Huītzilōpōchtli watches as Tenochtitlan burns in 1520
The god watched from the top of the temple of Huītzilōpōchtli the destruction wrought by the Spanish conquistadors. The pyramids and temples that had once been so proud of themselves were no more, their intricate carvings and frescoes melted to burning trash. The streets – filled before with Aztec bazaars and procession parades – now lay empty and quiet except for a few screaming and wailing cries.
Huītzilōpōchtli bled at the sight of his people’s sacred city. He was a war and sacrifice-god, and his people had taken him to be unstoppable. But now, when the city burned, he saw nothing but misery and powerlessness.
The god thought about his father, Huanitzin, a former temple high priest. He thought of the innumerable sacrifices they’d made together, the blood of the innocent cascading like rivers to the gods. Despite the countless human sacrifices that had been offered to appease the gods, the city of Tenochtitlan still fell to the flames of the Spanish conquest in 1521, a devastating blow that would forever alter the course of Aztec history.
When the sun was setting, Huītzilōpōchtli's eyes glazed over the face of the Aztec emperor Moctezuma Xocoyotzin on the temple spire, gaze set on the smoldering city. Moctezuma, who had once welcomed the Spanish as gods, now lay dead amidst the smoldering ruins of his city, a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of his misplaced trust.

Batman jumping out of an exploding fiery building
I pulled the title/credit panel from Detective Comics #1074 published by DC Comics that was drawn by Dustin Nguyen; extended the art a bit, and finally placed it inside a nice flame-bordered panel.
