If you know me, you’ll know that aside from being a big kimono geek I’m also a big comic book geek. So when I saw that DC Animation was collaborating with Kamikaze Douga<\/em> (an anime production studio known for some very bizarre cult titles) on Batman Ninja<\/a> I knew I was going to have to watch it. I had zero plans to review this movie, I initially just thought I’d watch it for fun, since it combines two things I’m very fond of. But then I started watching it and realised I had A Lot Of Thoughts that called out to be shared.<\/p>\n

First off, let me say, this movie is a trip and a half<\/em>. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, just be prepared for ninety minutes of utter ridiculousness. The animation studio are the same folks who put out some of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and all of Pop Team Epic, so if you’re familiar with either of those shows you’ll have an idea of the flamboyant craziness to expect. If that intrigues you, click through to read on!<\/p>\n

The plot is a fairly straightforward isekai<\/a> story. It starts out in modern day Gotham, with the Joker triggering a time-travel device that Gorilla Grodd has built in Arkham Asylum. This manages to plunge a bunch of familiar faces from Gotham, both good and evil, into feudal Japan. This is is definitely where one of the strongest aspects – the art direction and character design – shine through.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
