Review of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) by Mark Caro for Chicago Tribune — 09 Apr 2013
In the end the violence is too realistic (though not terribly graphic) to qualify as cartoony escapism, yet the movie lacks the sophistication, vision or satirical edge to lay claim to any higher purpose. It's merely dark for dark's sake.
