The character designer for Batman: Ninja was Takashi Okazaki. His main body of work has been related to Afro Samurai but he has worked on other projects as well.

According to Wikipedia:

9-panel Blade: Trinity comic (2004)
Cho-Kōryu-Gōjin Danke Choen (超交流合神ダンケシェーン) (2005)
Afro Samurai Maniaxxx!!! (2007)

Summer Wars animated movie (character design, 2009)
Izanagi Online mobile video game (character design, 2015)
Furi video game (artistic director, 2016)
Batman Ninja animated movie (character designer, 2018)
Sound and Fury Netflix film (artistic director, 2019)

There is one artist who's the dominant and 89 are tracing him. I'd know the artist if I saw him anywhere. Not that inkers aren't awesome. But like Frank Miller - it's a unique mark. Think 'dielinfinite' called him out as Takashi Okazaki.

That is not at all how the process works, especially since the movie is mostly CGI

There are another 25ish CGI/visual effects folks and nine in the 'art department' (including four storyboarders).

Maybe I don't know but I bet someone's sketchbook originated that extremely unique look. Are you saying it's more art by the community? I can't imagine as these images look as singular as a signature. Like 'fire and ice.'

And I'm sure they are all extremely talented artists but art is not socialism - it's more monarchy. And animation as for the magnitude of images needs lots of assistants and CGI created looks like the artist, right? Typically the rockstar artist is not also the rockstar storyteller/writer. And the AI/CGI is not expressing itself - not yet. But I may be incorrect on some or all of it so... Fook! Imagine it at 24 images a second - the work with each being so similar. You'd want an army. But still not sure Takashi was James Brown.

Duh... sorry but really I'm good. Art director makes sure there is continuity - lol. Really goes without saying... But appreciate the film and his worklist. But let's stop this back and forth. Cheers
