DC has released the first teaser trailer for Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League anime film, which is a sequrl to the 2018 film Batman Ninja.
In the trailer, we see Batman (Koichi Yamadera) and Robin thrust into “a world unlike any other”, and it shows off alternate versions of Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and they are a group of Japanese gangsters known as… the Yakuza League.
Batman and Robin will find themselves facing off with this team of villains. If you enjoyed the first movie, there’s no doubt you’ll be excited to see what this new one has to offer.
The movie is directed by Junpei Mizusaki, who directed the first film, and Shinji Takagi. The script is written by Kazuki Nakashima, with character design by Takashi Okazaki and music by Yugo Kanno. This is the same creative team that worked on the original film.
The first film “takes a journey across the ages as Gorilla Grodd’s time displacement machine transports many of Batman’s worst enemies to feudal Japan – along with the Dark Knight and a few of his allies.
“The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the divided land, with the Joker taking the lead among the warring factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies – including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family – to restore order to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.”
Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League is “coming soon” and I imagine it will be released sometime in 2024.
