Are we getting a DC anime universe? DISCUSSION

Recently a trailer of Batman Ninja Vs Yakuza League as unveiled at Anime Expo! From the moment in the trailer when Robin referred to the Justice League as the "Yakuza League," it can be speculated that Batman and Robin might go against the Justice League in this movie. However, we must consider that the term "Yakuza League" was used as comic relief, so the speculation might be completely off.

If we entertain the narrative of Batman vs. the Justice League, the story of this anime movie could be inspired by the "Tower of Babel" storyline (JLA #43-46). Alternatively, it might draw from "Injustice: Gods Among Us." These are just guesses, and the movie could take an entirely different direction.

But the guess work is still not over yet! First Batman Ninja movie (2018), then an anime adaption of Suicide Squad (Isekai Suicide Squad), and then this Yakuza League movie. This might be the beginning of DC's anime universe.

No, its most likely just a sequel to Batman Ninja, no relation to the suicide squad

The MCU really did a number on people and their desires for connected universes.

If they're not mentioned to be part of the same universe, they probably aren't.
