A stage play adaptation of Batman Ninja will premiere in Tokyo, Japan this October. The main cast, staff, and teaser visual have all been revealed. There has been no word if users from other territories will be able to see this production in some way.
The teaser visual for Batman Ninja The Show, which you can see below, gives us a look at the Caped Crusader in his stage outfit. Set in feudal Japan, it’s only natural that Batman would be equipped with a katana (although, he doesn’t kill so this is potentially a little strange). It also reveals the stage play will be held at Theater Mixa in Higashiikebukuro, Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan between October 1 and December 5.
