Batman Ninja Trailer: The Dark Knight Fights Crime in Feudal Japan
The Batman Ninja trailer puts the crimefighting struggles of the Dark Knight through the lens of warring ninja and samurai.
The idea that Batman exists as a stealthy, gadget-wielding, contemporary crime-fighting nocturnal ninja may seem like a given at this point, but it’s a fairly recent trope that was ignited by movie and comic book reinventions and far from the 1939 vision of a costumed rope-swinging detective of creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger. However, upcoming anime Batman Ninjanot only embraces said trope, but creatively utilizes it as the basis for an inventive interpretation of the mythology.
Batman Ninja is the brainchild of writer Kazu Nakashima (Futagashira) and designer Takashi Okazaki (Samurai Jack). Junpei Mizusaki will serve as director, breaking a long hiatus from 2005 anime Zoo.
With the feature being in Japanese with English subtitles, Kôichi Yamadera will voice Batman and Wataru Takagi will voice the Joker.
Batman Ninja Trailer
After months of teases, going back to July at San Diego Comic-Con, the Batman Ninja trailer has arrived, or, should I say trailers, since we two of them were released.
As we can see Gotham City has been traded for a highly-stylized quasi-historical version of feudal Japan, where Batman’s crimefighting endeavor sees him take the form of an armored, sword-swinging samurai/ninja hybrid. The solitary, honor-based lifestyle of the samurai suit Bruce Wayne well here and we can see that he’ll face a traditional DC Comics rogues gallery consisting of Catwoman, Two-Face, Gorilla Grodd and, most notably, the Joker, who exists here as a purple-armor-clad cackling samurai whose skills easily match that of Batman’s.
With the feature being in Japanese with English subtitles, Kôichi Yamadera will voice Batman and Wataru Takagi will voice the Joker.
