The Dark Knight Rises Would Clayface ever show up in a live action movie?

[Bat-Mite]

Oh please, Chandell is the villain to use:

But alas, only Liberace could do him justice, and he is no longer with us.

 

[The Guard]

I'm not sure if this has been said already but they do Clayface it would Clayface 1 Basil Karlo from the comics, an actor and master of disguises. No special powers only highly trained skills in make-up. Think Ethan Hunt type

Exactly. Combine that with Matt Hagen's acting abilities.

 

[Zack Snyder]

Exactly. Combine that with Matt Hagen's acting abilities.

That would be cool as a villain. It's just with Clayface's potential as a larger than life villain it would seem kinda wasted if he doesn't get his mutated powers.

It's stories like that which make me hate the internet sometimes.

 

[Gianakin_]

Jesus H. Caviezel...

 

[ModestMr.Green]

'SAY IT!'

'Clayface...Basil Clayface...'

 

[The Guard]

I don't really feel that a rumor of Julie Madison justifies a rumor that Clayface will be in this movie. Seems like really jumping to conclusions.

Clayface as master of disguise would be cool, but once again, Joker kind of used some of that for his arsenal, albeit not in the same exact way.

He disguised himself to infiltrate his own gang in the bank robbery, played dead to infiltrate Gambol's hideout, disguised himself as the cop to assassinate the Mayor & dressed as a nurse to infiltrate the hospital.

Now granted, when most people think of a Nolan Clayface, they're probably thinking of prosthetic faces or something like that, but I just don't know how that would play out. I don't think Nolan would portray it as clean as Eames in Inception (which was a dream illusion anyway) and certainly not like the G.I. Joe movie where Zartan could embody someone all the way down to their physical build and weight.

Oh for crying out loud . Whose not rumored to be the bad guy ?

they could use Clayface like Decoy octopus in Metal Gear Solid for PS1...

a master of disguise thats plays into a major plot twist (IE. characters you have seen throughout the film were actually being played by clayface...who of course is working for someone like Hugo strange)

 

[Street Vendor]

I actually would love to see Clayface in a Batman movie. Either Basil Karlo or Preston Payne would be great(though I know Nolan would never go the Payne route).

 

[The Guard]

What would be cool is a hybrid. Matthew Hagen, who is a fan of Basil Karlo, and who has Basil's talent for face changing, with something inside him that causes him, a la Preston Payne, to experience horrible pain until he kills someone.

 

[Sith Scotti]

I refuse to believe Clayface is in the film

 

[ScarecrowMan666]

I refuse to believe Clayface is in the film

and I refuse to believe anything I'm hearing at this point...THESE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT! nobody does right now. It's all speculation. Until Nolan or Goyer or both tell us who's going to be in the movie, you really can't believe any other source.

Clayface is one of those characters I wish I could see in a live action film.

He is quite the package:

- Tragic as hell - so you've got the audience already feeling for him (if they want to).
- Does the "I can be anyone" thing - Presents a challenge for Batman's detective skills, not to mention what this aspect could mean if he is hired out to frame Batman, causing more trouble.
- Usually depicted as a desperate man, so he could probably be pushed to do some pretty inventive crimes.
- Poses a very physical threat against Batman - you got yourself a villain that can handle himself against Batman AND pose an intellectual challenge at the same time. Not only how do you find/track him down, but how do you beat Clayface in a physical fight. There's been some cool scenarios done in the comics and The Animated Series (both TAS and The Batman).

I think he'd be fun to write for. I don't mind him at all.

 

[The Guard]

I love Clayface, but I'm fairly certain he would come across as a Sandman ripoff if his supernatural comic book version was used anytime soon.

 

[MechaOrga]

clayface as a master of disguise and also a character we never see his real face would be kinda cool...(decoy octopus in MG:S)

never show him changing into the characters either. Make him almost elemental like the joker was in TDK (giant drums of gas on ferry? BOOYAH!!its there!)

wouldn't break Nolan's "rules" and also keeps the characters useful and mysterious...

That thought hasn't escaped me. I agree and it's a shame, really.

See, that's not bad thinking. That would be pretty cool.

Although I think I would probably miss seeing that large mass of clay goo that he appears as naturally. I guess you can't have everything haha
