They went from being mocked online for their lack of content to adding a substantial amount of new subscribers, along with a plethora of content that appears to be a much better selection than seen in previous years. It appears that this trend isn\u2019t dying anytime soon, as Netflix recently added the 1993 animated film <em><strong>Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Netflix\u2019s timing couldn\u2019t have been any better as the <strong>Phantasm<\/strong> anti-hero is currently expected to become a part of the DC Prime Universe. Many fans of the 90s <strong><em>Batman: The Animated Series<\/em><\/strong> will be pleased to rewatch one of the best Batman films regardless of live action, or animated. With <strong>Kevin Conroy\u2019s <\/strong>unmistakable voice as <strong>Bruce\/Batman<\/strong> and <strong>Mark Hamill<\/strong> as <strong>The Joker<\/strong>, <em>Mask of the Phantasm<\/em>, its dark and gritty tone is much more mature than parents might have expected but also plays a large part in why it\u2019s still so popular with kids who grew up with the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar to how the animated series debuted a new villain with <strong>Harleen Quinzel\/Harley Quinn<\/strong>, <em>Mask of the Phantasm<\/em> introduced a new villain specifically for this film that represents Batman battling with ghosts from his past, who to this day remains a classic in the eyes of many Batman fans. Now, thankfully, Netflix gives us an opportunity to rewatch the film without the need to wipe the dust off of our VCR tapes and also gives younger audiences a chance to see for themselves why this is often regarded as one of the best, if not <em>the<\/em> best, Batman film. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nNetflix recently added the 1993 animated film &#8220;Batman: Mask of the Phantasm&#8221; to its library.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=25899\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Netflix Adds &#8220;Batman: Mask of the Phantasm&#8221;&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":25941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,6],"tags":[97,1725,2046,1324,1323,501,2075],"class_list":["post-25899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cartoons","category-comics-2","category-film-tv","tag-batman","tag-batman-the-animated-series","tag-batman-mask-of-the-phantasm","tag-bruce-wayne","tag-kevin-conroy","tag-netflix","tag-phantasm","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Netflix Adds &quot;Batman: Mask of the Phantasm&quot; - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=25899\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Netflix Adds &quot;Batman: Mask of the Phantasm&quot; - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Netflix recently added the 1993 animated film &quot;Batman: Mask of the Phantasm&quot; to its library.
