Warner Bros. Japan LLC has announced that production is currently
underway on Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, the sequel to the original anime film Batman Ninja (2018). Like the first film, the made-in-Japan production features DC’s iconic characters with a historic twist.
Batman Ninja follows Batman as he travels back in time to the Warring States Period in Japan, where he must defeat different DC Super-Villains — including The Joker — who have become feudal lords. Reprising his role from the original film, Koichi Yamadera, “the man with the seven-colored voice,” will once again star as the Caped Crusader in Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League.
The sequel is directed by Jumpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi from a screenplay by Kazuki Nakashima, with character design by Takashi Okazaki and music by Yugo Kanno. Produced by Warner Bros. Japan, the film’s animation is provided by Kamikaze Douga.
Updates and new content will be announced at Warner Bros. Japan’s Stage Event at Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles in July. The presentation will spotlight Suicide Squad ISEKAI as wekk as Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League.
