No need to bet. Gunn has already confirmed it's DCU.I bet this will be the DCU Clayface even though Reeves is producing the movie.
Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Maybe there is some smoke about the Batman rumors after all. I don’t think Pattinson is coming to the DCU but I think Reeves might be. That will be interesting to say the least.No need to bet. Gunn has already confirmed it's DCU.
I mean Reeves is producing multiple Batman projects. Caped Crusader, Dynamic duo and this along with the elseworlds Crime saga hes doing with Pattinson. Considering how slow he is though i dunno if he would be directing/writing for DCU as well though.Maybe there is some smoke about the Batman rumors after all.

Reeves is slow and seems to be getting slower. Something is cooking at the DCU headquarters. In my opinion. It just seems that Gunn and Reeves are working on something big.

Do you think they're going to cast the DCU Batman for this movie?

Here we go...Sounds like a random choice for a theaterical movie to me.
Sure, but DC houses characters like Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Justice League and the Flash to name a few, and this is one of the earliest projects coming from DC Studios... its definitely coming across as random, and I'm not sure if there's a real strategy for this franchise to keep the general public interested in the long run.Bout as “random” as most mid-budget horror films.

It took me several seconds to remember what CC is.... Ideally, if they are rebooting a film franchise from scratch, they would greenlit projects that would surely attract the masses, so this franchise would have a longevity that would last longer than DCEU.Hm. You could say the same about the first few projects being CC, Superman and Peacemaker yet they're all gonna connect and already are connecting, so idk if random is the right word. (CC spoilers) Even CC has an episode referencing Sgt. Rock as a real piece of history in the DCU. Everybody thought Guadagnino being attached was "random", but turns out, not so much.
But I have no clue how they'll keep the general public's interest. That's not my job. Make unique and good looking projects and maybe they'll gain the interest of the public the old-fashioned way.
I dunno if it'll work out but shooting your shot by doing the classic low risk high reward budget horror movie strategy with your superhero IP is a smart experiment to run.

This.Yep. I've been advocating this for a while.
And Gunn has made clear that this is not the MCU where everything is building up to a team up film. These are distinct stories with distinct tones that share some characters and story points.
This.
I talked about this in another thread, I also believe it's a mistake to think that this new “shared universe” automatically means a cycle of movies all leading up to the big event movie five or six years later and so on. There'll be a bit of that, I strongly suspect it's actually Gunn's own project within this whole DCU with direct links between CC, Peacemaker, Waller, Superman and Supergirl and who knows what's beyond.
But the rest will essentially be standalones, like Swamp Thing and Clayface, that won't necessarily have direct links to each other, but won't contradict them either. Just as, ultimately, 2005's Constantine could have been set in a different corner of the world from Batman Begins. If one day, someone wants to cross paths with these characters, it's up to them to make the artistic concessions, but in the meantime, everyone's free.
In a perfect scenario, DC Studios could become an equivalent of A24, but with licenses derived from comics. A studio offering “unusual” projects, with distinct and affirmed visions.
It's the best way to stand out from the competition and overcome possible genre fatigue, as well as being, and this is for me the most important, the most noble and sincere way of approaching an adaptation.
doubtful...Deadline says Clayface also is a prominent character in Matt Reeves’ The Batman 2.
I think with REEVES mature (David Fincher) aesthetic this would be a mistake. Also, there doesn't seem to be any room for fantastical villains in REEVES vision which was already made clear to be Else worlds or Earth 2 material. Brave and the Bold will and should be separate from REEVES.^ This.
And if Reeves has indeed decided to merge his universe with the DCU as people seem to be hinting, this would be the reason why.
He and Gunn can share versions of the same character without having to constantly sacrifice portions of their movies to set up something they have no involvement in.
In that way, a low budget Clayface movie releasing before Batman II featuring Clayface could actually make sense.
