if mask of the phantasm compliment the first 70 episode of batman represent the animated series and subzero compliment the 15 episode that comprise the adventure of batman and robin . mr. freeze be one of my top favorite villain in this show thank to michael ansara magnificent portrayal of a tortured man and who although dead to emotion be more determined than ever to save the life of his die wife nora . i love this movie good than mask of the phantasm because be a batman and robin fan and i be thrill that robin be include in this direct to video release . kevin conroy and loren lester be once again and superb in their role a batman and robin . regard batgirl and i be not exactly happy that she be in costume only briefly and but a barbara gordon and she be great a a damsel in distress and but still able to take care of herself and just like in the heart of steel 2 part episode . we even see a potential romance develop between dick grayson and barbara gordon . dick wild motorcycle ride after freeze van be definitely worth see . the animation quality be even well than ever and partially due to cgi and but hey . i be not complain . it interest to note two voice over in this movie and george dzunda ( scarface and the ventriloquist and perry white on superman ) be the voice of dr. gregory belson and dean jones ( disney herbie the love bug movie ) be the voice of belson stockbroker . my big gripe about this movie be the fact that wb decide to wait an entire year before release it . i felt they should have go ahead and release it in the summer of 1997 so people could have enjoy a good batman and robin movie than the abomination that schumacher make . by air the wb episodes first and then release this movie in 1998 be a mistake i felt . why . because if you saw the wb episode cold comfort you would already know the upcoming fate of nora fry and so wb decision to bump the release spoil the surprise of this delightful movie for everyone . of all the three animate batman movie and i felt that subzero be by far and the best of the three . it also the last time we see the batman character in the fox style before their revamps on the wb network and plus and with the exception of the old wound episode and it dick grayson last adventure a robin . and my hat off to the late mary kay bergman and who voice over barbara gordon or batgirl in this movie . like mask of the phantasm and i highly recommend subzero for purchase or rental .
