Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios Animated Film Ordered For HBO Max
HBO Max Latin America has ordered an original animated film titled Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios. The film title translates to Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires and marks the first time that Warner Bros. Animation, Particular Crowd, and Anima collaborate together on a project.
The film will be a Spanish-language film that takes place in Aztec Mexico and will dive into the Mesoamerica culture. In the alternate version of the caped crusader and his lair which is placed in the temple of Tzinacan which is the temple of the bat god, the film looks to blend the enigmatic culture with the rich universe of DC‘s Batman.
Check out the synopsis below:
“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.”
Horacio Garcia Rojas leads the cast by lending his voice to the main protagonist Yohualli Coatl. Juan Meza-León will helm the film. José C. García de Letona, Aaron D. Berger, Carina Schulze, and Fernando De Fuentes all will serve as producers of the film. A specialist in Mesoamerican studies and the ethnic history of Mexico and the Andean region, Alejandros Diaz Barriga will consult on the film.
