While there, they become involved, willing or not, in a local power struggle.<\/p>\n<p>And it sounds like it won&#8217;t be a garden variety superhero story, according to director Jumpei Mizusaki has described the film as how Japan sees Batman, and ot the other way around. Though at that mention, I couldn&#8217;t help but think of Bhp Kidd&#8217;s BAT-MANGA&#8230; though I&#8217;m pretty sure that&#8217;s not what Jumpei is talking about. Either way, it&#8217;ll be interesting to see how that plays out.<\/p>\n<p>But honestly, if anything, you had me at Batman\/ninja\/anime, because the trailer looks bad ass!<\/p>\n<p>Though one thing that is disheartening to see, and something I&#8217;m seeing more and more in Japanese animation&#8230; the transition to CG. Where in the States, animation transition to CG has been more shaded\/shaped ala Pixar&#8230; Japan&#8217;s animation industry seems to be taking CG and working to mimic 2D animation. One can only imagine to achieve complex shot\/sequences, while working to keep the illusion of 2D to create a more exciting experience.<\/p>\n<p>Which is all well and good. But I miss my hand-draw animation.<\/p>\n<p>EITHER WAY, BATMAN NINJA looks bad ass, and is expected to hit Blu-Ray sometime in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/io9.gizmodo.com\/the-first-trailer-for-the-batman-ninja-anime-is-a-glori-1820907529\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>io9<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s right Boys and Girls, Warner Brothers Japan has debut a bizarrely AMAZING trailer for an upcoming anime, BATMAN NINJA!
