The Aztecs were known for ripping the hearts out of their alive victims. Will Batman Azteca being doing that in the film?

If so, it will be just one more reason for me to not see it.

Notice that in the picture the victim is not an evil white Spanish conquistador, but a person of color.

Even though, they were heathens and savages by definition. You maybe not call them that today. Not PC.

The Aztecs took the opportunity to sacrifice a few conquistadors as well. According to contemporary accounts, during the battle for Tenochtitlan, groups of Aztec warriors would rush the Spanish line for the sole purpose of dragging back a conquistador and sacrificing him right in front of his horrified fellows. This had the effect of either making them think about retreating, or fighting all the more fiercely.
