spoiler ahead . this have to be the great batman film ever make . it may be a cartoon but sometimes a great story be strong enough however it be deliver and this be a great example of this . it make all the live action film look painfully silly and particularly the late one and be truly worth hunt down . this be what and who batman should be . someone who be drive by vengeance and who can not reconcile love and his obligation to protect and someone who use physical violence and intelligence and not a plethora of gadget that he just carry around to bail him out of that one in a million tight spot and to fight crime and restore order . the animation be good and it the only cartoon drawn on black paper to aid in it dark feel and the music score be powerful and dark and brooding and the voice acting be top notch with batman and andrea play wonderfully by kevin conroy and dana delaney although the film be steal by the joker who be play by mark hamill from star war fame . he bring something magical to the role and perfectly nail the mix of be cool and funny and evil and sinister . like the film and this be the perfect embodiment of who the joker should be . the story be excellent keep up with the mystery surround the phantasm and also tell bruce wayne back story and how he discover the bat cave and bat car and what drive on his hunger for revenge . the end with him stand deject have lose his love and his foe and the world seemingly in flame be pure poetry . batman be a character that should have everything but still not be able to obtain the small thing that we normal folk hold dear . someone that carry on his fight alone and doesn not get the girl every time . we a the audience want to feel a connection to him and i feel i understand more of what be go on in this character then any of the live action version .
