Batman Collection DVD 3-Pack (Mask of the Phantasm / SubZero / Return of the Joker)

Customer Reviews:

Decent collection of Batman Animated films........2007-05-15

I loved these as a Kid, and now as an adult I still enjoy these. Good stuff.

Excellent animated movies.......2007-03-09

Mask of the Phantasim is an oustanding Batman movie. Good plot, great animation, and action. Just like the animated series, but this is an original movie. The fight scene in the end when the Joker tries to escape on a jet pack is pretty cool.

Return of the Joker is an original movie from the Batman Beyond animated series. I prefer the original Batman, but this is a pretty darn good animated movie. It shows the last battle between the original Batman and the Joker, and the Joker returns from the dead to cause problems for the new Batman, and his mentor Bruce Wayne.

Sub-Zero is pretty decent. great explosion scenes in the end when Batman and Robin rescue Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) from Mr. Freeze.

This is a MUST for Batman fans!!!

so is Joker CUT or UNCUT?.......2006-12-09

alright, this is getting a bit confusing...
so we finished watching the 3 films from the batman original movies box set, excellent stuff, especially Return of the Joker

now i was annoyed at the DVD being full screen
so we went online and did a little research... then outpopped all these questions we can't seem to find true answers to:

1. the RotJ that comes with this boxset... is it CUT or UNCUT?
cuz according to amazon, the separately sold UNCUT disc is 77 min, while the separately sold CUT disc is 70 min. and when i checked the info on MY disc? it says 76 min
so then i checked amazon for the box set info, and it says it contains the PG-13 director's version (so i'm assuming it's the UNCUT version?)
THEN i read reviews and have seen several folks saying the RotJ included in this boxset IS the CUT version?
THEN i read several other more reviews & i see someone saying the UNCUT is 4 min longer than the CUT (PG13 vs PG) instead of the 7 min i saw earlier (77 min vs 70 min). but my disc from the boxset says 76 min? so wHAT IS what?

needless to say, all these conflicting infos just left us confused as hell...

***so WHAT EXACTLY is shown on the UNCUT disc that is gone on the CUT disc?
how long r the actual movies from both versions?
if someone can please inform us THE CORRECT INFO then we can finally know for sure if we're missing out on the UNCUT or not...

2. was this film shot in widescreen at all?
what we saw on ours was fullscreen, but then i also read that if it is shown in wide-screen, it's a fake widescreen with added black bars on top/bottom, and by releasing the picture that way it actually makes the image smaller... so then why do we see full screen on our version (from the box set)...??

PLEASE, someone plz clear this up for us, many thanks!

Just some advice take it if you want.......2006-11-18

I borrowed this set from my friend and return of the joker is the CUT version. At least it was on his. The overall boxset it doesn't come with any additional features. It is the exact same version if you buy it separate. Recently I bought them separate. I recommend you search for them individually. I found all three of those to include the batwoman brand new and payed much less then the boxset price. The USED boxset price. I payed less than $10 without countin' shipping. So I say search first, you might get lucky.

If you like the Batman animated series, you'll like these. .......2006-08-09

If you have the cash, why not purchus all three of these hit movies together in one package. Two of them are set during Batman the animated series. In Mask of the Phantasm, the past and present collide for Bruce Wane. Several gangsters in Gothum are being killed by a terrifying figure known only as the Phantasm. And Batman is accused of being the murderer. Now, he must discover the identity of this mysterious assassin, and keep one step ahead of the Joker as well. As far as I know, this movie may be set some time around the first season of the animated series.
In Subzero, which seems to take place directly after the events in episode 84(Deep Freeze), Mister Freeze is desperate to find a blood transfusion for his beloved wife, who's stasis tube was shattered. The Comissioner's daughter, Barbara, has the appropriate blood type. Now Batman has to rescue her.
Return of the Joker is set during the Batman Beyond animated series. It seems as if Batman's greatest nemesis has returned, but an aged Bruce Wane refuses to believe that this clown is the real deal. Now Bruce's successer Terry must do all he can to find the answers. Fans of the series are in for a real treat along the way as well. This one's one of my favs. So enjoy this set if you choose to purchus it.
