Andrea Was Saved by Batman from The Joker[]

Ok, this part here that I keep editing: "Andrea, in the guise of the Phantasm, proceeded to kill all of the old mob bosses and would have killed the Joker if Batman had not stopped her. " is WRONG. That's not what happens. Andrea does go out and kill off the old mob bosses, but when she gets to The Joker, he turns the tables on her and almost gets her killed in one of his death traps. Batman saves her, beats The Joker himself, and THEN Andrea grabs The Joker. At this point Batman tries to get her to not kill him, but she ignores him and disappears in a fog with Joker. She only lets him go because she realized he no longer had his sanity, NOT because Batman convinced her not to kill him.

I watched it again, and I don't see how the original version is incorrect. It condenses the timeline, but is not wrong. --Tupka217 10:52, February 28, 2015 (UTC)
How could you have possibly watched it again and still be wrong. "Andrea, in the guise of the Phantasm, proceeded to kill all of the old mob bosses and would have killed the Joker if Batman had not stopped her." is what is written, THAT IS WRONG. That isn't what happened at all. Ya she killed some of the old mob bosses (she actually didn't kill all, The Joker was the one who killed Valestra), and yes she confronted The Joker, but she lost and had to be saved by Batman. Did you just ignore the giant fan part? After Batman himself defeats The Joker, Phantasm apprehends The Joker, Batman tells her to stop, but she disappears with him anyways. After that, we never see her in the movie again, but we know she chose to spare The Joker for some reason.
According to the DCAUwiki for her, it says that "A later issue of the comic based on the series explained the circumstances under which both Joker and Phantasm survived the blast; Phantasm, in fact, hesitated for a second when carrying Joker to the core of the explosion, seeing he was no longer her father's cold-hearted killer, but rather a grinning lunatic with no sense of right and wrong. Because of this hesitation, the blast detonated before either was in range."
That is what really happened. Batman didn't stop her from killing The Joker, it was the other way around that occurred. She needed to be SAVED from him. Do you get it now? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kenny U (talk • contribs).


It's not wrong. As I said, it's a shortened version. It condenses the final fight into half a sentence. She went after him, Batman intervened. It could use finetuning, but it's not incorrect. --Tupka217 19:02, February 28, 2015 (UTC)
