The Penguin The Penguin on HBO - General Discussion

[Gothamsknight]

Just the idea of Clayface alone showing up has me even more excited than I already was.

 

[shauner111]

What if this is more of a origin story for Hagen/Karlo? And we only see Clayface in the second Batman?

 

[Lautox]

Hot take

I'm very curious as to how Reeves would depict Clayface, given the realism of the first film.

• The producers revealed False Face’s real name to be Basil Karlo, who traditionally took the Clayface identity. The reason they chose Karlo as False Face’s identity was because Clayface was originally intended to be the villain of the episode, and would have been able to mold his face into as a disguise due to his powers. The episode was reworked to include False Face.
  • False Face later returned in the Batman '66 comic series, which not only confirmed his identity but transformed his character into Clayface.

maybe they can make clayface to be like raimi's darkman where he was using that face mask tech.

Or something like the killer in Body Double who uses prosthetics as a mask. The killer is also an actor like Basil Karlo. Sorry for spoiling lol.

i just read the wiki for this and it totally has a hitchcock / vertigo influence to it.
and thats right up matt reeves' alley.

Yess, Dressed to Kill was inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho as well.

DePalma owes a lot to Hitchcock. Speaking of DePalma, I saw a lot of Blow Out in The Batman.

Actually it's mostly Rear Window. Obsession (1976) is the Vertigo rip-off.

Planning to watch it this weekend. I've had the film in my shortlist for a while now.

 

[shauner111]

It’s pretty great. Travolta’s best imo and the sound design is somethin else! (yes I said that like Tobey Maguire).

Just do this

 

[jfloden]

The Tarantino idea is really good. How about John Travolta as Clayface?

 

[shauner111]

Travolta for Hugo Strange!

I still love the Rufus Sewell suggestion for Clayface. Maybe Elias Koteas could work for Karlo too.

 

[jfloden]

For some reason Travolta would also weirdly work for Strange. I suppose it's the intensity in his eyes, and how well he pulls off the glasses look.

 

[jfloden]

Also recently seen Rufus in Shyamalan's "Old" where he played a surgeon with schizophrenia. Maybe not a blueprint for Clayface per se, but certainly shows the man still has talent.

 

[WayneMB]

Rob starts shooting Mickey7 in August. odds of him appearing in the Penguin are up.

 

[jfloden]

Really excited to see him in the show!

 

[C Prometheus]

Ralph Ineson will get my vote for Hugo Strange as long as humanly possible.

 

[shauner111]

And he’s my Crane for the Arkham series!

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

Hopefully we will heard something about this show on Wednesday during WBD's upfront presentation.

i think that's a given.

 

[GothamCity]

Think pinguin was the best performance of the whole film, the rest was really bad or boring.
