‘Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League’: Trailer, Release Date, Synopsis, Japanese Cast and Cover Art Unveiled for Anime Sequel

February 26, 2025 / The Animation Blog / 0 Comments

Release date: March 18, 2025 on Digital and April 15, 2025 on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray.

Synopsis: The Batman Family has returned to present-day Gotham City after traveling back to the warring states period and saving history from being altered in the previous film, Batman Ninja.

The next day, they witness a startling event — the Japanese island has disappeared, and a giant island called ‘Hinomoto” appears in the sky over Gotham City. Soon, countless Yakuza descend from the sky and attack the people of Gotham City. And, the Justice League has disappeared.

Detecting a strange energy reaction in the sky, Batman heads for Hinomoto to find its underlying cause. There, the Dark Knight finds a world where the Yakuza war with each other, and brutality reigns without honor or humanity.

At the top of the world is the Yakuza League, a group of superpowered individuals, who look suspiciously like the Justice League. The Yakuza League is invading Gotham and, to save the city, Batman and his allies are in for the fight of their lives.

Directed by Junpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi. Written by Kazuki Nakashima.

‘Watchmen: Chapters I & II’ Official Teaser Trailer: New Animated Adaptation Of Alan Moore’s Iconic Graphic Novel

June 16, 2024 / The Animation Blog / 0 Comments

Release date: August 13, 2024 (Chapter I) and November 26, 2024 (Chapter II).

About the comic: Watchmen was created by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons and colorist John Higgins. It was published monthly by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987 before being collected in a single-volume edition in 1987.

Watchmen originated from a story proposal Moore submitted to DC featuring superhero characters that the company had acquired from Charlton Comics. As Moore’s proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced Moore to create original characters instead.

And the rest is history as Watchmen would go on to become one of the most important and best-selling graphic novels of all time.
