the batman ninja is THE most horrible batman story ever told! the animated style used was beautiful in some part of the film, everything youd expect from an anime film. however that does not take away the fact that they used this character and dragged him under the mud. the while film is told in such a way that it make you want to kill yourself. this film is nothing but a piece of poo in some fat kid's underwear!

So was this a bunch of cut scenes spliced together from a video game? Because it really seemed like it. It was incredibly hard to follow and the animation and art style definitely had that game cut scene vibe. I was severely underwhelmed by the incoherent story and overwhelmed by the terrifying visuals. It gets one star because it's just terrible in every way. However, if you have a few friends over who know enough about the Batman universe to get who each version of Robin is I highly suggest renting it and watching the English version. My husband and I hated the "film" but made it bearable with snide remarks every few minutes. A confusing time was had by all.

I rented the English dubbed versiion and I made it about 30 minutes. This movie is terrible. The animation is fantastic but everything else is just awful. The voice acting, plot, dialog, etc is just plain awful. Normally I have a high pain tolerance for bad movies but this one just pushed me beyond that limit. I've heard the Japanese version is better but I can't watch that version with a rental so this gets 1 star. It is definitely not worth your time watching.
