Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires is probably not the Batman film anyone would ever expect. Especially since it’s an AU that takes place long, long before Gotham City was even a mote in the founder’s eye. In fact, as you can tell by the title, it takes place so long ago that the Spanish are still in the midst of trying to conquer the Aztec Empire. Only, this particular incarnation of the Batman isn’t having any of that. The official synopsis for it makes it quite clear:

“This bold reimagining of the Batman legend unfolds within the vibrant and fierce culture of 16th century Mesoamerica. In the time of the Aztec empire, tragedy strikes Yohualli Coatl, a young Aztec boy, when his father is murdered by Spanish conquistadors. To warn King Moctezuma and his high priest, Yoka, of imminent danger, Yohualli escapes to Tenochtitlán. There, he trains in the temple of the bat god Tzinacan with his mentor, developing equipment and weaponry to confront the Spanish invasion and avenge his father’s death. Along the way, he encounters key figures like the fierce Jaguar Woman and the enchanting Forest Ivy.”
