Warner
Bros. Home Entertainment proudly presents back-to-back nights of
Batman Ninja
events in New York City with a May 1 screening and panel discussion
at The Directors Guild of America, and a May 2 appearance/signing by
filmmakers and key voice cast at Kinokuniya Bookstore.
The visually
stunning Batman Ninja
received outstanding reviews for its World Premiere at WonderCon in
late March. The film was officially announced at New York Comic Con
in October 2017, thus this two-night New York event – a week prior
to the film’s May 8 release on Blu-ray & DVD – completes the
circle.
Batman Ninja’s
trio of acclaimed anime filmmakers – director
Jumpei Mizusaki (Opening animation of JoJo’s
Bizarre Adventure), writer Kazuki
Nakashima (Gurren Lagann)
and character designer Takashi Okazaki (Afro
Samurai) – will appear at both
events alongside the film’s core quartet of celebrated actors:
Roger Craig Smith (Batman: Arkham Origins) as Batman,
Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development) as the Joker, Grey
Griffin (Scooby-Doo franchise) as Catwoman, and Tara Strong
(Batman: The Killing Joke) as Harley Quinn.
On Tuesday, May 1, Batman Ninja
will have its NYC premiere at The Directors
Guild of America (110 West 57th
Street in New York City). Starting at 7:00pm, the event will include
a screening of the full film, and a post-screening panel discussion
amongst the filmmakers and actors. A
limited number of free tickets are available to the general public
(see details below).
On
Wednesday, May 2, the filmmakers and actors will make an appearance
at Kinokuniya Bookstore (1073 Avenue of the Americas), the preeminent
location for anime films, books and merchandise in New York City.
There will be a Q&A and a signing of exclusive Batman
Ninja
posters. This event, starting at 5:30pm, is also free to the public.

About Batman
Ninja…
Batman
Ninja
takes a journey across the ages as Gorilla Grodd’s time
displacement machine transports many of Batman’s worst enemies to
feudal Japan – along with the Dark Knight and a few of his allies.
The villains take over the forms of the feudal lords that rule the
divided land, with the Joker taking the lead among the warring
factions. As his traditional high-tech weaponry is exhausted almost
immediately, Batman must rely on his intellect and his allies –
including Catwoman and the extended Bat-family – to restore order
to the land, and return to present-day Gotham City.
Produced by
Warner Bros. Japan and DC Entertainment, Batman Ninja
will be distributed May 8, 2018 by
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on
Blu-ray™ Steelbook, Blu-ray™
Combo Pack and DVD. The film will be available to own on Digital HD
starting April 24, 2018.
