‘Aztec Batman’ will bring a bold new reimagining of the caped crusader’s mythos this September.
During San Diego Comic-Con, HBO Max finally showcased its upcoming DC Studios animated Batman movie, Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires.
The film, also known as Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios, offers a new take on the Caped Crusader’s storied mythos. According to HBO Max Latin America‘s press release, its story will center on “a young Aztec boy named Yohualli Coatl, whose father, village leader Toltecatzin, is murdered by Spanish Conquistadors. Coatl flees to Tenochtitlan to warn King Moctezuma and his high priest, Yoka, of looming danger. Using the temple of Tzinacan, the bat god, as a lair, Yohualli trains with his mentor and assistant, Acatzin, developing equipment and weaponry to confront the Spaniard invasion, protect Moctezuma’s temple, and avenge his father’s death.”
Aztec Batman was first announced in 2022 in celebration of the DC hero’s 83rd anniversary. The animated series is being created in collaboration with Warner Bros.
