What happens

Batman Ninja (Japanese: ニンジャバットマン, Hepburn: Ninjabattoman) is a 2018 American-Japanese animated superhero film based off of the DC Comics character Batman. The film was directed by Junpei Mizusaki, produced by Warner Bros., and animated by Kamikaze Douga and YamatoWorks, and it features Batman and several of his allies and enemies who end up time-traveling to feudal Japan. Takashi Okazaki, the creator of Afro Samurai, is the character designer for the film. The film was released in the United States in digital format on April 24, 2018: it was released in physical formats on May 8 and was released theatrically in Japan on June 15. In its American release, writers Leo Chu and Eric Garcia have admitted to rewriting the film from the original Japanese script written by Kazuki Nakashima, ultimately making two very different versions of the same film. This is one of the posthumous releases for longtime DC producer Benjamin Melniker, who died two months before its release. A sequel, Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, released on March 18, 2025.
