Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires Release Date: When and Where to Watch It
The film will premiere in Mexico on September 18, 2025, before reaching a global audience through HBO Max on September 19, 2025. First announced back in 2022, the project stands out as a fresh reimagining of the Batman mythos, placing Batman directly within the clash between the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquest.
In this version, Cortes embodies a twisted reflection of Two-Face after suffering a disfiguring injury. At the same time, an Aztec priest becomes Yoka, a Joker-like figure, who commits gruesome sacrifices in the name of Huitzilopochtli. The film blends history with DC’s legendary rogues, giving the Dark Knight some of his most unsettling adversaries yet.
