Batman Ninja Vs. Yakuza League
$23 | Releases April 15
While the first Batman Ninja saw the titular hero and his sidekicks take on the Joker, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, and several other supervillains, the sequel pits the Caped Crusader against Superman and the rest of the Justice League, who are now all members of the Yakuza. To make matters even more complicated, Japan has disappeared from the world map, and a huge island called "Hinomoto" has appeared in the sky over Gotham, giving Batman plenty of work to do if he wants to restore his timeline.
In case you missed it the first Batman Ninja film, you can pick up the steelbook edition for just $16.58 (was $25). The 3D-anime film was a unique take on the DC hero, taking him out of the modern and futuristic settings where most Batman stories take place in and reimagining him as a shinobi vigilante in feudal Japan. The movie was animated by Kamikaze Douga and YamatoWorks, with character designs by Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki.
Plenty of other animated Batman films and TV series are available on Blu-ray, many of which are on sale. Some noteworthy options include Batman: The Complete Animated Series for $26 (was $80), and its incredible Mask of the Phantasm movie for $17 (was $34). You can also grab its sci-fi sequel series Batman Beyond: The Complete Series for $35 (was $55), and the the underrated 2004 animated Batman series for $36 (was $70).
