In case you haven’t heard, a Batman anime film called Batman Ninja will be released in the U.S. on digital April 24th and Blu-ray on May 8th. The words “anime”, “Batman”, and “Ninja” in the same sentence is enough to get anyone excited, but if you check out the trailer below you’ll completely freak out. You’ll also notice that the characters in the film look like they were inspired by Tamashii Nations’ S.H. Figuarts Movie Realization lineup, so it’s not surprising that the figures have become a reality.

“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.”
Batman Ninja was created by some of Japan’s top animation industry talents, including director Jumpei Mizusaki (opening animation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), writer Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann), and character designer Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai). Award-winning screenwriters Leo Chu and Eric Garcia (Supah Ninjas, Afro Samurai) adapted the film’s script to English.
