Clayface, who's bruited to be the villain of Matt Reeves's The Batman- Part II, can break a long- running trend of Batman movie villains.

Exactly how that story will unfold in The Batman Part II remains to be seen, but the movie's villain is bruited to be Clayface. Given that Clayface is basically a man made of slush, he is a rather surprising villain to follow the Riddler and the predicated, gritty style established by The Batman. still, that does not inescapably mean he is a less charming choice than all the other villain campaigners.
Batman Movies Rely On The Same Villains - But Clayface Can Change That
A major benefit that Clayface offers the DC Universe is the fact his presence in The Batman- Part II would expand the Batman movie villain canon beyond its usual luminaries. While Batman has one of the most extensive mischief's galleries of any superhero, the villains of Batman pictures tend to be harmonious and are frequently repeated, with different performances of the Joker in particular being associated with nearly every big- screen Batman. The Batman itself made its own tease of the Joker, with the Riddler and the Penguin also being repeat Batman movie villains. In potentially being the villain of The Batman- Part II, Clayface would disrupt this trend.
In noway having been in a Batman movie before, Clayface gates into Batman's mischief's gallery in a way that has infrequently been done ahead. Indeed former Batman movie villains who haven't made multiple appearances, similar as Bane Ivy( Uma Thurman) andMr. Freeze( Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Batman & Robin, were still among Batman's more extensively honored foes. The Batman- Part II using Clayface as its antagonist would open the door for other secondary Batman villains like Man- Bat, the Ventriloquist, Citation Tiger, and others to eventually make their cinematic debuts in the DC Universe's future.
Why Clayface Would Be Great For The Batman 2 (& How He Might Fit Its Story)
It's worth noting that since there have been multiple performances of Clayface in the comics, The Batman- Part II has a substantial quantum of freedom in its approach to the character's depiction and will not be held down by one particular interpretation of the villain. Also, likeMr. Freeze, Clayface represents a chance to push the boundaries of Reeves' Batman movie macrocosm in terms of how far he can incorporate sci- fi rudiments and characters within the tone put forth by The Batman.
As for how he would work, the movie's take on Clayface could be the result of a laboratory trial gone amiss. Alternately, the flood tide that left Gotham under 30 bases of water could be what triggers Clayface's metamorphosis, incorporating his body with slush, therefore leading into The Batman effect's story. In any case, Clayface's is malleable enough in his character history that a revamping of his origin in The Batman- Part II is impeccably realizable. The topmost benefit of all, still, comes in allowing a new villain from the Caped Crusader's comics to eventually shine on cinema defenses in The Batman- Part II.
