A new clip has emerged showing Joker going head-to-head with the Batman in Warner Bros.’ direct-to-video animated movie Batman Ninja, which will be released tomorrow.
The movie will see the Dark Knight displaced in time, transported to feudal Japan, where he’ll face the Clown Prince of Crime. However, he’ll have allies such as Catwoman, Nightwing and Alfred Pennyworth to help fight the good fight.

In the ComicBook exclusive clip, we see Joker, now known as Lord Joker, atop a building taunting the Caped Crusader. He teases him about how he gained control of the Japanese underworld to become a feudal Lord, how he’s thankful that Grodd sent them back in time and, of course, how he just loves getting sushi in Japan.
The clip ends with Joker shooting some acid from his pocket-flower at Batman before rushing to engage him in physical combat, for which Batman may well end up needing something more than katanas — especially if he’s to contend with Lord Joker’s big robot that he plans to rewrite history with.
