Set in the midst of the swinging 1970s, this Elseworlds adventure finds Bruce Wayne under the training of a master sensei. It is here that Bruce, along with other elite students, are forged in the fire of the martial arts discipline. These lifelong bonds will be put to the test when a deadly menace arises from their past. It will take the combined efforts of Batman and world-renowned martial artists Richard Dragon, Ben Turner and Lady Shiva, to battle the monsters of this world and beyond!
"If you're looking for a DC animation with Batman as the protagonist, you can stop worrying. Despite the title, 'Batman: Soul of the Dragon' focuses its attention on Richard Dragon and other characters that are usually more secondary - even Bruce Wayne's personality has more presence than his masked "other self". However, despite this breaking of expectations due to the title, the DC animation is competent in registering a different universe of the character and, above all, expanding the possibilities of story. The good martial arts scenes and the 1970s atmosphere end up stealing the scene, mostly because of the basic story and the weakened villain. But, overall, you can have fun and travel through these new possibilities of the Batman universe in animations."
