Batman Ninja

Batman Ninja is an incredibly stylish and original anime that just so happens to feature Batman and co. While the animation occasionally falters and the English dub can best be described as 'serviceable', it succeeds at delivering an excellent and decidedly different animated Batman feature. I truly hope that DC will continue to deliver more animated features like Batman Ninja.

8/10

• Many of the lowest reviews on IMDB seem to take issue with the Japanese influences and the departure from the usual 'grounded' Batman universe(s). If you dislike Japanese media and/or can't handle a film that will greatly differ from popular Batman movies & source material, then this is not for you.

Artwork, great. Voice acting, ok... But story??? I don't know WHO is giving 9's & 10's for this, but if you like this Batman story hey, more power to you.

I was done with this after the first 20 minutes. I watched it all just cause I couldn't believe the writing.

Good grief...

The 4 of the 10 is for the artwork. It is nice.

Cliche after Cliche.

None of the characters have any personality including the Batman. Every line from a villain is of the "HAHA now I'll get you All" variety and every line from the Batman is delivered with the same dour monotone as if the Batman's "Darkness" exists only in his deep voice.

The artwork is good. Hard to understand why anyone would invest in million dollar artwork and then combine it with a ten dollar script.

One of the oddest films I have ever seen hands down. I have no idea what was going on for majority of the film. The voice acting was pretty bad, and the animation was odd - the style changed so often I can't say if it was good or bad. Despite all of this I will not forget it - a recommendation if you're gonna watch with friends and not take it seriously, but it's not good.

I kept seeing the DVD at Walmart, but never felt enough intrigue to pick it up. When it came on Tubi, I decided, what the heck. This would have become a donation at the thrift store if I had bought the DVD, because once was enough. Why the action and the stakes were strong enough. The plot and set up were utter nonsense, all to include each of the villains for fan service. It felt like they were trying to give a new angle on each of them in their separate dominions in feudal Japan, but nothing fit. The Joker's storyline was interesting, but all the rest felt pointless.

I say give it a whirl of it comes up for free, but don't pay anything for it.
