Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League Drops New Trailer, Teasing the Arrival of DC's Man of Steel

The highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 anime film Batman Ninja has finally unveiled a new trailer, giving fans a thrilling glimpse into Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League. Set to release digitally on March 18, followed by a 4K UHD and Blu-ray release on April 15, this anime re-imagining of Gotham’s Dark Knight takes the first outing's action to a whole new level. The trailer teases intense battles, breathtaking animation, and the unexpected arrival of Superman, shaking up the power dynamics in feudal Japan.

Following the original films' time-traveling story, according to @batmanninja2018 on X, where Batman and his allies were transported to Japan’s Warring States period, Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League introduces an even greater challenge. With the Joker assembling a formidable Yakuza League, Batman must face an army of twisted historical versions of DC’s greatest heroes. However, the biggest surprise comes with Superman’s entrance, hinting at an epic confrontation between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel in this uniquely stylized world.

Visuals showcase stunning combat sequences featuring Batman, Robin, and other familiar allies clashing with samurai-styled versions of The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.
