Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Directed by Bob Persichetti
influenced by Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Visuals
Ample praise was rightly directed at the unique visual slant of the likes of The Incredibles and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, but the phantasmagoric look of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will doubtless ensnare more than just filmgoers.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is Batman: Mask of the Phantasm for this generation: an animated film that may sit outside the barriers of its live-action counterparts, but packs an impressive punch where it refuses to be ignored.
The Batman (2022)
Directed by Matt Reeves
influenced by Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Themes Plot
Reeves and co-writer Peter Craig, alongside Pattinson, also delve into Batman’s psyche in a way I haven’t seen since Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
Giving us the best detective story to date — yes, including animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) — is co-writer/director Matt Reeves’s The Batman exploring the Dark Knight (this time with Robert Pattinson taking his turn) in the second year of his crusade to convert a cesspool of a city into something redeemable by serving as a figure of vengeance.
