“Find that bat and that cat…” Warner Bros Animation has revealed the official trailer for Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires, a brand new animation creation from the studio. The Caped Crusader returns! But now he’s in another time & place. The actual Spanish title is Batman Azteca: Choque De Imperios. A young Aztec boy experiences tragedy when his father is murdered by Spanish Conquistadors. Yohualli escapes to Tenochtitlan to warn King Moctezuma and his high priest, Yoka, of imminent danger. From Warner Bros. Animation, Ánima and Chatrone, and based on characters from DC, the all-new animated film places the iconic DC Super Hero against the backdrop of the captivating history of Mexico & immerses fans around the world in the exciting culture of Mesoamerica. The Spanish audio version of the film features Mexican voice actors Horacio García Rojas, Omar Chaparro, and Álvaro Morte. The English voice cast features Jay Hernandez and Raymond Cruz. Both the Spanish & English versions will be available to watch on VOD or BR when it drops in September. Similar to that other Batman-in-Japan movie Batman Ninja a few years ago. They even got an Aztec Catwoman, Two-Face, Joker, & Poison Ivy up in here. Looks like geeky DC fun.
