Specifically, it’s the Batman Ninja (or Ninja Batman, as the title is ordered in Japan) direct-to-video animated movie, seen in the video above, that’s being adapted for the stage.
The latest title to get the stage play treatment, though, is part of a franchise that began outside Japan: Batman.
But Batman Ninja the Show is currently scheduled to run from October 10 to December 31, during which time it’ll be performed 172 times.
A recent trend in the anime world is producing live-action stage shows for popular series.
