Production

[edit]

On June 13, 2022, at the Guadalajara International Film Festival, HBO Max Latin America announced that production on the film had begun. The first collaboration of Ánima and Warner Bros. Animation, the film is directed by Juan Meza-León and produced by Anima's José C. García de Letona and Fernando De Fuentes.[2] The film is based on Batman-centric characters and is completely produced in Mexico.[5] Sam Register and Tomás Yankelevich served as executive producers, while Alejandro Diaz Barriga served as a cultural consultant.[1][6]

Some reviewers said that the collaboration between Warner Bros. Animation and Latin American companies is likely "one of many", noting that HBO Max Latin America is aiming to "release 50-70 Latin America-branch originals" by 2023.[7][8] In June 2022, Horacio García Rojas was cast as Yohualli/Batman.[4] By September 2022, Aaron D. Berger and Carina Schulze joined the film's production team.[3]

Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires is set to be released on Max Latin America in 2025.[9]
