According to Variety, HBO Max Latin America has unveiled an unexpected collaboration that will bring to life Aztec Batman. The new project is the work of Warner Bros. Animation, Particular Crowd, Mexico’s Anima and “Book of Life” producer Chatrone.

This story will introduce us to Yohualli Coatl a young Aztec boy whose father, village leader Toltecatzin, is murdered by Spanish Conquistadors. Coatl flees to Tenochtitlan and with the help Acatzin his mentor and assistant; he trains and develops equipment and weaponry to confront the Spaniard invasion, protect Moctezuma’s temple, and avenge his father’s death. Clearly, this borrows a lot from Batman’s origin story which may guarantee you a good time.
