Batman Ninja has quite weak plotting and terrible direction. It relies so much on action and it never becomes anything deeper than its initial concept on paper. But it's fun in well executed action scenes, the characters are solid, the score is cool and it's worth seeing for its animation alone which is absolutely impressive in its artistry, cool designs and anime style. It's literally a concept art brought to life which was intriguing to witness.

One of the oddest films I have ever seen hands down. I have no idea what was going on for majority of the film. The voice acting was pretty bad, and the animation was odd - the style changed so often I can't say if it was good or bad. Despite all of this I will not forget it - a recommendation if you're gonna watch with friends and not take it seriously, but it's not good.

Cliche after Cliche.

None of the characters have any personality including the Batman. Every line from a villain is of the "HAHA now I'll get you All" variety and every line from the Batman is delivered with the same dour monotone as if the Batman's "Darkness" exists only in his deep voice.

The artwork is good. Hard to understand why anyone would invest in million dollar artwork and then combine it with a ten dollar script.

Batman Ninja is an incredibly stylish and original anime that just so happens to feature Batman and co. While the animation occasionally falters and the English dub can best be described as 'serviceable', it succeeds at delivering an excellent and decidedly different animated Batman feature. I truly hope that DC will continue to deliver more animated features like Batman Ninja.

8/10

• Many of the lowest reviews on IMDB seem to take issue with the Japanese influences and the departure from the usual 'grounded' Batman universe(s). If you dislike Japanese media and/or can't handle a film that will greatly differ from popular Batman movies & source material, then this is not for you.

It's a really fun movie, superb animation and character design. People need to give credit to the design team for they help to tell the story very much beyond what's immediately available in the storyline. I loved the anime style 2d-like 3D artwork, the art and details are amazing! I'm not a DC fan, I don't get offended by the merge of Batman and his tech into feudal era Japan, it was a good blend of high tech batmobiles and olden days utilities, it goes to show how adaptable the characters are into absorbing resources for their own aims. Did I mention the CG was great? Easily the best 2D rendition of 3D I have seen so far.

Honestly don't understand the negative reviews that the film recieved for not abiding by the traditional Batman script structure. It's a very unique almost comedic take on Batman from a completely different cultural point of view. I appreciate the fusion of styles and didn't really expect much from it other than pure entertainment. I can understand the disappointment in expecting a detective feel and getting this but if you take it more lightly and enjoy the stylistic choices and cultural fusion it's a nice watch with some really nicely hand-drawn scenes thrown in there too. There isn't a need for a sequel but it was a nice one-time project.

Artwork, great. Voice acting, ok... But story??? I don't know WHO is giving 9's & 10's for this, but if you like this Batman story hey, more power to you.

I was done with this after the first 20 minutes. I watched it all just cause I couldn't believe the writing.

Good grief...

The 4 of the 10 is for the artwork. It is nice.

Come on people! It's Batman Ninja! It has monkeys, DC characters, samurais, and giant fighting robots. It's everything I wanted, minus the bad script.

Yes, the dialogue is cliche and cheesy. Yes, it's heavily inspired by all types of anime. Yes, it doesn't take itself seriously. But, why does that have to be a bad thing? Look, i'll admit this isn't for everyone, though I believe they should give it a chance. To address the main complaint, the plot, it's just fun. Not every installment has to be dark and gritty to be good, and forgive me for being a bit "unprofessional", but i just wish you people would get it through your thick ******* skulls that batman isn't always some sort of depressed recluse and his stories aren't always the same tone. I swear it's the Lego movie all over again. My few complaints are young robin, I won't say spoilers but know he is a bit annoying. Sometimes you might lose track of where the movie is, though it's a rare occurrence. None of these are turn-offs. I won't take up too much of your time, so i'll leave my recommendations. Anime fans of any genre, and anyone looking for a good time. And yes, people over 10 CAN watch. You know who you are, fellow anonymous reviewer.

The reviews this movie is getting is saying more of the state of DC fans and only wanting super serious stories and cant even enjoy something that is obviously supposed to be over the top and ridiculous on purpose. I for one loved the hilarious nature of this movie. Good grief people... we have sooooo many serious Batman movies....but heaven forbid we do something different. If you enjoy Anime in any way and like Batman in his many forms. This is absolutely worth a watch. Dont go buy some of these ultra pissed off, fan boy ,knee jerk reaction reviews, Anyone who says the story is silly and stupid...is kind of missing the point. Fun Dumb Batman movie..

I refuse to believe the 10/10 reviews are real...

I dont know who is green lighting these projects lately at dc animation but they should be fired. This movie would be entertaining to a young child who knows very little about batman and is super into weird animes.

It drops the ball on what could be an interesting concept of a fuedal era batman and ends up with an over the top mess of cliches it struggles to stick with throughout. Story line sucks and feels lazy, animation is "meh" and inconsistent without purpose.

Though I wasn't impressed with Gotham By Gaslight (2018) I respected what they were trying to do and it was an interesting attempt at an alternative Batman tale.

With Batman Ninja I expected more of the same, little did I realise I was about to watch the worst animated superhero movie I've ever seen.

Japanese made and set in fuedal Japan we see Batman, some allies and a host of villians ripped through time and into one of the biggest embarassments I've seen in years.

With alternating animation styles (None of which I like), a laughable story which contradicts itself multiple times and more than a little influence from Power Rangers this is beyond words.

I'd say it was a Batman comedy like the Adam West throwbacks or Lego Batman if it didn't take itself so seriously. I mean I am truly lost for words just how bad this is, it starts off poor and gradually just gets more and more ridiculous until I found my jaw actually dropping at the level of stupidity.

Batman Ninja is even worse than the title suggests, I want to rant about this atrocity but if I begin this will be a insanely long review.

I'm not sure who this is aimed at but I'd be surprised if even the most hardcore of DC fans will enjoy this.

The Good:

It's original I'll give it that

The Bad:

Not fond of the animation style

Weak voice acting

Story really is quite bad

Whole thing is ridiculous and can't be taken even remotely seriously

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

During feudal Japan the primary language was English

I really enjoyed the creative look created by fusing Batman imagery with Japanese artwork and anime. The movie has some visually stunning moments. However, the plot is pretty dumb, Batman's verbal interactions with joker sound like they were written by a 7 year old and the plot doesn't make much sense.

Honestly, every 10 star and 1 star review should be ignored. This movie is decent for what it is, not great, but mildly entertaining and fans of the animated Batman series might find something to enjoy here.

Not a fan of The Joker's english voice. The sub version is probably better.

Listen to the other reviewers. It was bad, very very bad. Anime was crazy and most of the time it was like a telltale series cut scene anime that was nonsensical. The story was all over the place messy and not easy to follow because it kept changing one second to the next drastically. I struggled to keep watching it I constantly checked how much time was left I had to struggle through. Worst Batman anime to date even worse than the killing joke, which was terrible. Dull predictable story. I wanted to like this but in the end I just couldn't.

The art is vivid, gorgeous, and new. Concept ideas like this don't always work but some how it did this time. Not so sure about the story telling though, the plot does make sense to anime fans, but not very much to comic fans. It's very influenced by Japan, to an extent that many Anime Easter eggs are shown.

This movie will appeal to the Japanese audience more than the American counterpart.

I love Batman. I love anime. I love cheesy anime conversations. But I hate an emptied character and script despite a huge potential.

Batman is NEVER about his gadgets. Look at the Arkham Knight game, Red Hood thinks Batman is all about his gadgets and nothing without them, but Batman proves him wrong with his gigantic intellect and training. Granted, he relies on his gadgets on his day-to-day operations. However he never despairs when he loses any of them. On the contrary, he willingly sacrifice his gadgets and tools like they are nothing, because he is the weapon.

If anyone says "its's an interpretation of Batman" an interpretation is about nuances, settings, surroundings; not the main subject. If you take what makes Batman out of Batman, it's not an interpretation, it's Dark Knight Rises...

Decent artwork though...

The machine that whisked the Gotham gang away wasn't into the past, but into another genre of animation, storytelling and film. In this over-the-top rendition of our caped crusader, we are making homages to another style of animation film that incorporates tropes from another style of film altogether and that is what makes this film so fun. The quality of everything created from voice acting, to sound and animation quality is quite exceptional. There is a lot of nuance to all that is Japan and Japanimation and it just happens to star the Batman. I think fans picking this up thinking it is a Western Batman film might be somewhat disappointed but fans who understand animation from Japan know know that over-the-top is the norm and over-the-top starring the Batman is something we've never had before and that is okay. It is animation, it is supposed to be fun, it takes the Bat-gang to another genre and explores it completely and it is exciting and fun. I think anime fans will understand what this is trying to do and will enjoy it immensely. Leave your disbelieve at home and enjoy Batman Animation, truly and entirely in Japan.

Don't go into this movie expecting a serious movie or anything like that, this film is simply for the lols, so if you're the type of person who can't shut off their brain to watch a movie then don't watch this, you won't like it.

The art and re-imagining of the aesthetics of batman characters is nice to look at and it's just a crazy animation, but don't expect batman to act like a ninja throughout the film like i did, instead the "ninja batman" is just the build up of this movie.

Watch it if you enjoy anime, just don't expect a really great movie with an in-depth story or whatever.

Edit: I would also like to mention that i'm not a DC or batman fanboy, so that may be the reason why i'm giving a positive review.
