So this is definitely interesting!
My boy sent me this link earlier in the day and this Batman Ninja anime looks dope!
Joker sets up a plan where both of them are flung into the Feudal Era of Japan where Samurai and Ninja are common place. Joker seems to have usurped power as a powerful Shogun (Commander in Chief) of the era with forces at his beck and call.
What's most interesting about this premise is the fact that Batman relies very heavily on his gadgets and technology to fight crime but a lot of his tech is going to be useless in this obsolete era of history so he'll have to make due with the advances of the time. What also makes this great is the fact that Batman fits in this time period perfectly because of the skills he'd built up prior to donning his cowl through martial arts and stealth training. Batman is the ninja of Gotham, he trained with the League of Shadows in some story lines in the DCU (Detective Comics Universe) so it's nothing new to him which is why this setting fits his skillset.
A couple more familiar faces like the cat burglar Catwoman appear as well as Joker's right hand woman Harley Quinn. One of the coolest things you see besides a top knotted Alfred Pennyworth is also Nightwing, The Red Hood, Red Robin and Robin in this era alongside Batman which is a nice touch as these are beloved characters to the Bat-family so getting to see them in action as a ninja group will be highly enjoyable!
Prior to the trailer ending we get a glimpse of a giant mech that Joker is piloting. My guess is Joker brought this mech to the past with him to usurp power prior to Batman reaching that era. I'm sure it'll be the final boss of the movie.
I will say this movie looks pretty dope for what it is and I'm happy it's being made, I just miss traditional animation. I understand it's cheaper to use CGI sometimes but nothing is going to beat traditionally hand drawn animation.
What are your thoughts fam?
