Batman Ninja [Blu-ray] [2018]

My kind of Dark Knight! The way the screenwriter portrays Batman in this film is...just short of amazing!

Batman Ninja was a Japanese only, original anime that took anime community and Batman fans by storm. There were a couple animated shorts made that just made this full length feature that much more enticing. The idea of Japanese artists putting their flavor on the Dark Knight genre is a dream come true. Look, I'm not going to spend your time giving you the history of anime nerd life. ( Some other time..promise.) If you love Batman animations and are the slightest of anime fan, this is a must have. Now I will say that as with traditional Ninja Scroll types, this feature is not for kids. Use your own discretion when viewing this with your friends and family. It's edgy. I don't think there is any nudity, but there are definitely sexual undertones and adult language is very much present. I honestly believe every Batman fan should have this in their library.

I was really skeptical about buying this movie cause i wasn't sure about it cause it was an anime adaptation to the batman series but i would have to say that this was probably my favorite animated batman movie to bad it wasn't a series but its also good its not cause it didn't have a chance to get ruined by fans trying to draw it out forever.

Fantastic animation, great use of characters, very unique Batman story. Batman is no stranger to the anime style (as seen in "Batman: Gotham Knight"), but this is definitely an anime story. Even if you're not an anime fan, if you love Batman, you should check this out. A super fun story! My only critique... Robin's hair! :)

This is one wild ride! It is a Batman anime. And they throw in everything and the kitchen sink from mech to samurais. At times, I absolutely loved it. At other times, I was wondering why they had thrown in things that didn't seem to fit (like the mech). But then, if you watch the special features you find out that there were different creators who contributed their visions, which explains why. The one director/writer was surprised by the addition of some things to the film. It is still quite a ride. I do recommend it. The style may be a bit jarring for some, but there is a lot here to enjoy. Best Buy had this on sale for under $10 on Blu-ray, which was too good to pass up.

This movie didn't win a lot of people over, but I really liked it. It has the action of One Punch Man mixed with the cel-shading style of Knights of Sidonia. But with Batman characters. It is also insanely over the top and dripping with usual anime tropes. The characters are Shogun style hyperbole of Batman's notorious rogues like Penguin, Joker (Jokah!), Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Two Face, etc. and they are all in 18th Century Meiji Industrial Revolution Japan. And it follows the warrior's path we so often see in Japanese anime with the protagonist overcoming personal demons to be the best that they can. Somehow a troop of monkeys gets involved and a huge robotic palace- just watch it, it'll make sense in context. I highly recommend this to any anime fans, and even if you aren't it's still a unique spin on Batman.

Batman ninja seemed like a really cool concept and I was very interested in it. Popped it in and had no idea of the roller coaster I was in for, this movie was all over the place and DC let Japanese animators create it so it’s very anime oriented. It clearly shows to with all the crazy things that happen in it but is it unique? Is it fun? Is it amazing? Yes! Yes! Yes!

An interesting story line of time travel. The story was a bit slow in the beginning but picks up about a quarter of the way. All of Batman's major foes are present along with his many gallery of Robins and former sidekicks. The animation is a bit more graphically styled than my usual flair but enjoyable. Overall an entertaining film for the casual fan.
