Batman Ninja

Batman Ninja (2018) drops the Dark Knight into feudal Japan, and you can watch online on iFILM. Gorilla Grodd's time-displacement machine scatters Batman, his allies and his worst enemies four centuries into the past, far from anything Gotham ever prepared him for.

In the age of samurai, the rogues' gallery has already settled in as warring feudal lords, with the Joker eyeing the whole country as his prize. None of Batman's high-tech toys work here — no Batmobile, no gadgets, just a blade, his wits and a sprawling Bat-family. Catwoman, the Robins, Nightwing and Red Hood all get pulled into a war for a unified Japan, where castles fold up into giant mecha and the climax tips into pure visual madness.

Animated by Kamikaze Douga, the film blends ukiyo-e brushwork with explosive CG to deliver the strangest, most stylish Batman ever put to screen. It's a genre swing made for anime fans and DC readers who are tired of the usual brooding Gotham mood. Stream Batman Ninja (2018) online on iFILM.
