BATMAN NINJA Will Be Adapted into a Manga
Batman Ninja is an anime movie that Warner Bros. released that takes the Caped Crusader back to feudal Japan with his friends and enemies. The movie had a positive reception from fans which inspired Masato Hisa to adapt the story into a manga for the August issue of Monthly Hero’s Magazine. Hisa has previously worked on Grateful Dead, Kamuya Ride, and more.
Batman Ninja takes a journey across the ages as Gorilla Grodd's time displacement machine transports many of Batman's worst enemies to feudal Japan - along with the Dark Knight and a few of his allies. The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the divided land, with the Joker taking the lead among the warring factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies - including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family - to restore order to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.
