The Dark Knight battles an alternate version of the Justice League in the first trailer for surprise anime sequel Batman Ninja.

In the clip, Batman (Koichi Yamadera) and Robin look to touch down “in a world unlike any other”, which seemingly reinvents the likes of Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and more as a group of Japanese gangsters, otherwise known as… the Yakuza League. Given the “vs” in the title, we can assume the Caped Crusader and his sidekick will be tasked with taking them down in the movie. Watch the teaser below…

“I never expected a sequel but I’m all for it,“a fan saidof the new outing on Twitter. “I actually liked Batman Ninja, and the first movie was just flawed. Seeing a second one a couple years later is exciting!”

“I can’t wait, I’ve been dying for this,“wrote another, asa third tweeted: “The aesthetics of Japanese animation is the savior of DC and Warner.”
