Hollywood Turned Batman Into An Aztec Warrior That Fights...White Colonialism?!
Warner Bros Reimagines Batman as Aztec Warrior, Sparking Historical Criticism
Analyze Warner Bros.' new Aztec Batman concept, revealing core inconsistencies with Batman lore and condemning its historical revisionism regarding the Spanish Conquest. Learn why this creative choice fails both narrative logic and historical integrity.
Short Summary
- Traditional Batman adheres strictly to a no-kill rule, often requiring creative problem-solving to neutralize threats.
- The Aztec Batman premise forces a paradox: maintaining the no-kill rule within the context of a civilization known for ritualistic mass sacrifice.
- The speaker refutes the comparison of Hernán Cortés to a comic book villain, citing his achievements in conquest and establishing early colonial order.
This segment critiques the new Warner Bros. direction for Batman, framing it as a symptom of "wokeness" while dissecting the incompatible moral frameworks required for the reboot and contrasting them with actual history.

I am a Mexican male born in Mexico and I whole heartedly agree with Matt, Aztecs were not a civilization I would be using as the good guys.
Colonialism is only bad when the Europeans did it but everybody ignores when everyone else did it
we already have a Mexican Batman. His name is Zorro.
Batman: Return the child now, Joker! Joker: No! I will make sure you never have a sacrificial child for you sun god ritual ever again! Batman: Monster!
Can’t wait to see when Batman starts sacrificing humans for good fortune rain
The only way that Cortez was able to defeat the Aztec empire, was because he had so many native American allies, who were sick of the Aztecs demanding tribute and human victims,
Meanwhile in real life the Spanish were only about 2000 strong and about 300,000 mesoamericans allied with them to defeat the Aztecs because they hated the Aztecs so much.
"If your batman wouldn't sacrifice a child for the gods, that's not batman." -Hollywood
Does he ritualistically kill then eat his enemies like the Aztecs did? Then take all of their skulls and decorate his Aztec bat cave of death.
Funniest part is that the Aztecs strongly associated bats with death. And yet here’s the guy who is supposed to not kill people…
