by

2027 looks set to be an exciting year for DC enthusiasts, following the latest updates from James Gunn. In fact, just a few days ago, he unveiled some intriguing details. Not only will there be a new Superman film titled “Man of Tomorrow”, but it’s already been scheduled for release on July 9th, 2027. As for Gotham City, we were already aware that “The Batman Part II” was due later in the year on October 1st, 2027. This means DC fans will have a chance to enjoy both Superman and Batman films in the same year. Although 2027 seems far off, it’s worth noting that this coming Friday promises to be equally thrilling for Batman admirers as well.

You may not have noticed, but a new Batman movie titled “Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires” is set to premiere in theaters this Friday. It’s making its debut in Mexican cinemas on Thursday and will be available on HBO Max in the United States next week starting September 19th. The Blu-ray and DVD releases are scheduled for September 23rd.

What Is Aztec Batman (And Why Should You Care)

In case you’re not familiar with it yet, allow me to introduce you to an extraordinary take on Batman that’s unlike any other versions of the Dark Knight you’ve encountered: Aztec Batman. The upcoming animated film, Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires, offers a fascinating twist on the classic superhero, imagining him in 16th-century Mesoamerica instead of Gotham City. In this alternate universe, our caped crusader goes by the name Yohualli Coatl, and while he bears some resemblances to Bruce Wayne from the main timeline, he’s a young man born in this distinct setting.

In this rephrased version, let’s portray the narrative as follows:

The Aztec leader’s son, named Yohualli, is destined to assume his father’s position. Regrettably, his father meets an untimely end at the hands of the Spanish invaders, led by Hernán Cortés, who demand submission but receive resistance from the brave Yohualli. In response, he embarks on a mission that combines both vengeance for his father and the removal of these foreign invaders from his ancestral land. If you’re searching for an epic tale, then this narrative would undoubtedly meet your expectations.

To acquire the necessary skills and bravery, Yohualli turns to his mentor for guidance. Through this training, he not only learns to physically compete with his foes but also discovers ways to instill fear in them. By adopting the Bat God, a new version of Batman emerges, yet retaining the same fearlessness and tenacity as the Batman we know from our world.

In “Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires,” it’s not only Batman making an appearance, but also a host of familiar faces both friend and foe, all with a fresh twist. Characters such as Catwoman, who goes by the Jaguar Woman here, is a corrupted high priestess working alongside Cortés, alongside the Joker, a twisted high priest. Forest Ivy, known for her enigma and power, remains just as mysterious in this narrative. Two-Face will make an appearance too, but interestingly, it’s Cortés who takes on that role following film events that leave him scarred beyond recognition. The official synopsis for “Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires” is provided below.

In a fresh take on the Batman mythos, this story is set amidst the vibrant and fierce culture of 16th-century Mesoamerica during the Aztec empire. When Yohualli Coatl, a young Aztec boy, loses his father to Spanish conquistadors, he embarks on a perilous journey from his homeland to Tenochtitlán to alert King Moctezuma and high priest, Yoka, of the impending threat. As he trains in the temple of the bat deity Tzinacan under the guidance of his mentor, Yohualli learns to craft tools and weapons to combat the Spanish invasion and seek vengeance for his father’s murder. Along his journey, he crosses paths with significant characters like the formidable Jaguar Woman and the alluring Forest Ivy.
