Ricky Church chats with Batman: Soul of the Dragon director Sam Liu…
The first of Warner Bros. Animation’s DC films of 2021 will be released in just a couple weeks with
Batman: Soul of the Dragon. Taking place in the 1970s, the film takes a look at Batman’s days training in the martial arts with his fellow students and how they must come together again to defeat a powerful threat to the world. Starring alongside Batman (David Giuntoli) are Richard Dragon (Mark Dacascos), Lady Shiva (Kelly Hu) and Bronze Tiger (Michael Jai White), some of the most skilled and deadly fighters in the DC Universe.
Batman: Soul of the Dragon with all the craziness in the world right now?
You know, it is so great to have something to do. I m not doing anything on camera at the moment. I m too chicken to be out there on a set. I ve got asthma, so I ve got to be a little more careful than most, but this is such a great way to stay busy, and feel like I m still working and in the loop and still getting things done. I know a lot of actors who don t do voiceover work are really hurting right now. I m so fortunate to be able to do this.Â
Batman s had a lot of adventures through the DC Universe Animated Movies, and one of the joys of that line of films has been watching him journey not just through some of his classic comic book tales, but well beyond where the main comics continuity has ever taken him. We ve seen everything from adaptations of
The Dark Knight Returns and
The Killing Joke to a film based on the
Gotham by Gaslight Elseworlds story. Now, as 2021 dawns, Batman s taking on another Elseworlds adventure, and we ve got an exclusive clip.
Batman: Soul of the Dragon will transport the Dark Knight and his friends back to the 1970s for what looks to be an

Batman: Soul of the Dragon sounds like an interesting departure from the usual slate of DC animated movies. The story is set during the 1970s and follows a young Bruce Wayne on the path of martial arts mastery. We’ll see him training with and battling other elite martial artists, including Richard Dragon, Ben Turner and Lady Shiva, all of whom are under the tutelage of O-Sensei.
We don’t know too much about the plot just yet, but the synopsis has teased that the students will have to face off against “a deadly menace from the past.” Who this is remains a mystery, but given the location the film is set in, the kung fu movie tone and the 1970s time period, I think the chances are good that the menace will be a bare-chested Ra’s al Ghul.
