Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero / Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

Sadly lives in the shadow of the more popular Bat movie: "The Mask of the Phantasm". This is certainly no slouch. While that one is a personal Bruce Wayne story, this is Mr. Freeze's.Highlight: Tight narrative and fantastic characterization with no wasted scenes, when the runtime is just slightly over 60 mins!A must-watch if you're a fan of Batman: The Animated Series, or just well-written movies that focus on antagonists in general.

Sub-Zero is really a two part episode from Batman: The Animated Series from the 90s which focus alot on Barbara Gordon and one of the underrated complex villians of the Batman universe Mr. Freeze who steals what he needs in order to save his beloved wife's life who suffers from a rare disease. This was one of my favorite episode as a kid because it focus on Batgirl and I like how Dick and Barbara date and fight crime as civilians and also as their alter egos. One of my favorite scene was the date scene when Dick fights off Mr. Freeze's minions trying to kidnap Barbara and tries to chase them down on the bike scene. I miss the cool action scenes in the cartoons from the 80s and 90s. It was a great story.However, I really purchased this DVD for one of my favorite Batman movies Mask of the Phantasm. This is both a masked crusader movie and an origin Batman movie. It focus on the relationship of Bruce and his former flame Andrea. The one woman he would have given up his cape to marry. The movie perfectly blends the past and present day. Even though it's an animated movie, the issues were adult and it treated the fans with intelligent. The score was stunning. Animation beautifully drawn. The backdrop of Gotham City gorgeous. This was the first animated Batman movies and it was a masterpiece.Some of my favorite scenes were the cute meeting between Bruce and Andrea, Bruce fighting off thieves from stealing and when he leaps on top of that motorcycle to punch the bad guy. Bruce's inner conflict of wanting to avenge his parents but still wanting to live a normal life. The two timer old timer scene with the Joker or the love scene between Andrea and Bruce. This movie had so many awesome scenes I still relish from my childhood to adulthood.One of the best movies period with an ill fated love and bittersweet but poignant ending and an amazing score and soundtrack capturing the feel of the movie. If you love The Dark Knight, this is among the best Masked Detective stories

As a huge Batman fan I actually missed this one when it originally came out because I was so focused on the "Batman & Robin" film which was extremely disappointing. As of late I have stayed away from live action Batman and have really been digging into the animated library and I must say SubZero is a true gem. The storyline here is much stronger than the live action, Victor Fries has more depth (as the character development was superior here) Most notably was the absence of cheesy lines from Mr. Freeze and the writers made me care about this character. I wish DC would have just released this instead of Batman & Robin. There are three reasons this movie left such a lasting impression on me 1) We didn't see much of Batman this time around (which was actually okay for me) mainly because the screenwriters/voice actors created such an emotional connection with Mr. Freeze that had me wanting him captured in the beginning but feeling sincere empathy for him & his wife later. For a Batman movie with rare screen time of the Caped Crusader, its nothing short of amazing that this film was able to keep my interest. 2) They didn't try to go overtop. There was never a time where something from the animated film reminded me of the live action or vice versa. I was able to accept both versions of the movie for what they are. This feature was great because I was able to understand Freeze's motivation behind his actions better than Batman & Robin. 3) Nobody felt out of place in this movie. Everybody served a purpose in helping push the story forward. Overall this movie was brilliant, I received it in 3 days, the voice acting is stellar & this further validates the reason Batman is the greatest superhero of all time. He has the best villains, most entertaining stories and "where does he get those wonderful toys?" 5 Stars

I have been waiting for WB to remaster these classics for years and now they're finally here! The first one they released was Mask of the Phantasm, probably the second greatest Batman feature film of all time (after Dark Knight, obviously) and now we have Sub Zero. The rest of the Animated Series is due later this year.But about this one in particular, I have to admit that when I first saw it 20 years ago I wasn't impressed, possibly due to the terrible impression Batman and Robin had left upon the world, Schwarzenegger's performance in particular. And it honestly doesn't even come close to the greatness of Mask of the Phantasm, but that movie is truly special to me.Maybe it's the fact that it looks so pretty now thanks to the remaster, and that it's been a long time since I first watched it, but I really enjoyed this movie. It feels like some of the better episodes of the Animated Series, like it could have been a great 3-parter on the show had they not gone the feature route.Batman is always awesome but Robin, Batgirl, and Freeze are all written extremely well and have a lot to do in this movie. I highly recommend the blu ray version if you don't already own the dvd. And if you do own it already, I would say sell the dvd or give it away and upgrade. It's worth it and it will give WB more incentive to keep producing high quality remasters of this classsic series.

I put in both sides of the disc and it says phantasm is region locked while Sub Zero works perfectly fine

un buen combo tanto el de batman y mr freeze sub zero y el clasico de batman mask of the phantasm un dvd para la coleccion y un producto de muy buena calidad...satisfecho con la compra

Parfait. Contrairement au blu-ray de "Batman et le fantôme masqué" paru en même temps, il s'agit ici du bon doublage français, le même que dans la série animée diffusée à la télé. Le long-métrage est au format 4:3 original contrairement au "Fantôme Masqué" qui, lui, est en 16/9. L'image est d'une qualité exceptionnelle égale à celle des récentes productions animée de DC/Warner. Aucun défaut n'apparaît à l'écran contrairement aux précédentes versions DVD. En bonus, se trouvent tous les épisodes des différentes séries animées "Batman" où apparaît le personnage de Mr Freeze ("Batman - La série animée", "Les nouvelles aventures de Batman" (considérée en DVD comme la quatrième saison de "Batman - la série animée") et "Batman la relève"). Notez que ces épisodes sont proposés uniquement en VO sous-titré français.
