Tom Rhys Harries is DC Studios’ Clayface

Clayface

One of the more intriguing movies being worked on by DC Studios is Clayface, a movie based on the tragic Batman villain. Toms Rhys Harries has been cast in the main role. Toms Rhys Harries is a relatively fresh face with a mix of film and television.

The film will be directed by James Watkins, who most recently directed Speak No Evil and looks to have dipped his toes a lot in the horror genre.

There’s been numerous takes on Clayface but the character debuted in Detective Comics #40 in June 1940 and was originally created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. The character generally is a moderately successful actor and the most well know depiction has him suffering a physical change where his body can morph like it was made out of clay who initially takes revenge against those in the movie industry before turning to a broader life of crime.

Sideshow launches the Batgirl Premium Format Figure

Posted on by

The heroic Batgirl takes on the shapeshifting Clayface in Sideshow’s new Premium Format Figure. A must-have for DC fans, the stunning Batgirl Premium Format Figure by Sideshow is a fully sculpted piece depicting a victorious Batgirl standing atop an electrified Clayface. 

Dressed in a highly detailed, black and gold armored suit with utility belt, cape, and thigh holster, Batgirl also sports her signature red hair and smokey eye makeup. This dramatic piece alludes to the epic battle that has transpired, showing Batgirl patched up with disheveled bandages and brandishing a clay-covered crowbar. Clayface cries out in anguish and shifts through guises while being shocked by electric Batarangs, revealing hidden portraits of Batman™, Nightwing™, and Commissioner Gordon. Luminous paint brings a mesmerizing, electrified effect throughout the piece, while light-up features in Clayface’s eyes, mouth, and Batarang wounds create an immersive display.

Add a little voltage to your DC collection with the shockingly brilliant Batgirl Premium Format Figure. Available to pre-order.

Batman: One Bad Day – Clayface is a tragic story of quicksand

Posted on by
Batman: One Bad Day - Clayface

Clayface has always been an interesting character to me. My first real introduction to the character was through Batman: The Animated Series where he was portrayed as a down on his luck actor turned villain. That wanting to be an actor is an aspect of the character that always stands out to me. Batman: One Bad Day – Clayface focuses on that aspect as Basil Karlo trades Gotham for Los Angeles to pursue his dream for it to turn into a nightmare.

Written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, there’s something rather sad and tragic about Batman: One Bad Day – Clayface. I myself have a lot of talented friends, some who have goals and dreams to be actors or singers. Many working their asses off to still achieve that. But the reality is, no matter talent and ability, some times things don’t work out. There’s also the aspect of tripping over yourself, being too dug into your vision of how things should go.

Here Basil has forged a new identity and still pursuing that dream and he’s close. But, others succeed instead drawing out the anger and jealousy that feels like a driver for the character. Kelly and Lanzing plays the story off the concept of an person who is so dug in and sure of himself but also everyone at the same time. He’s both focused inward and vampiric sucking from others. That’s the oddity of Basil, as Clayface, he could be the greatest actor but is just too stubborn and thinks he’s right when he just might not be.

The art by Xermánico is fantastic. With color by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and lettering by Tom Napolitano, the team balances the brightness and dreams of LA with a tinge of horror. Clayface’s actions are frightening, violent, and shows the monster literally exploding at times. That’s matched by the glitz and brightness of the city around him. The lettering also balances that human vs. monster aspect quite well with it all coming together for visuals that help play off of the story’s underlying themes and concepts. They work with and enhance the narrative, a solid match of script and art.

Kelly and Lanzing deliver a story of clay turning to quicksand as Karlo’s actions spiral out of control. They present a person who could have found a happy life, at least one that was acceptable, but due to an inability of getting out of one’s own way, it’s another tale of tragedy.!
