As reported by Deadline, Warner Bros. announced that "Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League" will stream on Max on July 3, 2025. The feature is a sequel to the 2018 direct-to-video film "Batman Ninja". "BATMAN NINJA VS. YAKUZA LEAGUE" streams on Max on July 3! #DC — Animation on Max (@AnimationOnMax) June 13, 2025 Read More: DC's 'Mister Miracle' Animated Series in the Works, See the First Look Image "Batman Ninja" reimagined the titular superhero with Japanese anime, sending Bruce Wayne back to feudal-era Japan and introducing fans to anime versions of classic Batman allies and enemies. "Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League" seeks to do the same, this time pitting Batman and his friends against alternate versions of the Justice League. Examples of these Justice Leaguer variants include Kuraku the Man of Steel (Superman), Ahsa the Aqua Dragon (Aquaman), and Daiana Amazone the Eagle Goddess (Wonder Woman). "Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League" released for digital purchase in March and physical media releases followed in April. Junpei Mizsuaki, director of "Batman Ninja" returns to co-direct "Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League" alongside Shinji Takagi. Kazuki Nakashima wrote the screenplay. Koichi Yamadera once more performs the voice-acting for Batman. This news comes in the wake of another major DC animation announcement: the development of a "Mister Miracle" series based on the acclaimed comic book of the same name. Tom King, who wrote the comic book series, will serve as showrunner. When it comes to the DC library, adaptations of the Dark Knight continue to be one of the most reliable draws for fans. Between animated fare like "Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League" and more adult-oriented spinoffs like "The Penguin" and Joaquin Phoenix's "Joker" films, Batman represents a whole media empire on its own. But DC Studios isn't depending solely on the Dark Knight to win over fans. Next on its major release list is the (apparently) Batman-less "Superman" hitting theaters on July 11. After that, the next DCU film will be next year's "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow". Batman isn't due to enter the DCU until "The Brave and the Bold" but so far very little about that upcoming feature has been revealed.
