The new bosses of DC, James Gunn and Peter Safran have scheduled the slate of projects for the next 10 years, but not all projects will be a canon event for the DCU. A few of the films will be a part of DC’s Elseworlds as well.
One of the projects is ‘Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios‘, which will take a unique take on DC’s popular characters. A recent image reveals a positive update about ‘Batman Azteca: Choque de Imperios’.
