Warner Bros. Japan has confirmed the release dates for Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, the sequel to their 2018 anime film Batman Ninja. The movie will be available digitally starting March 18, 2025, and will be released on 4K UHD and Blu-ray on April 15, 2025.
The film will feature both Japanese and English-language versions. Additionally, a two-film Digital collection, pairing Batman Ninja with the new sequel, will also be available on March 18.
Here’s a brief synopsis of the upcoming movie:
“After returning to present-day Gotham City from the warring states period in the previous film, the Batman Family faces an unexpected crisis. The Japanese island has vanished, and a new giant island, ‘Hinomoto,’ appears in the sky above Gotham. Soon, a wave of Yakuza descend from the sky, attacking the city. To make matters worse, the Justice League has disappeared.
Batman detects strange energy in the sky and travels to Hinomoto, only to find a world ruled by brutal Yakuza gangs. At the top of this dangerous world is the Yakuza League, a group of superpowered individuals resembling the Justice League. With Gotham under siege, Batman and his allies must fight to save the city from destruction.”
Details regarding the voice cast have not yet been revealed, but Warner Bros. Japan gave fans a sneak peek at the film during last July’s Anime Expo.
The movie is directed by Jumpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi, with a screenplay by Kazuki Nakashima. The character design is by Takashi Okazaki, and Yugo Kanno composed the film’s music. Kamikaze Douga handled the animation production.
Special features included with the physical and digital releases will be “Bringing Justice to Japan” and “Anime Action: Choreographing the Fights.” (Note: the digital version will not be available in Canada.)
Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League has a runtime of 89 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some violence and language. The movie follows the visual style of its predecessor, which was praised for its unique take on the Batman character by a team of visionary Japanese animators.
