Review of Batman Ninja (2018) by Wayne K — 04 May 2018
A very different entry into the Batman series, keeping the usual heroes and villains but putting them in not only a different pace but also a different time. I love the artwork, with the beautiful colours and intricate detail painting a vivid picture of feudal Japan, and I like how our hero has to adapt to his new surrounding and devise fresh ways to defeat his foes with what he now has at his disposal.
There's several places where the film is practically unfathomable, but it never fails to be both fun and engaging, giving our titular hero new battles to fight with familiar enemies, and challenges both physical and mental to overcome.
It lacks the true power and impact of the Dark Knight trilogy, and those not acquainted with anime may find the visual style jarring and unnatural, but I would say that any Batman fan could appreciate the changes made, while still taking comfort in the things that remain the same, and those who just love film will know what to expect, and appreciate what they get.
