The Dark Knight is finally set to make his anime return. Warner Bros. Japan LLC has announced it is already in production on Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, a sequel to 2018’s Batman Ninja.
Batman Ninja brought Bruce Wayne back to Japan’s Warring States period to defeat some of his most famous enemies-turned-feudal lords. Now, the same team behind that film—director Jumpei Mizusaki, writer Kazuki Nakashima, character designer Takashi Okazaki, and composer Yugo Kanno—are back for the sequel.
This time around, Shinji Takagi will co-direct alongside Mizusaki. And the Batman Ninja movie will also see Koichi Yamadera return as the voice of Batman in the Japanese-language version.
While the new Batman Ninja movie’s announcement didn’t include an official synopsis, the movie’s title reveals who Batman will take on this time. And no matter what time period the Caped Crusader takes on the Yakuza, it’ll be a battle worth watching.
