Final month, WB revealed a sequel to its 2018 film Batman Ninja was within the works. With the intriguing title of Batman Ninja vs. the Yakuza League, you needed to marvel what the Darkish Knight can be as much as subsequent–and the reply is, battle the Justice League.
Yep, our premise this time is that Batman and Robin (his son Damian) are going up in opposition to period-specific villainous counterparts of his superpowered pals. Apparently, it appears just like the Dynamic Duo are in an alternate model of current day Japan moderately than feudal Japan within the authentic movie, and the characters’ designs mirror that. Aquaman is a fisherman, Surprise Girl a formidable warrior, Flash seems to be a ronin, and Inexperienced Lantern Jessica Cruz wielding an precise lantern to channel her energy. Why have they gone evil? That’s an enormous query mark, but it surely’ll fall to Batman and Robin to take them down and presumably revert them again to their previous selves.
Additionally notably lacking from the lineup right here is Superman. Different tales of Batman preventing the League be sure to have the Man of Metal someplace within the combine, sometimes because the big bad of the entire affair. Possibly WB is holding him out of promoting to keep away from him overshadowing the opposite Yakuza members and this being boiled right down to yet one more “Batman vs. Superman” story. This appears fairly promising regardless; that first film had its followers for being fairly ridiculous, and bringing in Bruce’s coworkers appears like a enjoyable elevation from that. Hopefully we see extra of Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League someday quickly, and that its launch on digital and bodily codecs isn’t too far behind.
