In the second installment of "A Year of Animation," Jeffrey and Andy discuss Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski's vision as expressed in their 1993 film, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. A last minute studio decision made Mask of the Phantasm, originally intended as a direct-to-video release, the first animated Batman feature to hit the big screen. Timm and Radomski did their best to take advantage of this, delivering a noir-tinged love story with a fair amount of movie magic aided by perhaps the greatest score of any Batman film, composed by the late Shirley Walker. Jeffrey and Andy had so much to say about this magnificent motion picture, themselves delivering the longest Parking Lot Critique to date.
