Batman Ninja is a bold step for DC Animation as for the first time they have put arguably their strongest property into the hands of 3 of the best Anime creators in the world (so not that big a risk but still).

So sit back as Jon, Alex and Paul let you know their thoughts.

So sit back and listen to what we hope is an enjoyable waltz through the nostalgia of one of TV's true behemoths.

​One word of caution Spoilers from the start.
