During the 2024 New York Comic Con, Warner Bros shared an update on the worldwide digital and Blu-ray release of Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League. It will appear worldwide in 2025, with physical and digital copies available. There’s also a new trailer, which includes more classic DC Comics and Batman characters like Green Lantern and Ra’s al Ghul. 

The four especially notable characters showing up in this Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League trailer are Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Ra’s al Ghul, and Wonder Woman. The voice actors for each one also came up too. Akio Otsuka, who may be known best now as All for One in My Hero Academia, is Aquaman. Yu Yu Hakusho Hiei actor Nobuyuki Hiyama is The Flash. Ayane Sakura, who is also Yae Miko in Genshin Impact and Yotsuba Nakano in Quintessential Quintuplets, is Green Lantern. Kazuhiro Yamaji is going from Makoto Date in Yakuza and Cid Highwind in multiple FFVII games to Ra’s al Ghul. Finally, the voice actress behind Persona 4’s Naoto Shirogane, Romi Park, is Wonder Woman. 

Here’s the new Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League trailer featuring some of the additional DC Comics characters showing up in the anime.

The last time Warner Bros talked about the anime at an English event was at Anime Expo 2024. During it, we got to see a trailer for the show, but it didn’t include much voice acting. Joker and Harley Quinn were also confirmed for the new adaptation earlier in October 2024.

Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League is currently in development ahead of a digital and Blu-ray release in 2025, and the original Batman Ninja anime is available worldwide.

Warner Bros Japan shared a new key visual for Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn in their new designs for the anime. Additionally, the Japanese voice actors for both characters have been revealed.

Wataru Takagi will voice the Joker in the Japanese dub of Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League. Takagi is well known for his roles as Ganju Shiba in the Japanese dub of Bleach, Eikichi Onizuka in the Great Teacher Onizuka anime adaptation, Obito Uchiha in the Naruto anime series, and Okuyasu Nijimura in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Meanwhile, Rie Kugimiya will be in charge of lending her voice to Harley Quinn. Kugimiya is a prolific voice actress and she has worked on roles such as Taiga Aisaka in Toradora!, Alphonse Elric in both Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and the first anime adaptation, Kaguya in Gintama, and Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4 and various related projects.

The new designs for the Joker and Harley Quinn are inspired by “bosozoku” biker gangs and “sukeban” delinquent girls aesthetics respectively. You can check out the new key visuals for the Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League anime series featuring the Joker and Harley Quinn here:

Back in May 2024, Warner Bros Japan announced Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League, and at Anime Expo 2024 we got to see a first trailer. There’s also new key art that shows Batman alongside versions of Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.

First, here’s the Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League key art. Batman is at the bottom of the piece, with Flash on the left and Wonder Woman on the right behind him. At the back are Green Lantern on the left and Aquaman on the right. 

Here’s the official trailer for the new project. If you turn on closed captions, English subtitles are available. It starts with Green Lantern chasing down Batman and Robin. After that, Aquaman attacks. The Flash shows up to fight after that. A glimpse of Wonder Woman follows, rounding out the “Yakuza League” that is in place instead of the Justice League.

Batman Ninja is one of two new DC Comics anime projects. The other is Suicide Squad Isekai. It is streaming on Hulu and Max. Vtuber Calliope Mori sings its theme song. Here’s the trailer for how that looks, to compare.
