Gorilla Grodd's time displacement machine transports many of Batman's worst enemies to feudal Japan —along with the Dark Knight and a few of his allies. The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the divided land, with the Joker taking the lead among the warring factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies —including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family— to restore order to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.

Must See Movie...
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
This movie is like an old Power Rangers episode. With huge roboters whivh get tohether to a bigger robot...... Just too bad!!!!
If you're looking for strong characters, a deep plot and biting dialogue then this is unlikely to scratch that itch. However, if you're like me and prefer your superheroes to be big, bold, brash and utterly disdainful of reality, then this is a real treat. It's the antithesis of the po-faced, grittier Batman style that has dominated in recent years. Hang your disbelief from the nearest hook and enjoy one of the most playful and exuberant animations DC have ever been involved with. Transporting a whole bunch of heroes and villains to feudal Japan allows for some highly creative takes on familiar characters and some amazing set-piece battles. Everything is wrapped up in a beautiful art style with textured backgrounds reminiscent of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The fights are pure anime exuberance.By the time you get to the monkeys, you'll have either decided that this really isn't for you or you'll be grinning like a green-haired madman!
Batman Ninja is an anime superhero film based on Batman. Featuring character designs by Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai), it is an interesting but uneven amalgamation of Eastern and Western pop culture.After a fight against Gorilla Grodd, Batman is sucked into a time portal and sent back to feudal Japan. While there, Batman discovers that all of Gotham City's main criminals, including The Joker, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, and Deathstroke, were all sent back in time with him, albeit two years earlier, and are now intent on changing the course of history. Batman must now find a way to stop them and look for a way to return home to the future.While the film has an intriguing concept and great visuals, the overall pacing feels inconsistent and confusing at times. A great deal of anime tropes are shown, likely to remind the audience that this is what a Batman story would look like through Eastern eyes, which at first is enjoyable to see, but it unfortunately becomes stale by the end of the film. The voice acting is good, but the lip syncing was frequently off probably because it was animated for Japanese dialogue and was highly distracting throughout many scenes. This film may be worth seeing for the visuals alone but don't expect it to leave many lasting impressions.I rate it 5.5/10
I'm watching this movie as I type this review. About an hour into it but I'm about to turn it off. Ridiculous plot. I can go on but don't want to waste too much time. Hands down the worst Batman movie ever made and now in my top ten of worst movies of all time.
