I'd seen the earlier Batman Ninja, and while that wasn't my cup of ocha, I liked it well enough. I've been in Japan long enough to appreciate the anime way of doing things. It all comes down to either liking the way the animators do it over here--lots of posing, dialogue reveals, and over speechifying--versus the N. American way of letting the action deliver the goods.

Well, this movie is a mix of both. It starts off promisingly with the literal raining of Yakuza over Gotham and then it turns weird. The good part is that the film delivers an interesting look at what contemporary Japan is like vs an alternate Japan. The animation is also very decent, IMO, and I appreciated the detail.

However, the story is more than a bit muddled with a lot of pseudo-scientific terms tossed in. Additionally, the voices really aren't that great. I'm used to hearing Kevin Conroy's voice as Batman, and this actor was nothing like the best of the best that was Conroy. The other voices were all right, but nothing special.

I'm always up for a new DC animated flick, and while this is hardly the best DC movie around, it's also far from the worst. Call it an interesting take on parallel worlds.
