Summary
A cloaked figure with a skull-like mask and a blade for a hand is killing Gotham's aging mob bosses, and because witnesses see only a caped silhouette, the police and the press pin the murders on Batman. At the same time Andrea Beaumont returns to the city after years abroad, and her reappearance opens a long flashback to the period when Bruce Wayne was assembling his first crude vigilante identity and came close to abandoning it for her. The two threads converge on the surviving gangsters and on the Joker, once an enforcer for the same crew. This animated feature spun off from Batman: The Animated Series, with Kevin Conroy, Dana Delany and Mark Hamill.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is a 1993 action, adventure and animation film. It was made in the United States. It is rated PG. The runtime is 76 minutes.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2,457 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them. 175 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 185 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Batman: Mask of the Phantasm lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 175.
