So, the question is rather straightforward but also (in my opinion) interesting. See, Mexico has a far, far more heinous crime problem than any city in the United States. Drug Cartels, freaking Bandits, oppressive poverty and the constant specter of a violent death looming over your head. It's the perfect setting for Batman.

What if Bruce Wayne had been born a Mexican? Perhaps his father was an expy of Carlos Slim or some other Mexican mogul, and that was how he inherited his billions. In any case, if his father and mother were killed in the crossfire of a war between two drug cartels, and this was the beginning of his desire to avenge their deaths, how would things proceed from there?

Assume there are equivalents of Alfred and other essential characters. Assume Mexican Batman still trains all across the world to hone his skills to perfection. The only difference being that after this, he returns to Northern Mexico to begin his crusade against crime there, using his wealth, martial prowess and incredible mind to strike terror into the hearts of Mexico's criminal element.

How successful do you think he would be at stopping the Drug Cartels, Bandits and other typical criminals? If he can defeat them, like he did the Mafia in Gotham, it might lead to costumed crazies appearing in their stead. Mexican Joker, anyone?

Nice, but dude mexico is awesome, even with its problems and i'm sure when an honest person comes it will be better, but batman puts too much awesome and Mexican joker is crazy. :)

I don't know how to feel about this. I think I would prefer a "Mexican" Spider-Man or Superman before a richboy wearing a bat suit in Mexico.

Sure, why not?

The major themes at work in Batman are universal, they are not dependant on nationality or race.

@m3th: It seems out of place when you think about it

Just send blue bettle there ....isnt he mexican

@knightfall225: I don't knooow

@lifeofvibe: You mean out of place as in "Mexican" Bruce Wayne "Slim" could help more by using his wealth to fight poverty instead of crime.

The more I think about it the more I see it being possible but it is still hard for me to accept in a way.

what is the question?

@winterfreakinsoldier: this is one of Bruce's main inspirations.

Agreed

Here he what he might have looked like: http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/this-is-what-an-ancient-mayan-batman-suit-might-look-like

Thinking about it now, a modern rendition of El Zorro would be pretty great. I always loved the idea of someone using all they have, no matter how little it is, to protect what they love.

Well, I don't know about Mexican Batman, but we already have Mexican Superman.

Unfortunately, talking about a "Mexican Batman" always causes me to think of a Batman story from 1949 that would really be in somewhat poor taste if they did it in the 21st century.

It takes place in a fictional South American country (not Mexico).

You should (hopefully) be able to see the story here:
