Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League

This follow-up to the visually striking Batman Ninja expands its imaginative scope to the entire Justice League, delivering a Japanese reimagining that is both visually dazzling and brimming with creativity. Beyond its impressive animation and vibrant art style, the film joyfully embraces the quirks and nuances of Japanese culture and media, seamlessly blending them with familiar DC lore. The result is not only refreshingly original but also incredibly entertaining. Clearly, the filmmakers approach their subject matter with great respect and affection, creating a delightful fusion of East and West.

I recently watched Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League (2025) on MAX. The storyline follows a mysterious void that opens over Gotham, sucking Batman and his legion of Robins into an alternate version of Japan inhabited by twisted versions of the Justice League. Some are allies, others are enemies-but to return home, Batman must find a way to separate the merged realities.

This picture is directed by Junpei Mizusaki (Batman Ninja) and Shinji Takagi (Steamboy), and features the voice talents of Koichi Yamadera (Ghost in the Shell 2), Molly Searcy (Gate), and Yûki Kaji (Attack on Titan).

The film presents some fun and original ideas, though it does borrow from familiar Justice League storylines. Some writing choices and character portrayals worked better than others. Personally, I loved the opening-it felt like a stylish blend of James Bond and samurai cinema. I especially enjoyed the portrayals of Red Hood, Nightwing, Robin, Diana, Joker, Harley Quinn, and Ra's Al Ghul. Superman and Green Lantern were serviceable, but Batman and Aquaman didn't quite land for me.

That said, the action sequences, the depiction of character powers, and the overall anime aesthetic were exciting and engaging. Each battle felt unpredictable, and the concept of Yakuza falling from the sky for nonstop showdowns was chaotic in the best way. I even appreciated how Batman and Superman ultimately shifted the tide.

In conclusion, Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League is a visually inventive and action-packed addition to the DC animated universe. It's far from perfect, but still worth checking out. I'd give it a 5.5-6/10.

This movie was a lot of fun. The first one was ok, but this one was an improvement in every way. I loved that the writers figured out that the Bat Family is basically a science ninja team and ran with the idea. I loved all the 70's throwback stuff. I really loved how much the writers seemed to know the characters. All of the characters kept their core aspects and there was some pretty cool and creative uses of their powers, which I always like to see.

Definitely not a flick to take too seriously, but its a good time for sure.

The only thing I didn't get was the different art styles. In Batman Ninja the art style changed for dramatic effect but in this one it seems to just switch back and forth kinda randomly. Maybe its the switch between 2D and 3D animation? Not sure, but it was distracting.

Man, i cant believed what i saw. This animated is dope. Its was better then previous and i watch the scene where batman vs superman. Man, that scene is insane cool. Japanese dub is actually very good and sexy. Why this animated soo good? The soundtrack, voice, animated, story and characters is too good. It feel like i waiting for this so long after dc 52 animated movie was so good back then. Tommorowverse animated is dog shtt. I wish i can see more batman ninja in the future. Please make it trilogy will be perfect. Also damien characters are way childish but funny tho i love it lol he still with his grandpa make it look funny to watch. Really love to see bat family in one animted movie.. really helped the story, my rate for this movie 100000000000000/10.
