The Dark Knight is back—anime style—but this time, Gotham is under siege by a Yakuza-infested Justice League! Warner Bros. Japan and Kamikaze Douga are bringing us the highly anticipated sequel to Batman Ninja (2018), titled Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, promising a mind-blowing mix of cyberpunk, samurai action, and classic DC Comics lore.
The official trailer has just dropped, teasing an epic clash between Batman and his allies against a twisted, crime-lord version of the Justice League. With stunning animation, Japanese folklore-inspired designs, and explosive action, this sequel looks like a must-watch for both DC fans and anime lovers alike.
The Story: A War Above Gotham
Only one day after returning from their time-traveling adventure in Batman Ninja, Batman and his allies realize something is terribly wrong—Japan is gone. In its place, a mysterious floating island, Hinomoto, hovers above Gotham. At its peak, the Yakuza League reigns supreme, ruling with superpowers and iron fists—and they look eerily similar to the Justice League.
With no explanation for the disappearance of Japan or the real Justice League, Batman and his Bat-Family must uncover the truth while battling an army of Yakuza warriors—some of whom are dangerous, reimagined versions of his former allies.
Can the World’s Greatest Detective and his team reclaim Gotham? Or will they fall before the might of the Yakuza League’s leader, Kuraku Hagane—Superman himself?

What Makes This Sequel Stand Out?
🔥 Elevated Animation & Art Direction
Batman Ninja blew fans away with stunning animation inspired by Sengoku-era Japan. Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League takes it even further, combining traditional Japanese aesthetics with a futuristic, cyberpunk edge. The Yakuza League’s designs are incredibly detailed, blending tattoos, katanas, and samurai armor with their iconic superhero looks.
⚔️ A Unique Take on the Justice League
This isn’t just another Elseworlds tale—this film explores what happens when the world’s greatest heroes become crime lords. Watching Batman face off against a Superman who rules with absolute power will be a game-changing showdown unlike anything seen before.
🤯 Mind-Bending Storytelling
Director Junpei Mizusaki and writer Kazuki Nakashima (the duo behind Batman Ninja) return with a plot that throws Gotham into absolute chaos. The mystery of Japan’s disappearance and the origins of the Yakuza League promise to keep audiences hooked until the final battle.
Final Thoughts: Is This the Batman Anime We’ve Been Waiting For?
Absolutely. With breathtaking animation, an insane concept, and a fresh take on DC’s most iconic characters, Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League is shaping up to be one of the most exciting animated superhero films of 2025.
Get ready for a samurai-fueled, Yakuza-controlled Gotham, because when this film drops, Batman’s fight for justice will be deadlier than ever.
🗡️ The battle begins soon. Will you be watching? 🦇
