COMICS: Tom King's BATMAN/CATWOMAN Series Will Introduce The Phantasm To The Main DC Continuity

The animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is held in high regard by many fans, but even after two decades, the mysterious femme fatale Phantasm has yet to make the jump from screen to page the same way characters like Harley Quinn have.

However, it appears that will all change in January 2020, as writer Tom King revealed via his official Twitter account an image of the character, presumably teasing her debut in his upcoming Batman/Catwoman series.

No other details on his version of The Phantasm have been revealed, so it's currently unclear if Andrea Beaumont will be the woman behind the mask, or if the deadly friend/foe will once again have heavy ties to Bruce Wayne.

DC Comics' Batman/Catwoman book, which will be written by Tom King with art from Clay Mann, is a 12-issue series that's expected to kick off after King's final Batman issue is released this December.

Batman Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman movie and it's not even close.

It's also one of the best CBM's ever and despite the fact that the word "underrated" is often used to defend trash nowadays, this movie truly is an underrated and overlooked gem.

@tmp3 - I don't get why they changed some of the animation for the Remaster though. I only watched Robin's Reckoning remastered but I found 2-3 changes that made it worse in my opinion.

@Nightwing1015 - I was like 4 or 5 when I saw it on the air on Fox Kids, so I don't even remember the pre-HD remaster that well

After like twenty [frick]ing years, she’s finally joining the mainstream DC continuity! I’ve been wanting this for years!

Hope they keep her origin of Andrea Beaumont.

On this occasion, the villain has to be the daughter of the Reaper.

@Repian - well Peter J Tomasi seems to be setting up a reaper story in detective comics so probably not

Gotta hand it to King, nice scheme! Teaser image is a bit theatrical, but hey, who am I to talk? ;)
