Welcome back to another edition of Wednesday Wishlist, where I waste time blogging about animated movies that aren’t currently available on Blu-ray, but should be. Today’s title may be the best movie version of a TV show ever made: Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm.
As much of a fan of the Batman animated TV show I was growing up, I missed out on seeing Phantasm on the big screen. I finally caught up with it on VHS, and I’ve been a big fan ever since. Out of every Batman film made, I would say it’s my third favorite, beating out all the Tim Burton movies.
I think Warner Bros. knows that they have a loyal fanbase of young adults who grew up with this show (Superman/Batman – Public Enemies is a good example), so maybe someday in the next few years we’ll get to see this on Blu-ray.

I really hope Warner Bros. decides to release this on Blu-ray as well. I’m sure many fans would agree this is the best Batman film ever.
