I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. We’re all aware of the amazing animated Batman classic that is “Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm” (Cut to opening credits of “Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm” before cutting to clips of “Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm” as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
And it is well deserved of that recognition. While I do agree with SFDebris that the Small Stakes is what makes this movie, I wholly disagree with him on this not being epic. It’s Epic in scope, it’s epic in the storytelling, it’s an epic in all the right places. There is a reason I watch it every February 14th. It’s a reminder that above all else that for the Dark Knight like the rest of us finding and holding onto the one love we have will be as uphill a battle as trying to stop any monster who wants to destroy Gotham. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA:
However by the mid 1990’s after a few years on Fox Kids, Warner Brothers not only had their own network but decided to join in the Weekday/Saturday Morning Kids Programming block known as “Kids WB” and they wanted Batman on their Programming Block and to help Warner Brothers decided to make a straight to video animated movie which would be somewhat of a bridge from the time on Fox Kids to “Kids WB”. That movie was “Batman/Mr. Freeze: SubZero” (Show opening credit of “Subzero” before cutting to Clips of “Batman/Mr. Freeze: Subzero” as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
And for many Batman fans this movie should be considered worthy of the same praise “Phantasm” but like “Mystery Of The Batwoman” and some others in this same Batman universe. But why is that? To me it’s just as good “Mask Of The Phantasm” but people don’t talk about this one. Why is that? What could’ve kept this one from succeeding?(Show “Batman & Robin” poster with the losing horns from “The Price Is Right” playing)
