8. BEST: Batman vs. The Phantasm vs. The Joker
(Batman: Mask of The Phantasm)
Mask of The Phantasm is my favorite Batman movie ever.
I love this thing, and was thrilled to hear that they were going to release a remaster this year. By the end of the film, the vicious vigilante known as The Phantasm has set (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM PLEASE SKIP TO THE NEXT ENTRY IS YOU DON'T WANT IT RUINED FOR YOU) her sights on The Joker.
And Batman needs to stop her from carrying out this plan. So they all fight in The Joker's new hideout, an old decrepit World's fair pavilion depicting the world of tomorrow. The retro-future aesthetic is right in step with Batman's art design, and it's awesome to see the animators get to play a bit.
In addition, this is the scariest Joker got in the original Batman The Animated Series run. So seeing a matchup between the new villain, the old villain, and the hero makes for a stunning climax.
