicopter, maybe..." 😳
0:12 Your Angel of Death awaits.
You gotta give Bullock credit. He ALMOST caught the Batman
0:30 Phantasm figured it out that it was a trap & so she got the hell outta there.
This is the HIGHLIGHT of the film for me this entire clip
Why the heck was GCPD never this efficient and on-the-ball when the villains were stirring up trouble?
2:33 how did they park those cars on a rooftop 😂
1:44:
Batman vs. GCPD (Mask of the Phantasm)
The cop shooting out of the chopper at 2:20 is hilarious to me. No animation just dumping his pistol
Without Conroy.
Crime Has No Punchline.
batman is not a bad guy
i agree he's a good guy rip Kevin
3:57: Batman uses grappling hook to evading GCPD heli.
4:20
Me: Fucken Hell that’s it now.
If Batman trips & police manage to grab him ?
Game Over !
0:42 🌕 , 1:00 1:11 🛬 , 2:31 🦇
3:10 💨 , 3:23 💣 , 3:53 🚁
Masterpiece
3:04:
The GCPD unit with searchlight trailer and all units arrive on scene in construction site.
Why didn’t he use the grappler from thr beginning
The grappler only took him so far and with the entire gCpd air force on him, it would have only bought him seconds
Phantasm was going to kill that guy, but Joker beat her to the punch.
Haha joker funny part
Penny: Batman!
Batman: Hurry! Get on the batmoblie!
2:45:
The GCPD SWAT Truck arrives on scene in construction site.
What a mysterious vigilante who isn’t Andrea Beaumont.
It was Andrea Beaumont who is the phantasm all this time.
Who did the voice?
@@lessthanthreemetal Stacy Keach, who was also the voice of Andrea's father.
2:31:
FREEZE!!
Why didn’t he call the batmobile?
For most of the chase he was high above street level. Plus the cops had the ground covered. By the time he'd reach it he would be caught.
The closest I think Batman would be caught and unmasked,by GCPD... (not counting dream sequences, parallel universes, or situations where someone else is hypnotised, or situation where someone let him get away..)
4:47 he’s lucky he didn’t get to prison.
1:44:
The GCPD helicopter arrives for Batman.
1:39 Phantasm/Andrea punches Batman and disappears in smoke because she didn't wanna be arrested by the police.
Bullock was really close to getting Batman and finding out his secret identity
bruh that was fuckin intense
i don't even like animated movies
fuckin helicopters and radios
i felt like i was bout to get arrested too
If you've never watched this then you should. It's actually fucking great.
The real question is why the hell can't the GCPD be this competent against the Joker, Two-Face or all the rest of Batman's damned Rogue's Gallery?
1:26
0:14-0:24 They changed this a bit.
This is why Hamill is better than Heath.
Indeed.
Where was Robin, Batgirl or even Catwoman when all this shit kicked off ?
This movie is based on Year 1 and Year 2 comics, so there was no Batfamily yet.
The novelization said that Robin having college classes during the events of the movie
Congratulations Harvey Bullock 👏 this was the one shot you had -WILL EVER HAVE! Of taking down Batman.
Think about the irony of this scene his own Law Enforcement community outside of Gordon wanted him dead or alive. Yet he still beat him, Bruce does have a super power.
The ability and will to stay alive throughout this movie and series.
