Long before the DC Extended Universe would introduce a live-action take on DC's characters spanning multiple titles, the DC Animated Universe did just that. With Batman: The Animated Series as the fan-favorite of the DCAU, it makes sense that it also spawned one of the franchise's most popular movies. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Based on the Batman: Year Two storyline, Mask of the Phantasm saw the Caped Crusader hunting down a masked vigilante who was killing criminals. Now, fans of arguably DC's most beloved version of an on-screen Batman can bid to win an original production cel from the memorable movie.
