#Clayface II

[nerds-yearbook]

The first issue of the 3 issue limited series The Untold Legend of the Batman was published with a cover date of July, 1980. The issue covered some of the key events of Batman's past: his father dressing as a Bat-Man at a costume party where he was abducted to perform medical aid to Lew Moxon, his parents murder by Joe Chill, Bruce Wayne fighting crime as Robin with the help of detective Harvey Harris, learning about law and justice at college from his professor Amos Rexford, the incident where a bat flew through the window inspiring him to become Batman, his early adventures with Dick Grayson as Robin, and the deaths of Joe Chill and Lew Moxon.

Any thoughts about Matt Hagen being the Clayface DC reforms?

This post may be a bit longer than my usual affairs, as I feel he's deserving of analysis both on the comics side and the [major] animated appearance side of things. So, since I mentioned comics first, let's break it down by comics to start. That'll be a lot shorter. Also my dog is giving me a migraine rn because the air conditioner cleaner people have come over.

In the pre-Crisis comics, Matthew Hagen is a petty art/jewel thief who decided to keep thieving when he found out he could shape shift for limited amounts of time before needing to refuel himself. There's...really not much I can say about comic!Matt, as that's literally his entire character. Sure, I've personally expanded upon him in fic, but fanfiction isn't canon and that's kind of the entire point of fanfiction. Literally this man was so irrelevant that DC killed him off in the 1980's and no one batted an eye. Afaik, they never brought him back either, except in tie-in material for the Young Justice series. In which his origin is entirely different, but we'll talk about that if/when I can get Rue to stop screaming at the repairman because she's getting on my nerves. In short, I guess you could redeem comics!Matt, but there's no canon evidence that he would ever want to stop committing crimes. Maybe that would be different if he was brought back and his origin reinvented. But I don't always deal in hypotheticals.

I'll be going over his animated appearances next.

- Batman: the Animated Series/The New Batman Adventures/Justice League: first of all, I fucking hate BtAS as a whole and could barely stomach my way through Feat of Clay pts 1 and 2. It makes me ill, and not in a good way; about the only episode I tolerate is the Mr. Freeze origin. But, ignoring the fact this version of Matt's backstory is entirely lifted from what the comic books and other media would do to Basil Karlo as there was no canon basis for Matt ever wanting to be an actor [although I guess you could swing it, Matt's greatest flaw is his greed], it's a decent enough introduction that doesn't fail to make the character it's introducing sympathetic; note that I haven't watched any of the later episodes of BtAS where he appears, but I've heard things. It's not awful within the context of the canon it comes from, and I could definitely see that version of Matt becoming a hero if not some normal guy again. The accident wasn't his fault, and in later appearances he still didn't seem to be all that thrilled about the crime thing. Also what was up with "Growing Pains" as an episode. At the very least, it showed his desire for a normal life, even if he had to create an entirely separate person [who became her own thing] to experience it.

- Young Justice: first off I've never personally watched this show. My knowledge of it is still fairly comprehensive though, thanks to my friend Conner being a walking encyclopedia. And I actually really like how Matt is in this show. His relationship with Talia is dare I say almost cute if extremely one sided [as he's just using her to find a cure for his terminal cancer], and the concept of him being part of the League of Shadows is one I feel should transition into the mainline comic series proper as there's really a lot you could do with that. I like how he redeems himself, not quickly but gradually. Re. Young Justice: Targets #1; he's working as a security guard and bodyguard, and seems genuinely content with his life.

In summary; redeeming Matt can work, you just have to know what you're doing as an author. Don't hijack some other Clayface's origin to do it, because people will notice. Maybe not many people, but people will notice. I'll notice.

ok so looking at the direction james gunn dcu superman movie is going in i hope all the moves r simular in tone. i hope the batman movies picks a really comic booky antagonist (my recommendations: manbat, clayface, ivy, solomon grundy, killer croc) and dont make them more realistic or any of that shit theres aliens in this universe.

look we already got battinson for more grounded realistic batman and im pretty sure the batman 2 and james gunn batman r releasing the same year so theres no point in making them simular tonally. the dcu batman can focus on some of the more fantastical members of batmans rogues gallery and battinson can do the more realistic ones

The Batman Part II: My Theories

Please take this with a block of salt because as of right now all we have are rumors. Maybe take that block of salt home to your cows :)

Theory #1: Clayface

So, word is that Clayface may appear as the main villain in Part II. I've noticed some people in various comment sections being doubtful, because a giant shapeshifting monster made out of clay is a sharp left turn from the "grounded realism" of the first movie. They make a good point, which is why I predict that, if Clayface is actually going to appear, he'll be based on the Golden Age version. This was Basil Karlo, a failed actor who took on the alter ego of Clayface, a villain he used to play, to kill various actors and was thwarted by Batman and Robin.

Now, having two serial killer villains in a row would be repetitive, so I theorize that this Clayface will take a different approach. Imagine Basil Karlo using his skills in impressions and makeup (maybe a cutting-edge prosthetic face mask called a "clay face") to impersonate celebrities in Gotham, only to purposefully get caught in scandals. The real celebrity insists it wasn't them, but it's too late, and they're effectively "killed" in the courtroom of public opinion. And Clayface didn't even need to lay a finger on them.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is finally trying to develop his public image after ~20 years, only to discover a villain with the ability to singlehandedly undo all his progress in the eyes of Gotham. In the comics, this would be the part where Batman and Robin are on the case, which leads me to...

Theory #2: Robin

We haven't had a well-received Boy Wonder on the big screen since Burt Ward played him in 1966. If you're anything like me, that's pretty damn frustrating (Dick Grayson appeared in the comics before the Joker AND before Alfred!). So hearing this rumor of Dick Grayson appearing in Part II is both exciting and nerve-wracking, because writing a believable child sidekick in a "grounded, realistic" superhero movie is a challenge. Just logistically, it works in stories like Logan or The Last of Us, because X-23 is immortal and can shrug off most injuries, while Joel eventually taught Ellie how to shoot. But with Batman and Robin, you have a very-much-mortal kid wearing a colorful costume going up against the kinds of people who quite literally emptied their magazines into Batman's chest last movie. How do you make that character fit believably into the world you've made?

Obviously the only ones who can answer that question are Matt Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, the writers for Part II. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice some ways that Dick Grayson might've been set up in The Batman. First off: the mayor's son. Bats interacts with him three times throughout the movie. He saves the kid's life twice, once as Bruce and once as Batman. Furthermore, the mayor's son is the first civilian to trust Batman after the flood: he walks towards Bats first, and everyone else follows. In the wise words of Red from OSP, if you can't imagine your Batman comforting a scared child, then you haven't written Batman, you've written the Punisher in a funny hat.

Second: HBO's Penguin series. The fact that they're introducing other gangsters from the comics (Sofia and Alberto Falcone, Salvatore Maroni) gives me hope that they might take the opportunity to introduce Tony Zucco, the gangster who killed Dick Grayson's parents. There are quite a few actors cast in undisclosed roles, maybe one of them plays Zucco...? Either way, setting up Zucco's extortion of Haly's Circus in The Penguin and following it up in Part II with the Flying Graysons' murders would be a good way to tie those stories together.

Third: Bruce Wayne's reappearance. Part I was all about Batman discovering that he has to be more than vengeance, and Reeves has said we'll be seeing more of Bruce Wayne in Part II. Perhaps Bruce's first major public appearance is attending a performance by Haly's Circus, and he just so happens to witness the deaths of the Flying Graysons. And we know what happens next. What better way to force Bruce to take his image seriously (aside from Clayface's shenanigans) than for him to suddenly have an angry, traumatized, highly impressionable kid in his life?

Fourth: This is the weakest reason, but at the end of the movie Selina mentions she's moving to Blüdhaven, which also happens to be where Dick Grayson goes after growing up and becoming Nightwing.

That turned out longer than I thought it would be. Again, these are all just rumors, but I wanted to put my thoughts and theories down in writing in an organized way, and to see what anyone else thinks. Thank you for reading.

Los rumores sobre el villano de 'The Batman - Part II' podrían aclarar la existencia de una película de DC que todo el mundo espera

Los rumores sobre el villano de 'The Batman - Part II' podrían aclarar la existencia de una película de DC que todo el mundo espera pero que no ha sido confirmada

Todo lo que realmente sabemos acerca de The Batman – Part II es que está sucediendo, la secuela está programada para llegar a los cines en octubre de 2025, no estará conectada con el reinicio del DCU de James Gunn, y todos los principales actores que sobrevivieron a la primera entrega estarán de vuelta. Más allá de eso, todo son rumores y especulaciones, pero los últimos rumores sobre la posible…

[ablobwhowrites]

Do you think detective y/n does anything in particular without knowing to catch the eye of certain heros or villans. Like he has a mini garden and Poison ivy brings over her plant babies to meet his. Or like he likes to do the crossword puzzles in the newspaper and suddenly the riddler starts sending him riddles in the mail

(detective y/n just wants to have a normal hobby.)

Detective y/n can't have any normal hobbies in Gotham. Like if y/n has a art hobby and makes art or does pottery, just know Catwoman is taking his paintings, pottery or anything art related things y/n makes. This goes the same with the penguin but he gets his henchmen to take it. If Bruce finds out then he's getting supplies for y/n and it worries how Bruce knows he has a art hobby.

Gardening is not normal, I tell you want cause y/n always comes to check on his plants and sees more that he didn't put there and think it's just the plants growing more. And now he has a small version of Audrey II from little shop of horrors but instead of wanting to eat people, they spy on y/n for ivy and they are taken care of pretty well. Y/n is afraid of pissing off the sentient plant that likes to eat meat but they do make for a grea buddy to talk to in the mornings.

Riddler loves sending y/n stuff in the mail and he's even more in love than he already is when hearing, y/n likes doing word puzzles or just anything that involves riddles or anything like that. Bro is sending y/n more things and his mailbox is overflowing with letters and things riddler has sent. And oh boy if y/n likes the theater and with clay face use to being a actor, more or less shows y/n the stuff clay face use to do and their roles in movies and such. (sorry if I'm getting clay face's character wrong but he was a actor but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) y/n being scared for his live obviously but clayface just kinda ranting on about the glory of being a actor of the arts and the most spectacular roles he played in but obviously Batman comes to save y/n.

If y/n shows interests in studying fish or something then black manta is definitely going to snatch y/n up to take him into his domain. (Manta makes sure that y/n can breath with the oxygen tanks he put on y/n) like manta is definitely not going to trap y/n down in his domain so manta can keep y/n forever.

The heros are as bad as the villains as superman or flash hears that y/n likes to travel. Y/n would be asked what country they'd like to go to and then immediately they would be picked up and carried to the place they wanted to go and let me tell you, when y/n was finally able to stand on their own after bascially being delivered to another country they wanted to see. They did yell a bit at flash or superman (after throwing up from how fast they were going.), they did try to enjoy their time there for a until having to go home the same way they came in (y/n is clinging into flash or superman for dear life when traveling fast in far distances).

The bat family is just as bad. Because Grayson and y/n work together like Gordon and Batman basically, so it's nice to have at least a normal person who would listen to y/n about his hobbies. As y/n does like to read books a lot and even started a good chunk of a collection. But of course, they can't be normal as Grayson would be recommending his favorite books (he's been wanting to yap about the books he reads. But most are murder mysteries or thrillers or something.) Damian likes to be included but manly lures in the shadows keeps tabs on y/n as Damian actually likes being around y/n like a little brother and big brother dynamic. Tim is the same as Damian but more of wanting to show y/n cool shows he watches and wants to have y/n see how cool they are and stuff because Damian doesn't like the shows or movies tim watches, Grayson is always busy and Jason doesn't really care all that much but watches them with tim. But y/n actually does like the shows and stuff so Tim will yap about his favorite characters to y/n and then deep dive on the series. Jason has a whole weapon arsenal and knife collection that he is very proud of and shows to y/n as still basically seeing y/n as a cool friend and wanting to show off his cool collection but Jason also does like reading the books y/n likes as they could talk about it in the future depending on when y/n comes over to the manor again.

Also imagining when Valentines comes around, just detective y/n being kidnapped by joker and Harley to have a romantic dinner but Batman saves y/n (to much of jokers and Harley's dismay) and ended up getting multiple Valentine cards and date requests letters from heros and villains a like. Detective y/n can't have a day off cause duty calls (also I'm planning to have detective y/n start dating someone in the series but I'll keep that secret for later. He's finally getting some love but later, he needs his angst arc to continue till then.)

(That's if for my yap session today but if you want more please don't be shy and request any ideas for stories or y/n ideas. But for now please stay safe and drink water!)

[wanderingmind867]

If we get a new Batman tv show with pre crisis Jason Todd as Robin (as I continue to insist we need), we should definitely have Black Mask in the show as a prominent antagonist. You've seen all my posts on him and his backstory. He's perfect. This child of wealthy parents who hates social rules and conventions and masks. This almost anti capitalist businessman. He's a series of internal contradictions, but he has some really good merit for use as a Batman villain. Pair him with Two-Face and Clayface, have a story about masking. Pair him with Riddler, another character who might be autistic and who definitely understands hiding your true self. Pair him with Zsasz (like i've pitched before) and you'll get too weird men who hate society and might love each other.

Jason Todd and Roman Sionis don't have to be violent enemies like they seem to be nowadays. They can have a more fascinating relationship than that. Black Mask needs to become a bigger villain that everyone can learn n about. And I won't stop pushing until we finally see it happen. A show based on the pre crisis adventures of Batman and Robin II (Jason Todd) would be the perfect show in which to introduce Roman Sionis as a major antagonist.

!!!! announced that Robin is going to be in The Batman II and also Clayface and like ROBIN they're giving Battinson a CHILD

DC Studios is facing backlash for prioritizing a #Clayface movie over #TheBatman II, frustrating fans of #MattReeves' vision of Gotham.

The Clayface film, scripted by Mike Flanagan and set for release on September 11, 2026, was announced alongside its release date. However, #JamesGunn stated on Threads that no draft of The Batman II exists yet, contradicting Reeves' Entertainment Weekly claim that the script was finished and production would start in 2025. Fans accuse Gunn of dishonesty or favoring The Batman II's competitors as the controversial Clayface film debuts just ahead of the Batman sequel on October 2, 2026.

With Reeves believed to have been working on the script since 2022, some speculate that creative conflicts between Reeves and Gunn could be causing delays, raising questions about #DCStudios' direction.

LOGAN Star Boyd Holbrook Rumored To Be In Talks To Play Two-Face In THE BATMAN - PART II

(source: comicbookmovie.com)

A new rumor doing the rounds online is claiming that Boyd Holbrook (Logan, The Sandman) is in talks to play Harvey Dent/Two-Face in Matt Reeves' The Batman sequel…

Plot details for Matt Reeves' highly-anticipated sequel to The Batman are still under wraps, but several rumors relating to certain characters that could be introduced have been doing the rounds over the past few months. DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn appeared to debunk reports that the likes of Scarecrow, Clayface, Professor Pyg, and Hush, were set to appear in the movie, but we're now hearing that Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, may have a part to play. According to CanWeGetSomeToast, Boyd Holbrook is in talks to play the classic Batman villain in the upcoming sequel. Holbrook has quite a bit of experience portraying bad guys, having appeared as Donald Pierce in Logan, The Corinthian in Netflix's The Sandman, and more recently, Kaber in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. When the new DCU slate was announced, James Gunn confirmed that Reeves' "BatVerse" will remain separate from the DCU, so this movie, along with Todd Phillips' Joker sequel, will be considered "Elseworlds" tales. A new actor will don the cape and cowl for Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which will also feature a different take on Robin - The Caped Crusader's son, Damian Wayne. Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, and Colin Farrell are all expected to reprise their respective roles, and characters introduced in the Penguin Max spin-off series are also likely to appear. As far as official info goes, Reeves has stated that his sequel will continue this "epic crime saga," but that's about all we have to go on. One rumor did claim that the story will be at least partially based on Geoff Johns' Batman: Earth One. Of course, the first film took a certain amount of inspiration from Vol. 1, so we assume the sequel would be more influenced by Volumes 2 and 3. For those unfamiliar with the comic, Earth One takes place in the alternate continuity and features an updated and more realistic reinterpretation of the classic Batman origin and characters. Hush does not appear, but the later volumes do feature Clayface, Scarecrow, and a female take on Two-Face in Harvey Dent's twin sister Jessica. What do you make of this casting rumor? Assuming Two-Face will appear, do you think Holbrook would be a good pick for the character?

[hornedtussock]

Istg if the world can't get its shit together before the Clayface movie or the Batman II come out, I'm gonna pull a Scarecrow and contaminate the water supply..

"Everyone will feel it" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?? CAN I GO ONE DAY WITHOUT HAVING MY ANXIETY PUMPED TO TEN?

I WANNA WAKE UP NOW. HELLO? SIMULATION PEOPLE? UNPLUG ME FROM MY VR SET, IM ALL DONE. IVE HAD ENOUGH, LET ME OUT

I JUST WANNA LIVE LIFE 😭

THE BATMAN - PART II. Delayed a whole year - from October 2026 to October 2027... Part of a little Warner Bros. slate change that also swaperoo'ed SINNERS and MICKEY 17. I think it's cool that Bong Joon-Ho's new movie opens sooner, after being delayed a few times, and SINNERS opening Easter weekend is a clever touch lol. Plus, it gives September 2026 DC release CLAYFACE its space to breathe. It'd be a little weird opening that so close to a new Batman movie, haha.

A gentle reminder that a release date is merely a suggestion. Something meant to get investors excited for what might come during a particular fiscal quarter. Business-businessy stuff, ya know?

It's fun to play chess with dates, but don't get too cut up if something has to move. I'm just glad it's still happening, in this day and age of things getting scrapped very liberally and willy-nilly, or WORSE... Made into a tax write-off.

I'm curious as to when THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD comes out, then. Currently, no DC Universe movie is set for 2027, and I don't know if two live-action Batman movies will share a year. 2028 has the animated DYNAMIC DUO, a Robin-Robin movie. I'm guessing this particular Batfamily movie is a while away, and that's fine. Batman gets rebooted in live-action with a new actor quite frequently, so we'll need some time after THE BATMAN first debuted in 2022. And that was already some six years after Ben Affleck's Batman debuted in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE.

So, live-action film timeline, starting at BATMAN '89...

1989-1992: Michael Keaton - BATMAN, BATMAN RETURNS

Part Two of my take on Clayface II (Matt Hagen): With his face disfigured and his career as an actor ruined, Matt goes back to being an adventurer. He knows there's gotta be some kind of treasure out there capable of curing his deformities, so he goes hunting the globe for it. He does it all by his lonesome. Just him alone, exploring the seas and the lands and the skies. For years matt wasted away on this seemingly hopeless task, but eventually he finds something. A pool of protoplasm buried in a cave somewhere just outside of Gotham City. Tripping over a rock in the cave, matt hits his head hard against the wall and then falls unconscious, his sleeping body submerged in the pool.

When Matt wakes up (some 2-3 hours later), he finds that his body has been transformed into some sort of clay like substance. Now capable of molding his body to resemble anything, matt decides to test his new powers by commiting a crime wave (to recoup all the money he had lost in this years long treasure hunt). He was a big threat in Gotham City, and he nearly dealt Batman and Robin a solid and complete loss.

But Matt Hagen quickly found out the one drawback to his new powers: they only lasted 48 hours. Then his body returned to it's normal, disfigured shape. So he had to keep returning to his pool of protoplasm, ritualistically bathing in it to keep his powers. Eventually though, Batman and Robin discover his secret cave. And after a long and tense battle, they manage to block the cave from hagen by causing a massive rockslide within the cave. Luckily for Matt, he had already stolen a flask of gel from the pool, and he spent his time in jail studying up on how to make a synthetic copy of the pool's protoplasm. It gave him far more limited abilities, but he was successfully able to use this to continue his crime speed as Clayface.

But this was really where matt hagen's story ends, for the most part. He ends up obsessed with trying to find a way back to the protoplasm pool, which puts him in constant conflict with Batman. He never managed to find a permanent path back there, but overexposure to the chemicals in his synthetic protoplasm eventually made him a permanent shapeshifter anyways. He's tried to get back into the acting game since then, but it's just not been easy. So most of the time he's just a common criminal, one of five clayfaces batman has dealt with over the years.

PS: Oh, and before I forget, let me finally fill in the details on Matt Hagen's two main shows/roles: Martin Kennedy III and Anthony Carlson on "Welcome Back, Daddy!". The role of Martin Kennedy III was permanently retired after Matt's accident. It left behind a legacy of four seasons, a feature film and three tv movies. Meanwhile, "Welcome Back, Daddy!" was cancelled after season five, only to be replaced by new shows with some of the old cast.

With Matt Hagen gone, the network realizes that Mary Louise Dahl and Buddy Standler are their most popular solo stars. So they give Mary Louise her own show, a very kitschy and wholesome style show where she pretty much just plays a combination of shirley temple and dennis the menace. This was the show she became known for: "Love that Baby!"

It was a decent show, but the fame of it all went to Mary Louise's head. It ran for 4 seasons. It would've done more, but in season four Mary began to hate it. She was now 14, stuck in a 7-9 year old's body. It was hell. So when the network threatened to add a new child star, mary quit and chose to explore other film and tv options. This can be talked about more if I ever give Baby Doll a solo note, however.

Meanwhile, Buddy Standler got a spin-off show where his character got divorced from his wife, and then moved back to his hometown in providence, rhode island. The show did really poorly, and it barely got a full season. So that pretty much put an end to Buddy Standler's career, leading him to waste away in a purgatory hell all his own. But I'll discuss this more too if i ever make a condiment king note.
