The second trailer for Batman Ninja arrived Tuesday and the anime movie looks even better than we could have imagined.

This trailer — the first one in English — gives a better glimpse at what Batman Ninja is about: Batman as a samurai working with a handful of familiar allies including Robin, Catwoman, and Nightwing to stop the Joker. Except everyone has been sent back in time to feudal Japan thanks to Gorilla Grod's time displacement machine.

Batman Ninja comes out digitally on April 24 with a physical release on May 8.
