About this movie

Japan’s finest artists reimagine Batman and his adversaries in this ground-breaking anime feature. In an all-new story, The Dark Knight travels to a land ruled by sword-wielding samurai and ninja assassins. Beginning in Gotham City, Gorilla Grodd’s time displacement machine malfunctions sending a crazed cast of tyrannical villains back in time to terrorize medieval Japan. The most depraved is Lord Joker, who seeks total domination of the feudal states and the final elimination of the legendary Batman. Can The Caped Crusader gain the advantage--without his signature tech-- to keep Lord Joker and the others from rewriting history? Watch as an ancient legend comes to life in this stunningly realized, adrenaline-fueled addition to the Batman saga.

Ratings and reviews

IF YOU LOVE CG ANIME OF MECH, SUPER SENTAI, SAMURAI BATMAN?! with a twist of time travel in JAPAN?! now you got yourself a good dose of RANDOM fun. imagine a feudalism medieval samurai JOKER & his goons are NINJA’s & all a sudden we randomly go power rangers on em? see where im going with this? sounds crazy right? well bat friends, this movie does it right! now with that said, if you are too uptight and detailed with what’s canon, or you can’t handle wacky japanese humor with a bit of adam west vibe, you will only be disappointed! I get it, we all love us some dark knight, but this movie is highly based on “what if this happened”. readers I appreciate you reading this review up til this point BUT if I ever convinced you to watch it even if you’re hanging on the fence, JUST sit back, be “open minded” & enjoy this beautiful wacky ride!

Sooo much potential wasted. I had to shut it off when every major character suddenly had a house that turns into a Gundam robot fighter. In feudal Japan.

Samurai Batman. I mean. It's not the best Batman story ever told, but it's entertaining and you get what you see.
