What is Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires about?
Young Yohualli Coatl witnesses the brutal killing of his father at the hands of Spanish conquistadors, a moment that shatters his world and sets him on a path of purpose. Determined to protect the great city of Tenochtitlán, he makes a dangerous journey to warn King Moctezuma and the high priest Yoka that catastrophe is approaching. Under the shadow of the temple devoted to Tzinacan — the bat god — he trains with a seasoned mentor, forging both his spirit and his arsenal. As the empire braces for invasion, he crosses paths with the formidable Jaguar Woman and comes face to face with the conquistador Hernán Cortés. The film asks what heroism looks like when survival of an entire civilization is at stake.
