RELEASE
The release will also include an all-new featurette Kevin Conroy: I Am The Knight. The behind-the-scenes featurette takes a look at the legacy of Kevin Conroy. The legendary voice actor who voiced Batman for 30 years in film, television, video games, and more.
The 4K HDR/SDR remaster of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was sourced from the 1993 Original Cut Camera Negative and was scanned at 4K resolution. The digital restoration was applied to the 4K scans to remove dirt, scratches, and additional anomalies, but special care was given to not touch the film grain or the animation cel dirt that was part of the original artwork. This is the first time since its theatrical release that it is presented in its 1.85 aspect ratio. The original 2.0 mix and the 5.1 tracks were remastered to remove or improve defects such as pops, ticks, dropouts, and distortion.
