Overall, Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League (2025) is a fun animated movie with my favorite superhero of all time and I highly recommend it to any Batman fan.

I'd seen the earlier Batman Ninja, and while that wasn't my cup of ocha, I liked it well enough. I've been in Japan long enough to appreciate the anime way of doing things. It all comes down to either liking the way the animators do it over here--lots of posing, dialogue reveals, and over speechifying--versus the N. American way of letting the action deliver the goods.

Well, this movie is a mix of both. It starts off promisingly with the literal raining of Yakuza over Gotham and then it turns weird. The good part is that the film delivers an interesting look at what contemporary Japan is like vs an alternate Japan. The animation is also very decent, IMO, and I appreciated the detail.

However, the story is more than a bit muddled with a lot of pseudo-scientific terms tossed in. Additionally, the voices really aren't that great. I'm used to hearing Kevin Conroy's voice as Batman, and this actor was nothing like the best of the best that was Conroy. The other voices were all right, but nothing special.

I'm always up for a new DC animated flick, and while this is hardly the best DC movie around, it's also far from the worst. Call it an interesting take on parallel worlds.

This follow-up to the visually striking Batman Ninja expands its imaginative scope to the entire Justice League, delivering a Japanese reimagining that is both visually dazzling and brimming with creativity. Beyond its impressive animation and vibrant art style, the film joyfully embraces the quirks and nuances of Japanese culture and media, seamlessly blending them with familiar DC lore. The result is not only refreshingly original but also incredibly entertaining. Clearly, the filmmakers approach their subject matter with great respect and affection, creating a delightful fusion of East and West.

I recently watched Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League (2025) on MAX. The storyline follows a mysterious void that opens over Gotham, sucking Batman and his legion of Robins into an alternate version of Japan inhabited by twisted versions of the Justice League. Some are allies, others are enemies-but to return home, Batman must find a way to separate the merged realities.

This picture is directed by Junpei Mizusaki (Batman Ninja) and Shinji Takagi (Steamboy), and features the voice talents of Koichi Yamadera (Ghost in the Shell 2), Molly Searcy (Gate), and Yûki Kaji (Attack on Titan).

The film presents some fun and original ideas, though it does borrow from familiar Justice League storylines. Some writing choices and character portrayals worked better than others. Personally, I loved the opening-it felt like a stylish blend of James Bond and samurai cinema. I especially enjoyed the portrayals of Red Hood, Nightwing, Robin, Diana, Joker, Harley Quinn, and Ra's Al Ghul. Superman and Green Lantern were serviceable, but Batman and Aquaman didn't quite land for me.

That said, the action sequences, the depiction of character powers, and the overall anime aesthetic were exciting and engaging. Each battle felt unpredictable, and the concept of Yakuza falling from the sky for nonstop showdowns was chaotic in the best way. I even appreciated how Batman and Superman ultimately shifted the tide.

In conclusion, Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League is a visually inventive and action-packed addition to the DC animated universe. It's far from perfect, but still worth checking out. I'd give it a 5.5-6/10.
