12 Awesome Summer 2018 Movies You Probably Missed

6. Batman Ninja

Like almost all DC animated movies, Batman Ninja has plenty of flaws, but it's also an utterly unique outing starring the Caped Crusader, and one that makes the most of its positively nutty premise.

The Dark Knight finds himself temporarily displaced to feudal Japan, where he, his comrades and his adversaries do battle with samurai swords and gigantic, Transformers-like machines. Yup.

Beautifully animated in a style distinct from pretty much every other animated DC movie, Batman Ninja continually one-ups itself with more bats*** crazy and visually imaginative concepts. Though the script is rather lacking in places, as an exercise in pure style, it's the best animated Batman film in ages.
