What Do We Know About The New Clayface? | Batman Caped Crusader 

This Clayface honestly looks like the TNBA scarecrow

It's kind of cool that they're still using influence from classic Hollywood for this version. Also, I love the callback to The Shadow in his design.

Wow! I had no idea Clayface had such varying iterations! That’s kinda cool so many people wanted to create something interesting for the character

Considering the slasher vibe they are going for, I wouldn’t be surprised if Clayface ends up killing his fellow actors this time and replacing them.

I love the idea of the original Clayface, and playing into classic Hollywood monster movies. It makes sense why the shape shifting version took over as the predominant version of Clayface, but it’s nice to see the original version get some time in the line light.

I'm guessing that this "Clayface" and whole show will be adaptation of his first appearance, where he wasn't shapeshifter, rather he was a killer that he wanted to sabotage film production. Also, his teaser seems more towards it.

I would love for this to be Batman's first supernatural foe. He fights Riddler who's insane but still human. He fights Joker who is insane and extremely dangerous. But now he's up against someone who doesn't make sense. Like that Batman vs Dracula movie where he couldn't overpower Dracula traditionally.

This new batman show seems to be a love letter to the golden age of comics which i love

Like like Perlman's Clayface, it will inevitably be compared to BTAS, an impossible legend to live up to. Just try to enjoy it by its own merits.

I love this design it really reminded me of the killers in Italian giallo film's form the 60s and 70s

I can't wait to see this version of Clayface in action. When I noticed the scarf, I immediately thought of the Shadow , which is a nice nod to the pulp origins of Batman. I also noticed the left eye, which reminded me of the blank eye of Scarecrow from TNDB. I hope Caped Crusader uses more obscure villains from the rogues gallery since nearly every batman cartoon sticks with the classic bat foes. I love to see Ratcatcher, Corrosive man, Mad Monk, KGBeast, Amygdala, Dr Death, and Cornelius Stirk appear in S1 or 2.

Clayface went back to his Golden Age self where he started off as a killer who have a grudge towards actors for stealing the spotlight that he once had. Adding a red bandana to conceal his face makes him look like someone who Jonah Hex could fight with.

I'm curious to see how this new Clayface will reflect this show's version of Batman. In BTAS it was identity struggles, but this probably feels like it will be about whether or not taking on a secret identity brings out the best (Batman) or worst (Clayface) in you. Edit: Actually, having given it some thought, it's more likely about what happens if the character you play takes over your life. Basil always played the monster, and eventually he truly became it. Hopefully Bruce doesn't become the same.

Between Batman The Animated series "Matt Hagen", The Batman's "Ethan Bennett" and The Caped Crusader's "Basil Karlo" sound like the Ultimate "Mud Pack" of Clayfaces in animation! Love the sounds of this rendition!

Alright, I know Basil has always been tied in with horror movies, but it's always nice to still see little nods. The outfit, while very Shadow-esque, could also be an homage to typically black cloaked killers of giallo films. Spoilers: The face (if the leaks are to be believed) looks to be your typical monstrous deformity, but one can perhaps see shades of Erik and Dr. Phibes in it.

He looks like the tough guy from the sponge Bob movie

I have been hoping for something like this prediction. While I'm happy to see Clayface as he appeared originally, it's hard to deny the concept has massively outgrown the simple, crazed killer origins. Not to mention, I'd be worried most people watching won't know anything about the Basil Karlo version beyond the name, and would rage at what they see as a tremendous downgrade from "the original." Something like this suggestion, that take so much influence from Clayface 3 has a real shot at working. Can't wait to see the show and discuss more here on YT!

I'm not too sure that they will be strictly realistic considering that Gentleman Ghost is still supposed to appear in it.

So excited for the new renditions of these characters! Excited to see their versions of The Riddler, The Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Hugo Strange

Not a big fan of the design but since he is my favorite villain i'm interested in learning more about this version of him maybe the co-star could be stella bates i wouldn't mind if they brought her back

The more human style Clayface has been the one I've been suggesting if they ever do him in a movie.

I'm a little sad they're not just having him be a human and are using the serum story. I prefer Clayface being like an evil Lon Cheney, using special effects and theatrics to achieve his goals.

2:15 Freddy Krueger looking guy

Actually he is a traditional clay face since he is the original version of the character.

I still can't unsee Jonah Hex whenever I look at the new Clayface lol.

Honestly, Carlo being gay would actually fit the time period really well. Just as an example; Carry Grant, William Haines, Greta Garbo, Marlon Brando, Anthony Perkins, James Whale, Ceaser Romero, Vincent Price and many more were (and are) some of the most iconic actors and directors of their time…and ALL of them were either gay or bisexual. Heck, Whale was actually one of the VERY FEW openly out gay people in Hollywood at the time. He still got work too! It was also very customary at the time for studios to straight up marry some of their own actors in order to hide their queer identity. I also just realized that this Clay-Face kinda looks like Jonah Hex or Judge Doom.

So that’s Clayface as in the classic version where he is a serial killer instead of the shapeshifting blob and are you going to take the Ethan Bennet version?

Thank you for your by the book information on the comic history bios and great images from the Batman animated series . Batman has the best rogues gallery of all time!

Now that i think about it, his design reminds me alot of Robert Englund's portrayal of the Phantom of the Opera in the 1989 movie

I like the sound of this versions origin as a typecast actor

Saying something so nobody can say first. You're welcome.

From the description, he seems like a mix of Basil Karlo and Preston Payne, while also being inspired by real-life horror actor Rondo Hatton.

Bro, I hope they add other Batman villains like Mad Hatter or Two Face. I like the design of ClayFace though.

Would love to see you cover the clay face from The Bayman show that came out in the naughties. His transformation always messed with my head as a kid

That’s clay face. I’m not gonna lie the way he was dressed. I thought he was scarecrow for a minute.

The look of his face reminds me of Jonah Hex (I think that’s his first name)

I did once make a drawing based on someone's version of clayface that combined the original Basil Karlo clayface appearance with the clayface monster appearance basically a claymonster with a human shape and the same clothes as the original Basil Karlo design

Hope the show has Robin and eventually more of the bay family

I love that they are making another animated series, but Bruce Timm has some questionable works lately, the whole work on BTAS was perfect bcs it was a combination of Tim, Dini and other pretty talented artists ideas, and they were restrained for some stuff, which makes some scenes better (like Robin's parents death) don't know how this would work, I hope it is great

Ngl from the thumbnail I thought it was scarecrow 😆

He look like hex

I have no idea if this is relevant, but this image reminded me of Jonah Hex... I mean, being an actor, it's not even that far fetched he would pergorm as a cowboy, making this quick reference to the character

You know what's funny? If you Google Batman: Caped Crusader, one of the videos that comes up is yours.

it will be cool mix clayface old and modern

I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Preston Payne version of Clayface, I find his ability to shapeshift to be just one of many things that makes him very unique compared to the other rouges but I am still super excited to see him in media again! (Harley Quinn show doesn’t count) I hope either Pearlman reprises his role or heck, we get a fresh new take on him! He’s always been my favorite rouge and possibly DC character as a whole. This is super exciting!

Any excuse to discuss more Clayface eh, Luke? 😉

Hope this clayface similar to Matt Reeves's Riddler

Sorry, but good luck unseeing this: Hey, it's Jonah Hex!😂❤

Wonder if this co-star he fell in love with is another man, almost just like his DCAU iteration? 2:42: Doubt that at most, what with suspected seditionists in places like Fox News and obvious warmongers in RT. I don't mind comparing the new voices with the DCAU iteration's VA Ron Perlman. Now, Deathstroke/Slade Wilson, on the other hand... Am really not fond of current streaming Western animation cartoons having at most 8 to 10 eps. At least anime nowadays that won't get a new season just because can get 13 or 24+ eps. I really wonder if his victims will include a Daggett and a Bennett. For me, there better not be a Joker, or rather, make sure the Joker gets killed off early in the start or at the end of the first season. No resurrections and fake deaths too.

Didn’t know they were doing a new animate series until watching your videos got a video from another channel recommended to me by youtube’s all-knowing algorithm. A video wherein the person behind the channel starts off by saying the show will be terrible because they’re being inclusive. I think I’ll stick with your channel for my Batman info instead of that other one

Is Joker on Caped Crusader and if so, who do you think will voice him

Can you do a review on Mad Stan? People like him seem more prevalent today. 😢

Day 2 of asking a request of you doing Livewire

I don't know what the difference is between this Clayface and Mr. Zsasz.

That’s a MUCH better decision than releasing it on their own failing platform that’s named after a porn channel. As long as there’s actual writing talent involved, and no interference from executives, it’ll be good. All the execs need to care about is the cash flow. If it’s making money, it’s doing its job.

I honestly thought that was Hex

Me like clayface :D

It wishes it for a wider audience.I'm already getting bad feelings

Oh interesting; so instead of being Karlo's "pretty boy who ends up horrifically disfigured", he's more like Payne insofar as taking desperate measures to cure his ugliness... Cool stuff they're drawing from

Amazon Prime? Is HBO Max done already?

"Batman was inspired by the pulps of the time." That's a funny way to pronounce plagiarized.

1:30 "GIMME ALL THE CASH OR I'M GONNA DO SOMETHING REALLY GROSS!"

i dont care how they characterize him just PLEASE keep his ability to copy people's likenesses thats like the most basic element of the character i dont wanna see him just be another purely stabby murder man

Given what I heard about how they're going with Harley Quinn by not having her have any ties to Joker, I seriously have high doubts it'll be good. I'm guessing they're going to have Clayface pretend to be Scarecrow for a one-off

a character's sexuality has little to nothing to do with clayface's character or backstory. don't make it weird.

Yes diversity by changing characters races and sexualities which is lazy diversity and I think it does marginalized groups of disservice because they don't get their own characters they get white and straight hand-me-downs. I feel like it's I as someone with autism wouldn't want them to make Batman autistic I would want a new character with autism but I guess that's just me.

i think this show is gonna be a refresher from all the vertue singaling bullshit we have been fed by american dc movies/shows

I love your videos with how dedicated you are to such a specific niche, that is animated Batman (usually BTAS) and I’m so sad I don’t have the money to support you but I will make sure to spread your videos out because you deserve the recognition. Burger

🪽 "And in a bizarre twist, it was confirmed today that Annie of TNBA will be canon to this show's Clayface. Nobody has bothered to explain how or why they decided to do this. News reporters left the scene mildly baffled."
