How will Clayface work in live action? Will he be more paranormal? I love the idea of a detective thriller with a killer who can change how he looks

I'm ok with adapatations but the animated series set the bar pretty high with clayface, I hope they can deliver.
BTAS is god tier
My dad came in from working outside once when I was young watching BTAS. It was durring a scene were Batman was trapped and fighting something. My dad stood beside the tv and was captivated. As we watched My mom yelled at him to do something.
>Hang on, mom. I gotta see how Batman gets out of this!
My dad enjoyed that show more than I did. Good times.
I got into the show and Beyond because my older sister was huge fan and when I showed interest in superheroes (more specifically Batman) she showed it to me. It’s before my time but I still really love it. I’m her words she would watch it religiously
ai generated garbage
I heard this scene was a hell of a thing to animate.
Afaik they got the people who worked on Akira to animate this.
I can definitely see that. Reminded me a lot of how Kaneda's mutations looked.
This is fricking incredibly well animated and it's all done by hand. We can't get shows that look even halfway decent as a still image these days with gigantic budgets and all the time saving that digital provides, much less look nice in motion, hell I'm pretty sure the framerate on this is much higher than the stuttering slideshow you see in shit like Invincible. What the frick happened?
People learned about labor rights and animating is a thankless job for just something that'll be seen in seconds.
While I'm not gonna argue that modern animation is shit, people forget that with scenes like that they basically blew the entire budget on those few seconds and the rest of the episode doesn't look nearly as good.
>seen in seconds
>as we're watching that same sequence decades later
People will be talking about BTAS' animation for years to come. The DCAU is still held up as the pinnacle of Western animation. Invincible will be forgotten in a matter of months.
Early dragon ball is one of the comfiest shows ever made
so why is he evil exactly?
He's a closeted homo
Amazing shit.
>Batman sounding like he just survived a strangling
It's the little things.
I watched this last night and wondered to myself if they would ever do a live adaptation of clayface
I was actually scared of Clayface as a kid and I hid behind my bed. The way he could shapeshift into anything freaked me the frick out. Same with the Blob
is it confirmed they're doing clayface? tell you the truth i don't think reeves could make it work with the tone he's set. that's more of a raimi kind of thing.
I hope not. I think there is a lot of creative potential and clayface could be a means to introduce the more paranormal aspects of Batman into the movies. Just direct the movie in a way where it's not over-the-top and out of place. Imagine this
>Batman chases a murderer through the city
>The murderer makes it into a crowd and Batman loses sight of him but it shouldn't be possible based on the way he was dressed or something
or
>The murderer is able to pass through a metal gate (we don't see how because we stay on Batman) so we only see him running away on the other side when Batman catches up
or
>The Murderer traps Batman in clay and confronts him, face to face
>Starts delivering a monologue about how Batman will never find him and that he should give up
>He passes through a shadow while talking
>Comes out on the other side looking like a completely different person
>Direct it as the surreal and unnatural act that it is
>He disappears back into the shadows
Imagine that juxtaposed to a big gay blob monster. The climax could dive into more overt gothic/body horror if they want to do something big and monstrous. Play it like the chase scene in Se7en.
Also crime scenes having clay like substances but no DNA
They're not using clayface
>Most likely, no matter how Hush shows up in the movie, he won't be the only villain since even the first film featured numerous antagonists. After all, the movie is slated to feature Clayface in his first big screen appearance.Oct 16, 2023
we're not doing the supervillain shuffle
there have been like 20 clayfaces and reeves will definitely have the gayest interpretation possible
Gayface?
yes sonny boy, i think gayface is apt
>clayface
>not Joker like they teased at the end
>not Riddler coming back to play both sides and help Batman catch Joker like Lecter by giving Bats esoteric riddles for Joker's motives and whereabouts
KINO
Any excuse for more classic Dano.
It's a trilogy so I'm assuming they'll save Joker as the big bad of the final movie
I'm pretty sure I've also read those words when the Nolan films were still coming out.
I mean he's confirmed to be a character already but I don't think they'll use him when there's talks of Clayface being the main villain of the next film
>It's a trilogy
Citation needed
Holy shit frick Joker can we not require Joker in every fricking iteration of Batman?
But he's already there, no point in me ignoring it.
Probably would just do the golden age version where he’s a Phantom of the Opera type serial killer
it's gonna be some guy with super technology that projects a hologram on his face that allows him to look however he wants
He will be trans in this most overused of woke vehicles
You just know he or another character is going to throw in some sort of "non-binary" observation.
Insta cancelled. Making gender people shape shifting villains is a no no
clayface is a metaphor for _____
after seeing the first flick, it's probably going to be some guy that literally makes masks out of clay, but the movie will portray them as different actors
they will never make clayface in muh realistic batguy
batman is going to punch someone's head in and it turns out it's just ceramic
something stupid like that
he fired someone's head in a kiln with his expert clay powers and forced them to be the villain on his behalf so he wouldn't kill their kid
This is easy. Just make Hush and Clayface team up.
Hush is a surgeon and the son of the reporter that got killed in the first movie. Clayface used to be an actor before he got into an accident that fricked up his face and wears a clay mask to hide it.
Clayface will kill people and act as them while Hush is the one who surgically grafts their faces on Clayface. Hush wants revenge on Bruce Wayne and uses Clayface to get to him and steal his identity.
only if its done in stop motion animation
I'd love if they added some paranormal shit into this "grounded" Batman universe but that's probably not likely cause of it. Clayface would probably get his name from dipping his victims heads in clay or something boring like that.
Clayface and Freeze = certified kino
it could if they went more magical "realist" surreal
freeze could freeze them, then clayface could shape them
it could take place at the end of the first one when the streets are still flooded and crime is breaking out all crazy and freeze starts freezing the damn floods
i'd be into that
you could go really crazy imaginative with it
they won't do that though, that would be too creative and fun
That's Sandface
>"It's clobberin' time!"
its a homeless guy with some dirt on him
gotta keep Clayface sympathetic tho. give him the Sandman treatment and toss in some sick kid.
>"I just want my kids back!"
I know she's a lost piece of Clayface, but how did she become sentient?
What happens to her, I forget.
She was created to be her and became her by not being attached to the main body. She became her own thing and knew she wasn’t real
Did he re-absorb her in the end? I feel like Batman left her behind in a sewer or something.
that episode was secretly animated by studio ghibli because they owed some flavors to toei.
i just beat arkham city and the clayface design was a good bit of fun i think
Save that for the DCU Batman movie, I’m sure the Batman part 2 will have Hush as the villain
>DCU Batman movie
With George Clooney? I thought Batfleck was dead
The new DC universe movies, Batman the brave and the bold
would be aesthetic if it kept an urbex/abandoned places feel with overgrown plants and labyrinthine sewers
Well the last movie ended with Gotham underwater and under martial law. I wonder how they will go over that in the next movie.
They'll cover all that stuff in the Penguin streaming show.
they can reference the actual nyc sewers
I hope they don't use Hush because I have no idea who Hush is. I assume it's some shit from a comic in 2013 or the Arkham games.
