Boo! Joker should have "Damaged" tattooed in Japanese script. How else are we supposed to know that he's unstable lol

Seriously though, I know it's very unlikely, but I hope the stage play gets some kind of video release a la Hamilton.

I might have seen one piece of the animated Batman-Ninja but the play actor looks like a Junior Higher attempting cosplay with a good store-bought kid's costume. Not sure what Robin is about but looks absolutely hilarious and I for one won't be able to take that hairdoo and silly smile seriously. Same for "Red Hood", cheap cosplay with a laundry hamper over the head? And Joker...WTF?

The costumes are decent adaptions of the anime designs.

It's certainly possible that it could get a livestream! It's become a lot more common for stage play productions to do a stream or two since the pandemic started. Usually opening and closing shows are streamed (Sometimes more. TouMyu livestreamed all their shows for their 5th anniversary show back in January and I believe they planned on doing something similar for their fall 2020 show until most of it got cancelled due to a covid case). Though because there are multiple people cast for the same role, I wouldn't be surprised if they streamed a performance for each group.

It's mainly a matter of whether or not you'll need a VPN or if it'll be completely region-locked because the production used e+ and pia which require a JP phone number to verify your account. Sometimes international streams happen, but it's very rare. Keep an eye out on their twitter/website, they may do a stream! It's not guaranteed, but I wouldn't be surprised if they announce something closer to opening night. If anything, there'll probably be a dvd release. Plus, it could end up being streamed on sites like DMM or niconico in the future. That's how I've been able to watch a bunch of past shows without having to pay the high price of the dvds. It's a lot cheaper. I hope this helps! The cast looks really cool! <3
