Batman Ninja vs. Liga Yakuza

Look, I get some will like it, but if you weren't a fan of Batman Ninja, save yourself the grief.

It's more of the same, but the characters are the Justice League turned into Yakuza family characters. So your Justice League characters anime'd up with over the top battles amongst themselves. Like the last one, as far as I can remember.

As somebody that enjoys the DCAU and Amime... this is a swing and a miss in my mind.

If you enjoyed the first one, you'll probably like this one too. Though the current rating sitting at a 6.1 suggests that there aren't too many that think this was worth the watch.

I went into this with rather low expectations, I'm more into anime than Batman, big fan of the Yakuza games.

But this still delivered in a "fun stupid" way that's right on the mark for why I love stuff out of Japan.

Usually I don't like cell-shaded animation, but some of the character designs in this have a charme, the animation is nothing to write home about, but does its job.

Just don't take this too seriously, it's not supposed to be, it's the kind of "Sharknado" like guilty pleasure type of movie.

Had so much fun with it that it even got me to watch the "prequel", and tbh that was just "stupid bad", while this one hits the magic middle ground of "stupid good".

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.

The film dives into an exciting new adventure, picking up right after the events of the first part. Batman's family is shocked to discover a drastic change in the world, directly affecting Gotham City.

Why is it good?

It masterfully blends anime and comic book cultures, packed with Easter eggs, action, and emotional, breathtaking scenes. While keeping Batman's signature intelligence and dark charm, the movie delivers a fantastic and engaging story. It's truly entertaining, and I highly recommend it-especially if you're a fan of anime and DC characters!

Why This Movie Is a Masterpiece This film is a perfect blend of two artistic worlds: the intricate, fast-paced animation of Japanese anime and the gritty, immersive storytelling of Western comics. The result? A visually stunning and emotionally captivating film that stays true to both Batman's legacy and the traditions of anime storytelling.

Here's why Batman Ninja vs. Yozaka is an absolute must-watch:

A Unique Cultural Fusion: The film seamlessly integrates the aesthetic and storytelling techniques of anime with the classic noir atmosphere of Gotham City. The animation is breathtaking, featuring dynamic fight sequences, bold colors, and strikingly detailed character designs.

Action-Packed and Emotionally Intense: From heart-pounding samurai duels to explosive ninja battles, the movie never has a dull moment. Yet, it also takes time to explore Batman's psyche, his struggles with destiny, and the weight of being Gotham's protector across different timelines.

Easter Eggs for Fans: Whether you're a hardcore DC fan or a longtime anime lover, the film is packed with hidden details, references to Batman's extensive lore, and nods to classic samurai cinema.

A Worthy Villain: Yozaka is not just another adversary; he is a compelling, well-developed antagonist with his own philosophy and code of honor. Unlike the chaotic Joker or the power-hungry Bane, Yozaka presents a challenge that forces Batman to rethink his strategies and face new moral dilemmas.

An improvement on the previous film that's seems to make fun at itself by getting Robin to voice some of the criticism that the first film received.

The storyline is easier to follow and you aren't left confused for too long before things connect and make sense but I would say that you should try your best to just enjoy this instead of questioning some of the nonsense. E.g. 'Batman would have figured this out by now' etc.

I'm not sure if this follows a comic book story line but it is very creative on a level above what we come to expect with alternative versions of people that aren't too far fetched.
