Clayface written by Mike Flanagan

I don’t know the actor, but love a curveball. He wasn’t even on the shortlist.

DCU casting hasn’t let me down yet

Depending on how closely this is following the BTAS episodes, I’ll be curious who they go after for Roland Daggett.

He probably was, but it's better clickbait to use the most famous names.

Ben Mendelsohn!

Except he’ll be named John so it’s more realistic.

I'm still hoping we'll see Batman in this as a supporting character / antagonist. Honestly, frame it like Batman '89 or Returns where Joker or Penguin are more-or-less the main characters of those stories.

And Feat of Clay provides a perfect actual villain for Hagen to go after in the form of Daggett (though that name can be swapped out for any other DCU character, like Simon Stagg or Maxwell Lord). Even though Clayface is the bad guy, his story is sympathetic and we'd root for him to 'defeat' Daggett, even if Batman is chasing after him.

Plus a Batman vs. Clayface movie is always a good way to instantly distance oneself from the gritty Reevesverse. Plus, we get a new DCU Batman without having to call it a Batman movie.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is mostly set in Los Angeles.

If this was to be a Joker-style Elseworlds film, then maybe. But since this is in the DCU, that news would be pretty disappointing. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce a revamped Batman / Gotham in the DCU without having to greenlight a Batman flick to compete against The Batman II.

We're finally getting all of this fleshed-out / world building in Superman w/ the greater DCU. It would seem regressive for Clayface to be an LA story far removed from Gotham.

Depends of whether or not Gunn wants to wait until Brave And The Bold to introduce Gotham. He might not want to commit to a look for Gotham that early.

Or Clayface was such a good pitch from Flanagan, and Gunn has already realized introducing Batman this way makes more sense, instead of the previously announced Brave and the Bold film-- even if he still plans to introduce Damien Wayne as our primary, present-day Robin (lookin at you, Teen Titans movie).
