**TOTAL CRAP**
TLDR
The story itself has a lot of potentials. The outcome is in short total crap. Dialogues are childish and silly. I was wondering if I saw a Power Rangers movie. Seems to me a cultural obsession of Japanese people with Robots. Instead of a focus of deep characters, too many figures made it more confusing. There was slightly nothing about Japanese culture in the movie. Somehow it seems that the whole film was produced by 8 year olds. It has to just be a Ninja movie. If you go that road just add zombies, aliens and Godzilla to it. Total trash in short. Good animations don't make up for a silly and childish fantasy.

It's Batman Manga. It's Batman Japanese style and that really doesn't work.
Some of the character redesigns are good, the Joker and Two-face look great, but the rest are meh and only really work because of the setting, but are otherwise a little less than inspired. I mean, Nightwing they phoned in, his redesign looks like, well, Nightwing present era. Red Robin also has the bare minimum of effort to change from present era Gotham to ancient Japan.
But I guess... Voltron was the reason why it really flopped with me and when the monkeys hit it was just too out there, too manga, too anime, and not batman enough for me.
And the thing is, for a character, Batman would lend himself to Japanese comics a lot easier than a lot of other characters, so to watch it fail like this was painful.
