New Batman Movie Post-Credits Scene Sets Up A Wild New Take on The Best Live-Action Villain in Years

by

Be warned: this article reveals details from the movie *Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires*. The film is a fresh take on the Batman story, completely changing his appearance, origins, and motivations. Composer Ego Plum recently spoke with ScreenRant about the movie’s end-credits scene, which featured a popular villain: the Penguin.

Someone asked me about that little scene after the credits, and especially the music and why we included the Penguin. It’s a good question! I wanted to hint at a certain… spirituality with that character. I started thinking of him almost like a priest, and the organ music just felt right. It’s a bit historically inaccurate, since organs came later, but the sound has a religious quality that I thought fit. As for whether we’ll be making more *Aztec Batman* movies… well, let’s just say things are up in the air. We’re all hoping for a sequel, and honestly, I’d love to see this become a whole series! The director has so many great ideas and other characters we could explore. But right now, we’re just thankful we got this one made.

Aztec Batman Rewrites The Dark Knight Entirely

Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires boldly retells the Batman story, reimagining nearly everything about the Dark Knight’s background while staying true to his core character (and even includes a nod to Danny Elfman’s iconic 1989 Batman theme). This version is set during the height of the Aztec Empire. Yohualli Coatl, a young Aztec boy, suffers a terrible loss when his father, the village leader, is killed by invading Conquistadors. Already orphaned, Yohualli escapes to Tenochtitlan to warn King Moctezuma and his high priest, Yoka (who is the Joker in this version), about the impending danger. He finds refuge in a cave belonging to Camazotz, the Death Bat, and begins training to protect his people and avenge his father. This unique take on the story continues with fresh and exciting versions of classic villains, particularly the Joker and Two-Face.

DC Comics has a history of successfully reimagining its villains, and the recent portrayal of the Penguin is a prime example. Colin Farrell’s performance in *The Batman* and the *Penguin* series is widely considered one of the best in recent memory. This new version of the Penguin is bold and flamboyant, undeniably violent, and makes a strong impression-but he’s also incredibly smart and strategic, often underestimated due to his outwardly showy behavior. Farrell’s use of prosthetics and a distinct accent complete the package, making this Penguin one of the most compelling villains we’ve seen in a long time.
