I cannot believe this pro-Ninja trend on ILC. Boo to ninjas.

Ninja-Kitty was funny. Whose idea was it to have a 6-issue series about the fluid catlike grace of martial artists illustrated by the stiffest figure penciller ever to work for Marvel?

Ninjas were banished from the DCU in the Crisis. Zero Hour brought them back.

Maybe the Identity Crisis killer was Jimmy Olson as The Turtle in NINJA MODE!

B-b-but the ninjas in Elektra Lives Again are Satanists!

Actually, I remember the Yakuza making a good showing in the DCU in the late 80s, early 90s.
I suppose Lady Shiva is a sort of ninja, and Shado is an archer-ninja.

Ninjas-not-ninjas played a sizable role (Lady Shiva, Cheshire) in a recent (pretty damn good) Birds of Prey story.

But, yeah, the cowls & the sashes & the no-talking & the "OMG they turn to nothing!" deaths = GO HOME.

Maybe the world needs more down-to-earth, approachable ninjas who have a sense of humor yet are not anthropomorphic turtles.

Ha.

Ninjas with moustaches would also suffice.

My turn to say: I LOVE COMICS.

The ninjas in GI Joe were classic for actually being integral to the mythos.
