This film really understood Batman as a character, same way Spider-Man 2 (2004) understood Spider-Man. Batman - Mask of the Phantasm is one of the best superhero films of all time.
It captures just how broken Bruce Wayne is, and the darkness he embraces to cope with his pain. Batman is pain and loss and grief turned into iron will and vengeance. No other adaptation has done that as well.
@@hiddeneagle1408 Batman Begins was a good movie, and the entire training/flashback sequence was epic, but I still like this more. To each their own, though.
Kevin Conroy's passing will never change one thing..... He is vengeance, he is the night, he IS Batman. Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy. You will always be the best Caped Crusader.
Only the voice tho, so it doesn't count for much. If anything it's the writers that deserve all that praise not some voice actor, as much as I love Conroy, comments like this are so silly.
You can feel the real gothic darkness in this music. Like the echoing soul of Gotham calling out into the night. So good. One of my favorite Batman movies.
00:25 - 00:56 that right there. That’s the sound of The Batman, those 31 seconds I believe capture the character of Batman the best out of any other Batman theme
@@R3SerialDreams Actually it was because she wanted the people involved with the recording team, who in those days typically went uncredited, to be credited somehow.

This theme is the perfect representation of what Batman/Bruce Wayne really represent : Dramatic, theatrical, full of power yet really smooth. The best theme to represent the Dark Knight and his eternal quest for justice.
@@mikedanielespeja6128 That was the exact point she had writing it: something that’s work both as a theatrical fanfare for Batman, and a tragic story for Bruce.
Considering WB marketed this movie targeting Younger Kids, Shirley Walker sure went hard. She made my childhood awesome with her amazing score for Batman.
It's sounds like two calls: one is a desperate cry for help met by nothingness and suffering, the second is seeing something rise in response to that call, seeing the bat signal above Gotham and seeing the Batman spread his wings.
This theme will be forever in your honor as our Batman Kevin Conroy Thank you for making us who grew up in the 90’s their childhood Rest In Peace legend 🦇❤️
Shingo Shoji every time I listen to this, I get serious chills. Supposedly the words said at the beginning are the names of the Producers Said backwards.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the true Batman. Every other interpretation of the character, while I enjoy many of them, are judged based on how well they live up to this one.
@@music-ultra1226 Nope. Even those two. They're both brilliant and I wouldn't want to live in a world without either of their characters, but this remains **the** Batman to me.
“I am vengeance I am the knight i am Batman” Rest in peace Kevin conroy You’ll always be remembered as one of the most iconic and loved takes on a ever iconic character
Partygoer: Quite a sight. Andrea Beaumont: [Melancholic] Yes. Partygoer: I'm sorry. Do - Do you want to be alone? Andrea Beaumont: I am. Best lines in a Batman film, ever and forever.
I love how the movie went back and forth with the flashbacks showing how Bruce had conflicting emotions about becoming Batman, not becoming Batman then becoming Batman. How Bruce truly battled with his past demons. Just outstanding.
In all incarnations of batman i've never seen him the way he was in that scene when he was talking to the grave of his parents. It was something completly different
And the Symbolism of "The World of the Future". How in his and Andreas happiest days its bright and beautiful. In present time, it is a barely working pile of rubble, just like Bruce and Andreas relationship. By the end of the movie, the "World of tomorrow" gets blown into Oblivion, along with any salvaging of Bruce and Andreas relationship... And the cause of all this Chaos? The Clown Prince of Crime laughing his ass off as he understood the punchline of the Joke, that he had taken everything away from Batman that could ever bring him happiness. (This universe was inspired by Batman 89, so I like to think that Joker of this universe also gets Bats parents.) This movie is Brilliant.
Bruce Wayne at the tombstone of his parents. "It doesn't mean I don't care anymore. I don't want to let you down, honest, but... but it just doesn't hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can't you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it's different now! Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn't see this coming. I didn't count on being happy. Please! Tell me that it's okay." This scene alone is better than the entire Nolan trilogy.
As a character study of Bruce Wayne, it is excellent: as a specimen of voice acting and dialogue, it is painful. I think your feelings for the music are speaking for you here. The Nolan trilogy is excellent craftsmanship, even if its Batman was girl-obsessed and pathetic (except when taking out the baddies: Balebat is the best tactical batman interpretation out there). Having perspective on the Nolan trilogy won't make MOTP any less a work of art.
I want to walk up to Bruce give him a hug and tell him”your mom and dad would want you to be Happy, to live a good life full of love and care. They would want you to treat Gotham like family to invest your wealth into it. I think they would like to see you happy with a family to now what’s it’s like to have a family of your own”
@@AslansMane88 desiring literal happiness in life shouldn't be reduced to the phrase "girl-obsessed"... boys, it's ok to want love and peace in life. With the amount of charity work Bruce did, in my mind, I wouldn't think of him any less as a man if he chose to retire. But of course, we watch Batman for being Batman and his adventures. This fictional man suffers without ever having a happily ever after for our entertainment. lol
I've seen Batman: Mask of the Phantasm in the theater during the Christmas it was released, and I still love it to this day. The tone, the music, the voice acting, the animation. It still all holds up 26 years later.
This is the most epic Batman theme of all time with Hans Zimmer's of course. Shirley Walker will never be forgotten as her and this score will be remembered for generations. She so deserves an Academy Award. Does anyone get chills when they hear the choir?
So many layers and emotions in this. It is the perfect song depicting Bruce's dilemma of devout purpose and duty to protect Gotham, yet it's equally mirrored with his misery, guilt, failure, and pain of both wanting to make his parents proud but also to settle down with woman and live a normal life. Perhaps one of the best themes of Batman and Gotham.
To quote Lex Luther, “Even the greatest of us can’t compete with time, and death.“ and apparently disease. One of the greatest dark nights of all time has fallen, he may be gone but he will be far from forgotten. To us he will always be vengeance, he will always be the night and he will always be our Batman. May he rest in power. 😭✊🦇
The soundtrack is by far one of my favorite film scores of all time. It's majestic and heart pounding. This movie was a huge step up from the animated series, and while there's more to offer from it, but this film showed the utter passion of Batman. Just how serious they took the franchise. The directing,acting,and writing was solid enough, but without Shirley Walker's incredible composing, it wouldn't be called the "Greatest Batman movie ever" by some people.
Sitting home from work all day on an injury and have been able to sit with my daughter and watch a lot of Batman. Saw this film for the first time and was blown away by this theme in the beginning. The vocals paired with the visuals of the buildings in the night touch something i cant fully articulate. Batman will always be the coolest hero--distinguished above and beyond all others--and this generation of movies and tv shows were incredible.
Cursed by a mask born of tragedy, and embracing it to save the world. That is what this theme says to me. This *is* Batman. Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy.

Instantly taken back in time wow crazy. Best movie ever period
That description was fucking poetic.

R.I.P. Kevin Conroy. Possibly the best Batman film ever made with the loss of Batman himself. A legend at the end.
This song is the embodiment of Batman. A dark gothic song that sends chills down your spine.
The true definition of batman
The most brooding thing that has a boiling charge of heroism
The song is simply the choir singing the cast members names backwards.
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay really?
Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy, the definitive voice of Batman.
opera really suits with the character
Batman definitely channels the phantom of the opera, among others.
Tim Burton's Batman also had a choir, Batman is a Gothic character so it fits.
Yes, yes it does
This isn't necessarily opera, but it is gothic and very 19th century
Well, in this theme exist a wagnerian motif composed for the Faust Overture.
If they ever re-released this in theaters this would sell out everywhere..
They did re-release it for one day in November or December of last year. I remember that it was on a Monday night.
@@Great_Scott_ yeah I went to that showing. It was awesome

The BEST Batman film ever. And it’s not even live action.

@@christianmicheal6678 Meh.
@@RustyBrickStudios the Dark Knight is honestly not all that, now I consider this to be the dc comics film, perhaps the best comic book movie.
