Digital TODAY: "Batman: Soul of the Dragon"

Finally. Retro cool Nerd has been waiting for this one for quite some time now. The second offering in the newly established DC animated universe tickles all my nostalgia nubs.

Batman: Soul Of The Dragon does a deep dive into Elseworlds vibes by putting Batman in the midst of the swinging 1970s. Faced with a deadly menace from his past, and along with his mentor O-Sensei, Bruce Wayne must enlist the help of three former classmates – world-renowned martial artists Richard Dragon, Ben Turner and Lady Shiva – to battle the monsters of this world and beyond. The film is rated R for some violence.

Our friends at Warner Brothers have sent over an all-new clip that features Lady Shiva (voiced by Kelly Hu) and Richard Dragon (voiced by Mark Dacascos) battling an army of ninjas.
