    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Most of the movie is based on the graphic novels "Batman: Year One" and "Batman: Year Two". The flashback to Batman's first night of crime-fighting, donning a jacket and ski-hat is parallel to book one of "Year One". The design and concept of the Phantasm was derived from the Reaper, the primary villain of "Year Two".
    • Goofs
      When Andrea first encounters Batman in her apartment and he asks her about her father, he hands her a photograph with his bare hand. In the very next shot his glove is back on.
    • Quotes

      [At Bruce's parents' grave]

      Bruce Wayne: 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!

      [thunder and lightning]

      Bruce Wayne: 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.

      [thunder and lightning]

      Bruce Wayne: Please! Tell me that it's okay.

      Andrea Beaumont: [enters] Maybe they already have. Maybe they sent me.

      [They embrace in the rain]

    • Alternate versions
      The UK video version was originally cut (for category) by 3 seconds to remove the use of throwing stars in the scene where Bruce fights off bank robbers. The new DVD version is uncut, and maintains the 'PG' certificate.

    Aww yeah--one of the best.
    This movie is incredibly cool. It's the most accurate film portrayal of Batman yet. Not only is this movie well-animated, exciting, and tautly-plotted, it's also refreshingly understated. Unlike its live-action cohorts (more specifically, the Schumacher duo), "Phantasm" does not rely on splashy effects, ridiculous action sequences, and a hokey soundtrack to pull it through. As much as I love *Batman Returns,* I have to admit this is probably the best-written of the Batman films. And tell me you don't get chills down your spine the first time Bruce Wayne puts on that cowl. Awww yeah!!

    FAQ7

    • Who created the character of Batman? Bob Kane is listed in old (pre-2015) media including the comic books as creating Batman on his own but new media (made after 2015) shows him as co-creating the character with someone called Bill Finger, so what's all that about?
    • Is the Phantasm an original creation?
    • How old is Batman in this?
