️ Video – 4.0 out of 5
While not a native 4K presentation, Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League receives a competent upscale with notable improvements in clarity and stability over HD. Dolby Vision enhances contrast and color vibrancy, especially in the stylized anime visuals that mix hand-drawn textures with digital flourishes. Explosive action sequences showcase deep blacks and saturated primaries well, but some scenes retain a flatter, less refined quality due to the upscaling. Fans of the original Batman Ninja’s aesthetic will find this a visually pleasing, if not reference-level, upgrade.
Audio – 3.5 out of 5
Despite the high-profile nature of the release, audio is delivered via standard Dolby Digital 5.1 at 448 kbps for both English and Japanese tracks — a noticeable downgrade from lossless formats typically offered on 4K. That said, the mix is clean, with solid directionality during action scenes, decent LFE during battles, and clear dialogue across both language options. Still, it lacks the immersive depth and punch of a DTS-HD or Atmos track.
Special Features – 0.0 out of 5
No on-disc extras are included. This release contains no bonus content aside from the Movies Anywhere digital code.
⭐ Overall – 3.5 out of 5
Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League builds on its predecessor’s wild anime reinterpretation of the Dark Knight with an inventive multiverse twist and bold visuals. While the Dolby Vision-enhanced 4K presentation improves over previous HD efforts, the lossy audio and lack of extras hold the release back. Still, for fans of DC’s anime experiments or collectors of unique Batman media, this is an above-average but barebones disc that’s worth picking up at a discount.
