As reported by Deadline, Clayface will appear in Batman II, although the details of the script are still being finalized. This wolf has the ability to change shape and his true form is a monstrous mud monster. Apparently, Matt Reeves decided to include the character of the plot, but director Mike Flanagan proposed to Warner Bros. The invention of the only film making a villain, in a funny style.
The report indicates that this project has not yet been unlocked and is separate from both the Pattinson franchise and the extended James Gunn universe. Moreover, a completely independent film would be included in the so-called Elseworlds label, which includes a feature film that is not part of the main saga or sharing continuity with it. Yes, we would see a different version of the villain in the Batman sequel, but we also want the chance to enjoy the character’s solo movie.
It seems that Warner Bros. Discover that Clayface has big plans for the near future, and this is a great opportunity to get into one of the most iconic villains of the Batman franchise. We’re eager to learn more about this project and how it relates to the rest of the DC Universe movies.
Who is Clayface?
Clayface is a fictional DC comic book villain who first appeared in Detective Comics #40 in 1940. His real name is Basil Karlo, a Hollywood actor turned serial killer obsessed with his role in a horror film about a monster made of clay.
Karlo gains his abilities by exposing himself to chemicals that give him the ability to change the shape and texture of his skin, allowing him to transform into any person or thing he wants. Also he can regenerate the body, after the size and shape of its members have been destroyed.
There have been several characters over the years who have assumed the identity of Clayface, with various characters and origins. Among them are actors Matt Hagen, who used a special cream to transform into villains, and Preston Payne, who was exposed to a chemically enhanced version of the original formula and turned into a dangerous amorphous monster.
Clayface is considered among Batman’s most dangerous enemies due to his ability and regenerative powers, allowing him to escape from difficult situations. He was also part of several supervillain teams, such as the Suicide Squad and the Injustice League.
