Batman Ninja

Rotten Tomatoes does not yet have an official rating for this film (Tomatometer is unavailable though audience rates it at 62%). Fortunately for you, I do. The art is fantastic. The animation is great. Some of the fight scenes are cool. But that's about all this has going for it.

Batman, some of his cohorts, and several bad guys time travel to feudal Japan thanks to some gizmo Gorilla Grodd made. Now you know why the movie is called Batman Ninja (or do I really have to tell you Batman becomes a "ninja"?). I'm not going to mention the ludicrous technology they use despite it being feudal Japan. I'm not going to mention the giant sock puppet a large group of monkeys combine together to form to fight the giant robot made of houses Joker created. Nor am I going to tell you about the large group of bats which surround the combined large group of monkeys in the form of a sock puppet to make a giant Batman to fight Joker's house/robot. I'm definitely not going to tell you about the large, precise rockets Joker's house/robot fires. If I told you about any of those things, you may decide not to watch the movie.

Imagine having the opportunity to see your favorite piece of art or musician in person. The catch is you'd have to do it barefoot standing on hot coals and broken glass. Visually, this movie is great. It's the story which makes it near-torture.
