Highly Anticipated 'Batman' Anime Reveals Release Date
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The Dark Knight isn't done with feudal era Japan. 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.

DC Studios Is Finally Making a ‘Mister Miracle' Animated Series
Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios have announced that the next adult animated series will be Mister Miracle. According to Deadline, which initially broke the news, Mister Miracle comic book writer Tom King (who is also producing HBO's Lanterns TV series) will serve as the showrunner and executive producer of the animated series. While no release date or cast announcements were coupled with the Mister Miracle's announcement, the show, which follows the eponymous DC character, will be based on the award-winning 2017 comic book series, created by King and artist Mitch Gerads. According to the logline for the series, Scott Free (AKA Mister Miracle) is a renowned celebrity known best for being the greatest escape artist alive. His latest stunt is to see if he can escape death itself. Naturally, things go 'horribly wrong' in Scott's 'perfect life,' he's built with his big, strong warrior wife, Big Barda. That thing being a war between their home worlds of Apokolips and New Genesis thanks to Mister Miracle's adoptive father Darkseid (yikes) seemingly finally getting his hands on the Anti-Life Equation, a weapon granting him power to rule over the universe. 'As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace,' says the logline. 'But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he's found with the woman he loves. It continues: 'And so begins the odyssey of Scott Free, Mister Miracle: a harrowing, hilarious, heart wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.' According to a press release from Warner Bros, Mister Miracle will serve as Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios' second adult animated series. The first of which (supposedly, barring the Harley Quinn Animated series) is Creature Commandos, whose second season is in production. In tandem with the announcement of Mister Miracle, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation reaffirmed other recently greenlit animated series, including Starfire!, My Adventures with Green Lantern and DC Super Powers. While the news of a Mister Miracle series will come to many DC fans as a pleasant surprise, this isn't the first time DC has attempted to bring the comic book character to life. Back in 2018, DC announced director Ava DuVernay was set to direct a New Gods movie, which would've seen Barda and Miracle on the silver screen–a project that King was set to co-write on, but was ultimately scrapped in 2021. With DC Studios under James Gunn unveiling a revamped roadmap of sorts, featuring a new array of projects, Mister Miracle's return to the menu is a pleasant surprise for the ultimate wife guy's diehard fans.
