DC and Warner Bros. Animation have released the first official image from Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios, the upcoming original animated movie for the Max streaming service which puts a Latin American spin on the Dark Knight.
Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios – translated into English as Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires – is directed by Juan Meza-León (Harley Quinn) and features Horacio Garcia Rojas (Narcos: Mexico) as the voice of Yohualli Coatl, a young Aztec boy who adopts the mantle of the Batman after the murder of his father. The full synopsis reads:
In the time of the Aztec Empire, Yohualli Coatl — a young Aztec boy — experiences tragedy when his father and village leader, Toltecatzin, is murdered by Spanish Conquistadors. Yohualli escapes to Tenochtitlan to warn King Moctezuma and his high priest, Yoka, of imminent 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.
