It's steep, but for 30 blu-ray movies and 5 shorts plus the extras and the special packaging. It's not bad.

Wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of retailers discount it a month or two after it releases. Most people interested will already have a lot of the movies in the collection.

Batman Ninja will feature many heroes and villians traveling through time to do battle, stretching from modern day to the middle ages in Japan. The creators have all discussed how they wanted to have a balance of eastern and western sensibilities and that by having Batman serve as the western, the eastern would flow naturally into his surroundings. They strived to keep the personalities of each characters the same and not simply make them Japanese versions.

Design wise, they didn’t want to go overboard so it would appeal to all audiences. When animating the fight scenes, live action actors were used to show a more real and fluid motion. Mizusaki talked about filming it first to get it how he envisioned it and then having the animators match the live action shots.

The panel then turned to the Chu and Garcia. “It was very difficult” Chu said, before explaining how the crew in Japan would shoot the movie and then go back and make it more cohesive for the US audiences and show that this is really Batman through Japanese eyes. The style of the film has a meshed tech and a Feudal Japan feel to it. They are currently keeping the voice cast a secret and hope to unveil it soon. They showed some amazing footage of the film which had a lot of action, with Batman and Joker with katanas fighting on a rooftop.
