Spin-off of the Fox Network's "Batman: The Animated
Series." The villain is The Phantasm, a vigilante who cuts a silhouette that's
similar to the Dark Knight's.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - There is some kissing and a sexual encounter between Bruce
and a girlfriend is (subtly) implied.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - There's lots of punching and beating, sometimes occurring
in close-up. Also a lot of shooting, though no one gets hit by a bullet. And, several
explosions. The Joker employs a poison that causes victims to laugh themselves to death --
we see one corpse with a ghoulish grin on its face. The Phantasm wears a razor-sharp
scythe on his hand, and threatens people with it, though nobody actually gets cut by the
weapon.
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Mental illness, revenge, vigilantism, organized crime.
MESSAGE - This is a story about turning points, and a meditation on
the-path-not-taken idea.
