Due to overwhelming demand, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has opened up new seating for the New York City premiere of Batman Ninja on Tuesday, May 1 at The Directors Guild of America (110 West 57th Street in New York City). The 7:00 pm event will include the screening and a post-screening panel discussion amongst filmmakers and actors. Tickets are free to the public, and RSVP instructions are below.
On Wednesday, May 2, the filmmakers and actors will also make an appearance at Kinokuniya Bookstore (1073 Avenue of the Americas), the preeminent location for anime films, books and merchandise in New York City.
