Warner Bros. Japan Announces 'Batman Ninja' Sequel In Production

Warner Bros. Japan recently revealed its plans to create a sequel to the 2018 Batman Ninja CG anime film Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League. The studio has announced that further details regarding this exciting project will be shared during the "Warner Bros. Japan presents Suicide Squad ISEKAI and Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League" panel at Anime Expo on July 4, 2024.

The upcoming film at studio Kamikaze Douga will be directed by Junpei Mizusaki, who previously directed the original Batman Ninja. Shinji Takagi will co-direct the film, while Kazuki Nakashima will handle the screenplay. Takashi Okazaki will be responsible for the character designs, and Yugo Kanno will compose the music. Additionally, Koichi Yamadera will reprise his role as the voice of the Caped Crusader for the Japanese release of the film.

Batman Ninja transported Batman to Japan's Warring States era where he faced off against adversaries like The Joker, who had transformed into feudal lords. This DC Animated Movie release was both a critical and financial triumph for Warner Bros. at the time of its debut.
