One of the wildest Batman films of all time, Batman Ninja, is getting a sequel that sees the feudal Japan-era incarnation of the Caped Crusader face down evil Yakuza versions of the Justice League. If that sounds like something you’d like to see, you can grab Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League on Blu-ray for $23 ahead of its April 15 release.
$23 | Releases April 15
While the first Batman Ninja saw the titular hero and his sidekicks take on the Joker, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, and several other supervillains, the sequel pits the Caped Crusader against Superman and the rest of the Justice League, who are now all members of the Yakuza. To make matters even more complicated, Japan has disappeared from the world map, and a huge island called “Hinomoto” has appeared in the sky over Gotham, giving Batman plenty of work to do if he wants to restore his timeline.
In case you missed it the first Batman Ninja film, you can pick up the steelbook edition for just $16.58 (was $25). The 3D-anime film was a unique take on the DC hero, taking him out of the modern and futuristic settings where most Batman stories take place in and reimagining him as a shinobi vigilante in feudal Japan. The movie was animated by Kamikaze Douga and YamatoWorks, with character designs by Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki.
Plenty of other animated Batman films and TV series are available on Blu-ray, many of which are on sale. Some noteworthy options include Batman: The Complete Animated Series for $26 (was $80), and its incredible Mask of the Phantasm movie for $17 (was $34). You can also grab its sci-fi sequel series Batman Beyond: The Complete Series for $35 (was $55), and the the underrated 2004 animated Batman series for $36 (was $70).
For a bundle deal, you can pick up Batman’s 85th Anniversary Collection and enjoy 10 of his animated adventures in crisp 4K for $120 (was $205). This box set also comes with a digital version of each movie and a 24-page commemorative booklet. If you want to save even more, the Batman: 80th Anniversary Collection is also on sale for just $50 (was $90), and it offers really good value for money as you’re getting 18 animated Batman movies on Blu-ray. While these are regular 1080p Blu-rays, the animation still looks great, and the selection includes Batman Ninja alongside other great films like The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 and 2, Assault on Arkham, Gotham By Gaslight, and more.
