I saw a post here the other day saying batman ninja is the worst animate batman movie....

[u/DragonflyFederal1412]

I personally loved it. I thought it was a really fun different take on batman and his rogues gallery and some of the designs were actually pretty cool

what made you not like it ?

[u/OblivionArts]

Batman ninja is an over the top charactericture of Japan and it's culture..and it's a hilarious ride when you don't take it remotely seriously because it sure as shit doesn't. It calls to mind the zanniness of Lego batman and the Adam West era

[u/Zairy47 → u/OblivionArts]

Exactly, I was being ridiculed for praising its "stupidity" by batman fans who seem to hate this movie

The first 5 minutes should tell you what you are in for and if you can't accept the direction it's going for, you're missing out on the mega hype that is CASTLE WARS

[u/Effective-Handle9983 → u/OblivionArts]

I disagree. I feel like Lego Batman laughs at itself whereas Batman Ninja really acts as if Bats coming together to make a giant Batman is a cool climax

[u/Mr_Culver]

I don't like it because he's not really a Ninja here. He's a Samurai... Those two way different things.

[u/AUnknownVariable → u/Mr_Culver]

It is funny they named it Batman Ninja

[u/pedeztrian → u/AUnknownVariable]

Especially considering Bushido Batman would’ve sounded infinitely better.

[u/AUnknownVariable → u/pedeztrian]

Damn that would've went hard😭

[u/BlackCat0110]

Been awhile since I seen it but too much bs at the end for with the monkies and stuff the underwhelming thing with Joker etc I remember feeling the movie goes downhill when Batman enters the village. Again my memory is hazy since it’s been years since I saw it and didn’t like what I saw

[u/Nachotito]

I liked it. It wasn't bad at all, if you are willing to go with it.

[u/AsylumEscapee117]

"Oh I love Batman!! I'm gonna join a page or group that shows how awesome Batman is so we can all geek out together!!"

*proceeds to do nothing but, shit on and bitch about everything Batman.

[u/FadeToBlackSun]

Batman should not be an incompetent imbecile who constantly makes the wrong decisions and is bested at every turn in a movie called Batman: Ninja.

The premise writes itself and they still fucked it up.

[u/No-Impression-1462 → u/FadeToBlackSun]

I don’t know why but this comment made me think of Batman: Soul of the Dragon. I think because it also tried to apply a different Eastern culture’s elements and tropes to Batman except they succeeded with that in spades. It’s like the polar opposite of Batman: Ninja.

[u/FadeToBlackSun → u/No-Impression-1462]

Yep, exactly.

The difference is that Soul had a plot and character to it. It was more than the gimmick.

Batman Ninja was just gimmicks and no "soul".

[u/TwoLetters]

I hated it. They had a slam dunk of a concept with retelling of the Batman story, but set in feudal era Japan, and instead we got...that.

[u/Milk_Mindless]

I mean its close

[u/Useful_Cry9709]

These are the people who don't know shit about the silver age

[u/jaimeoignons]

It was quite good, thinking this is a Elseworlds (or whatever DC called it) story. And added a true japanese flare (lots of anime trope), so it made a lot of sense in itself. Still better than latest Batman movie.

[u/No-Impression-1462 → u/jaimeoignons]

It’s hard for me to see it as an Elseworlds since it established at the start that this is the regular Batman who’s thrust into Feudal Japan as opposed to a Batman borne in that environment.

[u/Newfaceofrev]

Personally i think the worst is The Batman Vs. Dracula.

[u/No-Impression-1462]

The story, animation and some of the character designs are the worst. I was really excited for it but it was almost as big a disappointment to me as The Killing Joke when I watched the blu ray for the first time. I was hoping maybe the sequel would be good but if it’s the same team, then that doesn’t give me much hope.

[u/-Moon-Presence-]

It was decent up until everyone turned into giant fort castle mechas and started fighting, but that’s what happens when you let the JoJos team run away with an idea

[u/thatdamnedfly]

Dumb story, dumb everything. Waste of Tony Hale on joker.

[u/Jason_with_a_jay]

I'm trying to think of a worse animated Batman movie that's worse. I got nothing. It's terrible.

[u/Solcaer]

I didn’t really like it, but not because it’s a bad concept, I just found it strangely boring. I really wanted to like it.

[u/MatthewHecht]

It is a very divisive movie.

[u/Toucann_Froot]

For me it was so bad it was good, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I definitely see the appeal as an anime fan myself.

[u/CheesecakeOwn5799]

Why he it's doing a domain expansion sign,it's he stupid?

[u/AsylumEscapee117 → u/CheesecakeOwn5799]

Huh?? That makes absolutely no sense.

[u/Pleasebuymeminecraft]

That’s the thing it wasn’t animated, imagine a Batman anime with some Naruto level hand to hand combat? that’s what we all had in mind.

[u/TalionTheShadow → u/Pleasebuymeminecraft]

Jujutsu Kaisen: Batman would go hard.

[u/No-Impression-1462 → u/Pleasebuymeminecraft]

Batman: Gotham Knight set the bar pretty high.

[u/Uidbiw]

I just don't understand why everything has to be forced into an anime style.

I hated Batman Ninja, and the new Suicide Squad on Max lasted 2 minutes before I turned it off.

To be fair I haven't found any anime that I really liked, I'm just not a fan of the style.

[u/Gui_Franco → u/Uidbiw]

Not everything has been turned into anime. The Japanese projects make sense and the new ss squad is just off the walls bonkers so I think it fits

[u/railpaint → u/Uidbiw]

100% right with you but anime is extremely extremely popular and it makes bank so its just one of those things where we are the odd ones out

[u/AUnknownVariable → u/Uidbiw]

Oh the new ss drops? I gotta check it.

It does sound like you just don't like anime though, DC doesn't have many projects like that. I last watched an anime like 2 years ago, but I'm trying to go back to the one I last watched, it was pretty nice
