LEARNING FROM COMPOSER EGO PLUM

With the release of “Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires“, I spoke with the composer for the feature film, Ego Plum. In our conversation, Plum tells us how excited he was to be able to work on a Batman project. He shared with us how he took traditional sounds, the classic theme, and more to create the sounds of the feature film. He also spoke on the importance of the established Batman sounds and how those played a role. Finally he spoke how important it is for him to pass on his knowledge to future composers especially in the Latino community. It was a phenomenal conversation that you can check out below!

ABOUT “AZTEC BATMAN: CLASH OF EMPIRES”

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 conquistador Hernán Cortés.
