"Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" Movie Night | Sun, Jul 24, 2022 7:00 PM EST

In this animated feature set in the 1940s, the troubled yet heroic Batman (Kevin Conroy) is pitted against a mysterious figure who is rubbing out Gotham City's most dangerous criminals, and who many believe is the caped crusader himself.

You will be getting a video before the month is over—it has just been a long haul to finally find the energy.
