Warner Bros. Japan Announces BATMAN NINJA Sequel BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE
Warner Bros. Japan has announced they are developing a sequel to the 2018 anime film Batman Ninja, and the sequel is titled Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League.
The movie will be directed by Junpei Mizusaki, who directed the first film, and Shinji Takagi. The script is written by Kazuki Nakashima, with character design by Takashi Okazaki and music by Yugo Kanno. This is the same creative team that worked on the original film.
No casting details have been shared, but we do know that Koichi Yamadera, the voice of Batman in the 2018 movie, will be reprising his role.
There are no details on the story, but the first film “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.”
