Review of Batman Ninja (2018) by Bily T — 26 May 2018

Batman Ninja was a good movie, this time we have an anime style Batman adaptation, some may think it sounds odd and worrying of an anime version of Batman, but this was actually pretty well done.

We get a lot of different things from Batman Ninja such as different animation, character designs, art styles and voice actors comparing it to other Batman animated movies. It sounded worrying at first when hearing the different voices but some of them are pretty decent.

This movie while it does have a good story, some moments are either way too short or too long and a little bit boring. The character designs while are odd at first, they are very good later once you get used to them, the cast is a bit of a mix for me as some actors are good for what characters they play like Roger Craig Smith as Batman and Tara Strong as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, however I'm not a fan of Tony Hale as the Joker, I'd prefer the Joker if he was voice by Mark Hamill instead.

The music is pretty solid as I love how atmospheric the music is, I'd say the forgettable tracks are in the slow moments but thankfully not all of the slow moments are forgettable in terms of the music.

The animation is really great, I've never seen an animated movie like this where it's 3D but makes it look 2D, I've seen movies that have 3D backgrounds but the characters are drawn by hand, this time it's 3D but looks 2D, sometimes they change the style of some moments which is a plus for my standards. Action scenes are really action packed as I could really feel I was in the moments of each fight scene and chasing scenes and dodging attacks scenes.

I wasn't too sure if there was any jokes, than again something related to Batman isn't usually meant to be funny but more of an action packed story, but I felt like some moments were pushing for a laugh from me.

Overall Batman Ninja was a good movie, while there is some parts about this movie that could've been fixed, this was still a pretty enjoyable movie. I'd recommend this to anyone who is a fan of action animes, fans of Batman I'd say give it at least one viewing, animation fans it's a must watch for how great the animation is.

I give Batman Ninja a 7.5 out of 10 a pretty good movie but it could've had some fixing up in some places and maybe a little bit longer with most scenes, heck make it a 2 hour movie instead 1 and a half hour long.
