Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League Casts Its Big Bad (And What This Means For The Dark Knight)

As a long-time fan who’s seen my fair share of Batman adaptations, I can confidently say that the upcoming sequel to 2018’s “Batman Ninja,” titled “Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League,” has got me genuinely excited! The twist with Ra’s Al Ghul as a major villain is intriguing, especially considering his desire to forge a new world at the expense of most of humanity. It’s like he’s channeling his inner Thanos, but instead of snap fingers, we get Lazarus Pits!

2018’s “Batman Ninja” showcased a unique portrayal of Batman, unlike any other in the extensive history of Gotham’s night-time guardian within the DC universe. The story unfolds with Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting comrades mysteriously finding themselves in feudal Japan, where Batman engages in battle against his typical rogues gallery, each villain sporting a transformation to blend seamlessly into the period. In the latest news, Warner Bros has been drip-feeding details about the upcoming sequel, “Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League.” However, the main antagonist of this film might surprise you. As Batman and his team clash with an unholy alliance of DC’s most formidable supervillains, a mastermind operates covertly to exploit the chaos unfolding.

In case you weren’t aware, Ra’s Al Ghul has been officially announced as a key antagonist for the upcoming sequel of Batman Ninja, set to release next year. Unlike typical adversaries such as Joker, Scarecrow, or Penguin, Ra’s Al Ghul aims to create a new world order, with himself at its helm, for the betterment of humanity. However, his methods involve eliminating most of the current population to ensure Earth’s survival. With the power of the Lazarus Pits, allowing him near-immortality in comic book lore, his inclusion in this grand plan is fitting.

The Demon’s Head Rises

At the Tokyo Comic-Con this year, it was disclosed that voice actor Takaya Kamikawa is set to voice a new antagonist in the movie titled “Dark Steel” within the Batman Ninja.

Fortunately, Kamikawa boasts a significant resume in the anime industry, with many notable villain roles under his belt.

As a devoted fan, let me share some exciting news! If you’re not up-to-date, you might not know that Takaya has brilliantly brought the Anti-Spiral character to life in the captivating world of Gurren Lagann. Interestingly enough, this villain made an appearance in Super Robot Wars too! In the vast anime universe, Kamikawa has graced us with his talents in Naruto Shippuden, The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, and Star Wars: Visions. Next year, we can’t wait to see how he breathes life into one of Batman’s most formidable adversaries in the upcoming animated movie!

Who Is The Yakuza League?

As I delve deeper into this captivating gaming world, the identity of the new baddie’s voice echoes, leaving me pondering. The doppelgangers of DC’s formidable heroes are still enshrouded in mystery. So far, the Yakuza League has introduced its sinister counterparts – Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman, but there’s a crucial piece missing: an evil Superman. Although a darker version of the Man of Steel might appear in the upcoming Batman Ninja sequel, we’re still waiting to catch a glimpse of what this villain will look like.
