My favorite Batman movie now looks better than ever thanks to this 4K remaster

My favorite Batman movie – and maybe yours too – is getting a la🀅vish 4K remaster release later this year.

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, the 1993 Batman: The Animated Series movie, is being re-released in Ultra HD in cel🌠ebration of its 30th anniversary. It’ll be available to buy digitally and on Blu-ray from September 12.

You only have to look at the 4K Mask of the Phantasm trailer above to see why th🔥is is a big deal. This is, for my money, the best on-screen Batman story, looking and sounding as crisp as the day it was released in cinemas. We’re already getting ♋goosebumps thinking about how some of these scenes are going to look in 4K.

For the uninitiated, Mask of the Phantasm sees the Caped Crusader on the hu🅺nt of the mysterious Phantasm, a villain who is intent on framing Batman for the murder of several crime lords.

Yes, we have a soft spot for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Dark Knight and 1989’s Batman too, but Mask of the Phantasm is the complete package. Kevin Conroy give🌼s a never-better performance as Batman, while also diving deep into Bruce Wꩵayne’s past – and psyche. Former flame Andrea Beaumont (Dana Delany) also arrives on the scene, complicating matters further.

Now for the technical bits: the Mask of the Phantasm 4K remaster is sourced from the original negative of the theatrical cut, with 4K scans removing any dirt or scratches. You’ll be pleasꦕed to know, however, that the film grain and animation cels are untouched, preserving the gorgeous art-deco look of the original.

The release will also be bundled in with 'Kevin Conroy: I Am The Knight', a special tribute to the Batman actor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:who passed away in 2022. Batman: The Animated Se💞ries’🥃 cast and crew will share their memories of Conroy in the feature.
