There are literal dozens of different tribes and cultures to pick from in this exact historical setting but they chose to make Batman part of the one that enslaved, sacrificed, brutalized and subjugated every other tribe to the point the other tribes all sided with Cortez. All because making Batman side with white people wouldn't be hecking wholesome chungus reddit 100.

Making it so that Joker was the first and only priest that engaged in human sacrifice and then sided with the Spainish is some weapons-grade historical revisionism too, but that's a whole other can of worms.


The animation and voice acting isn't even good either, I'm not surprised this is the current-year equivalent of straight-to-DVD drek.

It really is atrociously lazy how under-used the rest of the Bat rogue's gallery is.

Reminds me of the Batman cartoon Beware the Batman. It leaned heavily on obscure, underutilized Batman villains, like Magpie, Professor Pyg, and Anarky as a Joker replacement, with only a few exceptions like Deathstroke. The show got canceled, and it seems to have faded from everyone’s memory.

I don’t think Beware the Batman was poorly written, even if it wasn’t perfect. In fact I think it was a very good show with a very human Batman. It took bold risks, like swapping Robin for Katana and introducing a younger Alfred, and that effort to do something fresh deserves credit.

It’s one of the few Batman projects to spotlight lesser-known villains. Still, it’s naive to think avoiding heavyweights like Joker or Riddler didn’t make it less popular.Audiences expect iconic villains like Joker to show up eventually, and it’s no surprise why.

Big-name directors want their films to succeed, so they stick with A-list villains like Harley Quinn instead of gambling on someone like Magpie. Look at Zack Snyder—he got greedy and crammed Superman’s death, Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight, and Wonder Woman’s introduction into one movie.

Batman has an incredible roster of underused villains, but it’s unlikely we will see these amazing characters in major films until they’ve proven themselves elsewhere (besides comics).

Beware The Batman was decent, but early 2000s cgi shows aren't known for their longevity. Overall I liked The Batman 2004 a lot better and that show wasn't shy about including more niche villains or going in a new direction with the mainstays they did use.

So in this version, Batman fights the white people that try to end the Aztec ways of slavery and human sacrifice.

This is such an utterly insane and genuinely confusing period and setting to throw Batman in. The whole idea of a tribal Batman just makes no sense. I always thought he was supposed to be a detective using all kinds of technology and top-of-the-line equipment, not sacrificing children to Goddess Shitrapeass so he can reveal the locations of his enemies. I'd love an animated version of something like Gotham 1919 with all the crazy ass experimental technology

I always find it baffling when people try to whitewash the Aztecs. Something that is always overlooked about the Spanish conquest is that the main reason the Conquistadors won wasn't the tech advantage (they were initially too few in numbers and Europeans wouldn't start arriving en masse until after the conquest), it was because ALL the other natives fucking hated the Aztecs for the reasons you mention and they readily joined the Conquistadors to fuck them up.

The Aztecs were such bloodthirsty retards that they even used sacrificed human flesh in their soup (pozole). They're lucky that the Conquistadors didn't bring any women, so they had an incentive to keep them around.

I mean I guess it's not the most outlandish thing to exist in the Watchmen universe, tech-wise you can kinda squeeze it in.

But... why? What possible reason would you have to add fucking Dino-Mutt to Watchmen of all things?

tbh this sounds like the sort of thing that makes it in as an in-joke, like on a whiteboard where Adrian is brainstorming ideas have ROBOT DOG? crossed out in the corner

BTB had good ideas and intentions but horrible execution. To use obscure villains was a good idea but everyone of them was a lesser version of a well established one as opposed to one filling a niche the bigger names did not. Add the fact that the best villains were few and far between and you get one bad decision after another like a cascade. Katana was a reasonable decision though. She was a sidekick that could be used as a surrogate mother to future Robins.

The women the Conquistadors fucked were mainly the tribes that were allied with them. Why bother with the Aztecs when you have others that are just as pretty and way more open to Christianity?

I will give BTB credit, it had a pretty great Professor Pyg. Wish the comics would update him to fit more with the show as I think a crazed animal rights activist whose Pygmalion roots have him converting people into animals was a cooler concept. It gave him more material and isn't completely edgy to the point of being unusable outside of adult content.

Sounds like the Simpson's commentaries on actors was on point.

Isn't that guy just an edgier Joker made by Morrison anyway? At least he's relatively new.
