The interesting thing about the Batman Rogues’ Gallery villain Clayface, is that there is an abundance of TV material – in both animated and live-action series - to draw upon for the cinematic debut of this iconic character. Screenwriter, Mike Flanagan clearly decided to mould his own character, and for the most part, it works.

Sadly, the script for Mike Flanagan’s original story had to be re-written by Hossein Amini when Flanagan left the project in May, 2025. He is reported to have said that he hoped that it would hold true to the spirit of what he wanted it to be.
