BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE Streams Exclusively On Max On July 3

Warner Bros. Discovery today announced that the DC anime sequel BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE will stream exclusively on Max on THURSDAY, JULY 3.

A sequel to the globally celebrated 2018 anime film "Batman Ninja," this original feature once again reimagines DC's legendary Dark Knight through the lens of Japanese anime, blending iconic characters with bold storytelling and visually stunning animation.

Following his return to present-day Gotham City, in BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE, Batman returns to feudal-era Japan to face off against a mysterious new threat - the Yakuza League - formed from the warped remnants of his greatest allies. He arrives to find a world where the Yakuza war with each other, and brutality reigns without honor or humanity. Fans can expect high-octane action, bold visuals, and fresh twists on beloved DC heroes and villains in this wholly original tale.

Directed by Jumpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi, written by Kazuki Nakashima, with character designs by Takashi Okazaki and music by Yugo Kanno, the core creative team from "Batman Ninja" reunites for the sequel. Renowned voice actor Koichi Yamadera once again lends his voice to the caped crusader.

BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE is a Warner Bros. Japan production in collaboration with Kamikaze Douga and marks the latest example of Warner Bros. Discovery's commitment to original anime storytelling for both local and international audiences.

The film was first teased at Anime Expo 2024 in Los Angeles drawing excitement from fans worldwide.
