Warner Bros. and DC have announced the feature-length movie will arrive on Digital on April 24, and will be available in the US on Blu-ray Steelbook ($29.98 USD), Blu-ray Combo Pack ($24.98 USD), and DVD ($19.98 USD) on May 8 with a physical release in the UK coming May 14.The story follows Batman getting transported to feudal Japan, along with his worst enemies, due to Gorilla Grodd’s time displacement machine. The villains are feudal lords ruling over the divided lands, with the Joker leading the warring factions. Without access to his weapons and gadgets, it's up to Batman to rely on his intellect and allies to save the land and return to present-day Gotham City. Batman Ninja is directed by Jumpei Mizusaki from a script by Kazuki Nakashima. Leo Chu and Eric Garcia wrote the screenplay for English-language distribution.The voice cast features Roger Craig Smith (Batman), Tony Hale (Joker), Grey Griffin (Catwoman), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy), Fred Tatasciore (Gorilla Grodd, Deathstroke, ), Yuri Lowenthal (Robin), Adam Croasdell (Nightwing and Alfred), Will Friedle (Red Robin, Red Hood), Tom Kenny (Penguin), Eric Bauza (Two-Face).Some of the special features include featurettes on Western tropes and archetypes, a look into the film's Japanese character models and designs, and the Batman Ninja New York Comic Con 2017 panel.For IGN's thoughts on another Batman animated film, read our review of Batman and Harley Quinn , which we think is a "gorgeously rendered tribute to Batman: The Animated Series."
