Product Information

Bruce Wayne is released from prison on bail. Hagen survives the assault by Daggett's men, but is transformed into a shapeshifting mutant. With his newfound powers, Hagen, now calling himself Clayface, decides to get revenge on Daggett, and Batman must bring Daggett to justice and stop Clayface before innocent people are hurt. Selina Kyle is kidnapped by the villainous genetic engineer Dr. Emile Dorian and transformed into a humanoid cat, providing his man-cat hybrid named Tygrus with a mate. Batman attempts to rescue Selina, but is captured and used to test Dorian's greatest creation, as Tygrus hunts Batman through the island's jungles. Actor Robert Pattinson, who portrays Batman in The Batman (2022), has cited Batman: Mask of the Phantasm as an example of Batman media that effectively captured the character's psyche in a fashion he hoped his interpretation would emulate.

That means The Heart of Batman, along with episode commentaries and featurettes, are disc-only. Given that most new releases include the special features with the digital copies, this is a letdown.Believing himself to be the reincarnation of Zeus, Maximillian Zeus steals an experimental electric cannon, planning to use it to rule from his skyscraper, "Mount Olympus", high above Gotham City.

Also, it's odd that Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman isn't a part of the set, though that's likely due to the fact that it's been readily available on Blu-ray for some time and wasn't part of Warner's recent remaster efforts for Batman: The Animated Series and it's first two spin-off movies. In terms of other missing content, there's really nothing else noteworthy that's been left out. And, given that the The Batman/Superman Movie consists of three Superman: The Animated Series episodes, it's inclusion was not expected here. Same goes for some of the Batman-guesting Superman: The Animated Series crossover episodes and the infamous "lost episode," which is not an actual episode but the fully-animated cut scenes from the The Adventures of Batman & Robin Sega CD game. We get the entire Batman: The Animated Series proper and, with the included bonus content, it's a fairly extensive collection of extras. Appointment in Crime Alley", "Sins of the Father", "Legends of the Dark Knight", "Torch Song" [121] Gotham's new district attorney Janet Van Dorn is no fan of vigilante Batman, but both end up captured by Batman's greatest enemies after a prison riot in Arkham Asylum. They are then put on trial by the Joker ( judge) and Two-Face ( prosecutor) with the Ventriloquist as bailiff and a plainly biased jury of Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, the Mad Hatter, Killer Croc, the Scarecrow, and the Riddler. Though clearly a kangaroo trial, Van Dorn is told that if she serves as Batman's defense attorney and proves that Batman is not the cause of these villains' criminal behavior, they will both be set free. But the villains have little intention of following through on their deal. So, we know how amazing Batman: The Animated Series is, but what about the actual Deluxe Limited Edition Blu-ray release of the series? Honestly, whatever expectations I had were easily surpassed over and over when making my way through the collection.When the glamorous magician Zatanna is framed for a robbery during her act, Batman swings to her defense. Zatanna is grateful, though a little puzzled, by Batman's commitment to proving her innocence. Still, the two heroes unite and use the skills her father Zatara taught them to expose and combat the culprit: an evil illusionist named Montague Kane. The show also featured numerous adaptations of various Batman comics stories. The following episodes were adaptations: These episodes aired under the title The New Batman Adventures. They also featured an updated/simplified style of animation that would come to define the DC Animated Universe going forward. Fox approached Bruce Timm to make a spin-off centered on Catwoman, but the project was abandoned shortly thereafter.
