Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League (Action, Animation, Fantasy, Sci-Fi)

“Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League,” the sequel to the 2018 anime feature film “Batman Ninja” from Warner Bros. Japan, is now available to own on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and Digital from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment. Additionally, the film is available as a two-film Digital collection featuring both 2018’s “Batman Ninja” and 2025’s “Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League.”

Featuring characters from DC reimagined by Japan’s finest artists, the all-new feature film finds Batman and his friends battling familiar faces transformed into villains in an alternate universe in a desperate attempt to save Gotham.

After traveling back to the warring states period and saving history from being altered in the previous film, “Batman Ninja,” the Batman family has returned to present-day Gotham City. The next day, they witness a startling event — the Japanese island has disappeared, and a giant island called Hinomoto appears in the sky over Gotham City. Soon, countless Yakuza descend from the sky and attack the people of Gotham City. And, the Justice League has disappeared.

Detecting a strange energy reaction in the sky, Batman (voiced by Kôichi Yamadera, “Ghost in the Shell”) heads for Hinomoto to find its underlying cause. There, the Dark Knight finds a world where the Yakuza war with each other, and brutality reigns without honor or humanity. At the top of the world is the Yakuza League, a group of superpowered individuals who look suspiciously like the Justice League. The Yakuza League is invading Gotham and, to save the city, Batman and his allies are in for the fight of their lives.

“Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League” is available in both Japanese- and English-language versions. Bonus features on the release include the featurettes “Bringing the League to Japan” and “Anime Action: Choreographing the Fights.”
