Mask of the Phantasm is a very good animated Batman movie. A person, the Phantasm (Stacy Keach) dressed like Batman is taking out Gotham's crime bosses. This feature also talks of Batman (Kevin Conroy) almost being engaged, but his girlfriend, Andrea Beaumont (Dana Delany) leaves town and he doesn't see her for several years. She returns about the same time as the Phantasm showing up. One of the crime bosses goes to the Joker (Mark Hamill) for protection. The Joker goes too far and kills the man himself.
Turns out the criminal element is out to kill Miss Beaumont's father based on past debts. That is why they left town. He is the Phantasm. The mobsters eventually kill him, the Joker. Miss Beaumont takes his place and goes after the Joker.
Great movie, and the romance was just not meant to be.
