Written by Tamara Lazic July 5, 2024

The previously announced Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League anime movie revealed the key visual and teaser trailer at this year’s Anime Expo. Kamikaze Douga is animating the sequel to the 2018 Batman Ninja movie.

Jumpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi are directing the movie with Kazuki Nakashima on the screenplay. Takashi Okazaki is in charge of the character designs and Yugo Kanno is composing the music.

The main staff commented on the upcoming movie:

Jumpei Mizusaki:
I’m a co-director for Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League. I’m currently getting everything together to make the film more exciting, with the screenplay by Mr. Nakashima, character design by Mr. Okazaki, music by Mr. Kanno. The prelim version is already so exciting. I’m looking forward to bringing the completed work to you. I’m proud of the work, and hope you’ll enjoy it!

Shinji Takagi:
I joined this project as a co-director after being invited by Mr. Mizusaki. “Batman Ninja” (2018). I understand my role is to put together Mr. Nakashima’s freewheeling but meticulously-structured script and Mr. Mizusaki’s edgy direction. We are making a never-before-before Batman anime film with Mr. Okazaki’s incredibly cool designs, Kamikaze Douga’s amazing CGI animation, Mr. Kanno’s music, and legendary voice cast. I hope you’ll all watch and enjoy it.

Kazuki Nakashima:
I’m in charge of screenplay. The first trailer contains only tiny fragments of Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League and the full 90 minutes is filled with even more crazy sequences!! The content is so intense that it might make your head spin, so please enjoy that dizzying sensation. It’s another crazy film you will enjoy.

Takashi Okazaki:
I created character designs for Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League. It will take some time before we can reveal everything, but we’ll do our best to bring new visuals and designs to you as soon as possible. Please look forward to it!

In addition to the trailer and key visual, the Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League also unveiled a set of character visuals. The information was shared during a Warner Bros. Anime Expo 2024 panel, which will be available on the Warner Bros. Japan Anime YouTube channel at the end of July. The movie also teased new information for the Batman Day, which takes place on September 21.
