5.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a comic . . ., October 26, 2004

This review is from: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm: The Animated Movie Novelisation (Paperback)

I'm writing in response to the previous reviewer, who complained that a lot of dialogue, etc. had been cut from the film in order to fit the story into comic form. Unfortunately, he or she has obviously reviewed the wrong item, as this version of Mask of the Phantasm is a full-fledged paperback novel, NOT a comic or illustrated book! It contains lots of the original movie dialogue--plus a whole lot more, including some clever explanations left out of the film. (Can you tell that I loved it?) The author also adapted several of the batman animated TV shows (Shadows of the Past, Dual to the Death, The Dragon and the Bat). Wish they'd do more of these.

This review is from: Batman: Masks of the Phantasm (Mass Market Paperback)

A junior version of the Batman - The Animated Series movie novelisation, there is an adult or young adult, or whichever by Geary Gravel, as well. An old girlfriend of Batman's is more than she seems.
She even manages to hold her own with the Joker, and realises she doesn't see things the way Bruce does.
Alfred also whips out a good one :
Batman turned: "You think you know everything about me, don't you?"
Alfred crossed his arms on his chest. "I diapered your bottom," he grumbled. "I bloody well ought to, Sir."

This review is from: Batman: Masks of the Phantasm (Mass Market Paperback)

All across Gotham City, mobsters are dying - murdered. At the scene of each killing, witnesses see a mysterious masked figure in a long dark cloak. The word spreads though the city like wildfire... Batman has crossed the line, become a criminal in the name of fighting crime. And suddenly the Dark Knight is hunted by the very lawmen he once risked his life to asisit.

While Batman searches for the masked murderer of Gotham's crime lords, an old flame unexpectedlyreenters his life. She is the first woman Bruce Wayne ever loved - and the only person who could make him consider giving up his life as a crime fighter. Now, as the mysterious figure dubbed the Phantasm spreads terror throughout Gotham City, Batman must decide whether his rediscovered love is worth fighting for - even if it means hanging up his cape and cowl for good.
