🏘️ The town of Yohualli
Name: the film does not give it a specific name.
People/culture: indigenous people of Nahua/Mexica tradition.
Location: the story places it in an area that would currently correspond to Veracruz.

What it's like: It's a relatively small and peaceful community, led by Toltecatzin, Yohualli's father. Life changes completely when the Spanish conquistadors arrive.

👉 It's important not to simply call it "an Aztec city": it functions more like an indigenous village/community.

🏙️ Tenochtitlan
Name: Mexico-Tenochtitlan
People/culture: Mexica.
Ruler: Moctezuma II.
What it's like: It's the enormous capital of the Aztec Empire, built on Lake Texcoco. It's the political, religious, and economic center where Yohualli seeks help.
It is also where the Temple of Tzinacan is located, which Yohualli later used as a hideout.

For the film, Tenochtitlan would basically be the "Gotham" of this universe: it is the main setting where much of the story takes place.

🌊 The Veracruz area
It's not exactly a city from the movie, but the region where the story begins.
Yohualli lives there with Toltecatzin before the Spanish arrive. One review of the film explicitly identifies the small initial village as being located in what we now know as Veracruz.

Culture: Mesoamerican indigenous peoples.
What it's like: smaller, rural communities that contrast sharply with the enormous Tenochtitlan.

🇪🇸 Territory of the conquerors
We also have the Spaniards/Castilians, who are not a "Mesoamerican people", but the invading group that arrived with Hernán Cortés.
Culture: Castilian/Spanish.
How they appear: they arrive by sea and advance towards Tenochtitlan seeking to conquer it and obtain its riches.

Tzinacan 🦇: Bat deity/figure. It is directly linked to the origin of Yohualli as Batman, and its temple becomes his refuge.
Tezcatlipoca 🪞: God associated with night, darkness, conflict, and destiny. He has special importance in Yoka's story.
Huitzilopochtli ☀️⚔️: Aztec god of the sun and war. He was one of the most important deities of the Aztecs.
Quetzalcoatl 🐍🪽: The Feathered Serpent, related to knowledge, life, wind and creation.
Tlaloc 🌧️: God of rain, water, and storms. Essential for agriculture.
Coatlicue 🐍: Goddess of the earth and mother of important Mexica deities, associated with life and death.
Mictlantecuhtli 💀: Lord of Mictlán, the Mexica underworld and ruler of the dead.
Mictecacihuatl 💀🌸: Lady of Mictlan and counterpart of Mictlantecuhtli; associated with the dead.
Xipe Tótec 🌽: God related to the renewal of nature, agriculture and life cycles.

Their presence serves to showcase part of the military and cultural structure of the Mexica world.

Height: variable.
Culture: Mexica religion.
Tezcatlipoca is a real deity in Mesoamerican religious tradition, although the film freely adapts his representation.
Within the story, he has a particularly important relationship with Yoka.
It is one of the elements that makes the film blend the DC universe with the Mesoamerican worldview.

☀️ 12. HUITZILOPOCHTLI
Huitzilopochtli
Age: divine.
Height: variable.
Culture: Mexica/Nahua.
She is one of the main Mexica deities and is associated with the sun and war.

🦇 13. TZINACAN — BAT GOD
Tzinacan
Age: divine.
Height: variable.
Culture: fictional representation inspired by Mesoamerican traditions.
It is fundamental to the origin of Yohualli's Batman.
Yohualli finds inspiration in him and uses his image to create his Batman identity.

⚠️ An important detail: Tzinacan is not exactly a documented historical Mexica god as depicted in the film. The film uses a fictional reinterpretation based on the Mesoamerican symbolism of the bat. The Nahuatl term related to bat is tzinacantli. Excélsior

👩 15. YOHUALLI'S MOTHER
Name: unknown.
Age: unknown.
Height: unknown.
Culture: Mexica/Nahua.

Culture: Mexica/Nahua.
Position: priest.
Equivalent: Joker / Joker.
Yoka begins as a respected and extremely devout priest.
But later he begins to hear a supposed divine voice related to Tezcatlipoca and enters a spiral of fanaticism and
His story represents a version of the Joker where the obsession is not related to common crime, but to:
religion,
sacrifice,
fanaticism,
can,
loss of reason.
He is one of the characters who deviates most from the traditional Joker.

🪙 7. HERNÁN CORTÉS — TWO FACES
Hernán Cortés
Age: around 34 years old in 1520. (This is one of the few ages that can be historically approximated.)
Height: historically unknown.
Culture: Spanish/Castilian.
Equivalent: Two-Face / Dos Caras.
Here the film does something VERY interesting:
Hernán Cortés literally occupies the narrative role of Two-Face.
After being disfigured, he is left with a scarred face and begins to use a coin to decide people's fate.
His main obsession is gold and the conquest of Tenochtitlan.
It is probably one of the most direct reinterpretations in the entire film.

Age: approximately 40 years old in the historical period of the film.
Height: unknown.
Culture: Spanish/Castilian.
Equivalent: Azrael.
He is one of Cortés's trusted men and functions as a kind of extremely fanatical enforcer/warrior.
His connection to Azrael lies primarily in the idea of ​​a character who interprets violence and "justice" from a religious perspective.

Forest Ivy
Age: unknown.
Height: approximately 1.70-1.80 m (estimated).
Culture: Mesoamerican.
Equivalent: Poison Ivy / Pamela Isley.
It is a figure related to nature.
In this version, she is a kind of demigoddess of nature, linked to the forest and the destruction caused by the conquerors. She creates a body form made of vegetation.
She is not simply "a woman who controls plants": the film transforms her into a much more mystical and spiritual representation of Mesoamerican nature.

Age: approximately 20-30 years (estimated).
Height: approximately 1.65-1.70 m (estimated).

Personality:
Independent.
Cunning.
Agile.

She doesn't need Batman to "save" her.
She ends up becoming an important ally.
Its concept blends Catwoman with the Mesoamerican symbolism of the jaguar.

Acatzin
Age: approximately 60-70 years (estimated).
Height: approximately 1.65-1.70 m (estimated).
Culture: Mexica/Nahua.

Height: approximately 1.75-1.80 m (estimated).

🌎 Context
The story takes place in Mesoamerica during the Aztec Empire, primarily around Tenochtitlan. Yohualli Coatl is the son of an indigenous leader and belongs to the nobility.
His life changes when Hernán Cortés and the Spanish conquistadors arrive in his region and his father, Toltecatzin, dies. Yohualli manages to reach Tenochtitlan to warn the tlatoani Moctezuma II and the priest Yoka of the danger.

Yohualli ends up training at the temple of Tzinacan, a divine figure associated with the bat created for this version of the story. From there, he develops his identity as Batman, using the image of the bat as a symbol of protection and resilience.
