44* ''Anime/BatmanNinja'' sees this in both Japanese and English. The Japanese version gives a very interesting version: Creator/KoichiYamadera reprise his role as Batman from not only from the dubs of the [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie LEGO]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie movies]], but also from the Japanese dub of the very first ''Film/{{Batman|1989}}'' film shown in TV Asahi in the 90s.
