Fantastic movie! This is my 1st review btw, SPOILER WARNING ALSO!

There were references and easter eggs from JoJos Bizarre Adventure, Gurren Laggan, Code Geass, Naruto, Black Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop, and even the 1988 Batman movie from what I gathered!

Story

Very well done, although I wanted more then just 1 movie, here's hoping for a sequel!

Story: 1
Nothing atypical from the realms of DC when they are not actively implementing a propagandistic agenda (Endless resurrections, extraterrestrial invasions, the very conception of duela dent. Nothing too outlandish). In other words, a sentient gorilla sends all profitable DC characters back in time to Feudal Japan. Colonization ensues. All villainous characters transported back in time are now actively ruling sectioned states as feudal lords. Batman, meanwhile, has conveniently obtained back his batmobile, batfamily, and an entire "batclan" during this Feudal Farce. Nightwing dons Final Fantasy Cloud's hair for complimentary purposes while Red Hood's costume equivalent is a red basket which could cause the ...

Two months ago, Pop Team Team epic did their Batman vs. Joker crossover. One month ago, Dethklok animated music video series was continued with 'Batmetal Forever'. And today, Batman Ninja was released. Christopher Nolan was first bitch slapped in the face, then kicked in the nuts and now not even a 5-dimensional bookshelf can save him from the power of the new Batman Trilogy, and neither can it save you.

Story:

Batman is a manly man. This makes many people angry, so they decide to travel to Japan and kick his ass. Unfortunately for them, Batman is also a pretty bro person, so he calls his buddies ...

About as hot garbage as the DC movies in general lately, but for completely different reasons, because "Japan" - that means giant mechs and all the typical Japanese trope stuff.

Now that wouldn't be bad in and of itself. I'm even on board with the premise of going to feudal Japan with Batman. Good idea, could get crazy! But the way it was executed?! I can't write spoilers however, so I'll say this: the ending is so hilariously bad that I just can't help but laugh as I literally tear my hair out. It's so bad it's almost good, but then takes an additional load of ...

I've talked about some Marvel related anime before with Blade & X-men. It seemed about time I looked at something DC related. This film came out in April & June of this year with a screenplay by Nakashima Kazuki and relative newcomer studio, Kamikaze Douga, handling the animation. So, how well does it portray the Dark Knight? Will it surpass Mask of the Phantasm as the best Batman animated film?

Story:

We open with Bats headed for Arkham Asylum where the villainous Gorilla Grodd is conducting an experiment. Now, you may wonder why they would poach a villain from the Flash for this when Bats has such a ...

Overview:

Good Ol' Kazuki Nakashima. This is the madman that wrote Gurren Lagann and Kill La Kill. Now he has returned to tackle the DC comics universe and have his own run on Batman. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Batman were as gloriously stupid and over the top as TTGL? Your wish has been granted!

Plot:

Gorilla Grodd has invented a time machine and ends up sending the Batman Family and several of the Dark Knight's rogues' gallery back to feudal Japan. Why Nakashima went with Grodd when he is supposed to be a Flash villain, I honestly have no idea. Batman ...

I'll preface this by saying a) I watched the English version, which apparently has an entirely different script than the Japanese and b) I haven't seen much of other Batman Animated movies so I don't know if they are all supposed to be like this.

That being said:

TL;DR - This is worse than Suicide Squad.

Maybe this is supposed to be a fun, gimmicky popcorn flick with quirky anime-batman hybrid redesigns and moments, but this was just too much.

Story: absolutely nutty - problems arise and are solved at complete whims and deus ex. Here's an example (spoilers). The batman villian's combine their mecha castles to ...

Prefacing this with the fact that I watched both the English (twice) and Japanese (once) versions of this movie before writing the review.

Batman Ninja is so shamelessly and unapologetically out of its mind. The people who worked on this clearly poured their heart into this movie even if it doesn't follow the conventional molds of what people expect from Batman and anime in general, and that's what makes it so good. They know it's cheesy and over the top, and they know it's a chaotic mess, yet they continue to ramp it up with more crazy shit that leaves you stunned. There are mechs and ...

I overall liked this movie. Characters and story are fun and interesting, art is beautiful and it refrences feudal Japan and Batman comics quite well and music is good fit for this series as well (for similar reasons as artstyle). But where this series looses points in my eyes are pretty much all action scenes.

During action scenes there was too much noise on the screen and thus it was hard to follow what was happening during action scenes. After pretty much every action scene I was like: "Yep.. some things happened during that scene. Although I don't know what excactly". Also what made those ...

Ninja Batman is a cool idea with a nice visual style. I saw a short clip of it on the internet— so hey— I'll check it out.

It's a shame the movie is dreadful.

My biggest gripe with the movie, is the audio. Holy shit. It is BAD. It makes the movie UNWATCHABLE. It's not even the dub quality, (Which may be great to awful, depending on what you think about English VA's) it's the mixing.

Watching this movie, sounds like someone is actively dubbing over EVERYTHING. Anything that is not speech is rendered to a mere whisper. It makes every single moment in the ...

A combination of a great superhero in a great medium, Batman Ninja made for an entertaining romp, giving something for both fans of the character and anime to enjoy.

The story is pretty straightforward, focusing mostly on the Batman vs Joker part. Everything is fast paced and seems to be fuelled by the Rule of Cool (as expected from the writer of Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill), making for some truly awesome stuff going on. Rarely does the story waste time or stretch things out, keeping me entertained from beginning to end.

Speaking of entertained, while some might be sceptical about the CGI, the ...

Superheroes are inherently silly. Every serious superhero is just twisting the idea
of an actual classic heroic figure.
Batman is literally a guy that dresses up like a bat to fight criminals, uses bat-themed weapons, driving a bat-themed car, motorcycle and flying a bat-themed plane. Does that seem realistic to you?

Batman is silly, so why can't there be a silly movie about Batman? If more people were to accept that idea, this movie wouldn't be this overhated. It's not your ordinary Batman film but it's not trying to be. Who the hell expected a serious story from the guy that created Kill la Kill and wrote Gurren ...

It's like DC Gintama, accidentally or not.

I can't believe anyone green-lit this, it takes all the tropes of a JUMP anime and smashes it into one convenient unintentionally hilarious package.

The voice acting is overboard. The cuts are abrupt. The hairstyles are hilarious. Everyone makes alliances of convenience you wouldn't normally see in universe. The plot is so contrived, and doesn't really make a whole lot of sense- but that's nothing abnormal for an OVA DC movie. There are lots of explosions which pad the area you would normally expect to see any plot or character development. It seems to ...

Batman Ninja is a popcorn movie that tries to do a lot of things with a lot of characters. While there are a plethora of ideas for characters, conflicts, and theming, none of them really get developed into anything more than mere story beats. What you're left with is several extremely entertaining set-pieces that are laughably absurd, but without any real meat to them.
If your goal is to spend 90 minutes in fun anime and cartoon clichés, mustache-twirling villains and all, you've come to the right place. If you are looking for something that's not as shallow as a puddle, you should look elsewhere.

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. How can you not like this masterpiece. I mean this has the most bullshit plot twists i've ever seen along with the complete and utter lack of any fucking logic. 10/10 would watch again.

Because MyAnimeList says this is not long enough even though this is literally the best summary of the whole damn movie i'm just going to list some ecchi anime for you all to enjoy.

Yo when i watched this it made me cry because of how bad it is
also at least if you are going to watch it 100% DONT WATCH THE DUB IT IS SO BAD!
I was not a big fan of the story, animation, sub/dub, I experienced 0 enjoyment and i cant see why anyone would like this garbage

this will be a waste of your time do not watch if you dont want to experience pain inside

this is just my opinion, its bad so please tell me why you think its good as I would like to know someones opinion to see if they have the same ...

The art and the animations are great. It seems really odd at the beginning, but the amount of details is incredible. The characters look amazing and the whole film has that ancient Japan look to it.
The story is a bit trash, to be honest though, but what do you expect from the "Batman and all the others time-travel to feudal Japan to become ninjas" anime? Very light spoiler ahead! My main issue with the story was that Power Rangers stuff in the middle of the film. You know when you'll see it.
Still, everything else was very good. I think the creators did a really good ...

This movie is amazing, I loved it. I'm a huge fan of both the Batman characters and Japanese culture and this movie is a beautiful explosion of both. With lots of actual beautiful explosions. The art is fantastic, and the music is gorgeous. Now that I've got that out of the way I can say why other people might not love it as much.

The main idea is that the main characters in Batman get sent to feudal Japan. The characters that get focused on are Batman, Catwoman, Joker, Harley Quinn and Gorilla Grood. I'm certain that the only reason other characters are there ...

Fantastic movie! Never expected such a movie. When I first saw the titel I couldn't believe. And thought by my self its going to be a boring movie. But at the end it was very enjoying too watch. SPOILER WARNING AHEAD!

From what I gathered! There were some references from JoJos Bizarre Adventure, Gurren Laggan, Code Geass, Naruto, Black Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop, and even the 1988 Batman movie.

Very well done, it was your typical batman animation.

Animation was great to watch. Very smooth, and the art style at 'Jokers memory loss' scene. Was very impressive.

the story is kind of all over the place, makes no sense and out of character.


but it was the most hilarious, fever dream experience I've ever had regarding a batman movie. if you are a big fan of batman and like anime then you will find this movie hilarious. I suggest watching it in Japanese because joker's VA is great.

The art design is fun to watch honestly and aside from Damien's horrid hair cut the character designs are great too.

I found the background design a little lacking at times, giving off a feeling of emptiness.

there were a few out of character moments ...
