It’s final exam week here at Batman University, which means it’s time to expand our podcast to an entire panel for a discussion of the animated movie “Mask of the Phantasm.”
Tony is joined by Chip Sudderth, Dan Moren, David Loehr, and Philip Mozolak.
We attempt to remember back to what life was like in 1993, someone compares Tony to Harvey Bullock, and we determine how this movies stacks up against the other Batman animated movies.
Many classic “Batman: The Animated Series” episodes are referenced. Links in the show notes.
