A new clip from Batman: Soul of the Dragon, the upcoming animated DC Comics movie, has been released. Our friends over at IGN shared the clip seen in the video above. "When we meet Richard Dragon, he is a super spy and he's a good guy, fighting against the evil ways of the world but in his past," Mark Dacascos, the voice of Richard Dragon, says in the video above. "The way he got to be the super spy, was training with an incredible martial arts teacher named O-Sensei. He spent most of his youth learning about the martial arts and the philosophy and virtue, respect, and discipline. Eventually he grows up and puts it to good use." The clip ends with a look at Richard Dragon training.

You can watch the clip with some new insight to the character from the man responsible for voicing him in the video above - and you can also watch the full trailer for Batman: Soul of the Dragon.
