What The Clayface Movie Art Means For The DC Universe Movie
The art and fan designs for theClayfacemovie that have already been created show that there is early interest in the Batman villain, as he has never had a chance to shine in live-action. AstheClayfacemovie’s developmentis still keeping story details under wraps, DC Studios is clearly building anticipation with the audience for the Batman spinoff film. However, it is also a fact that Clayface is one of Batman’s most unique villains, as he is very much a horror antagonist for the Caped Crusader.
With something as visually terrifying as Clayface,it is going to be exciting to see how they visually bring him to life, since this is not just a mud monster they are dealing with, but a DC antagonist who is able to shape-shift into anyone. Depending on which VFX company and concept they run with,the DCU’sClayfacemoviehas the opportunity to stand out in the realm of comic book villain movies, which have been a hit or miss in Hollywood to this point.
Our Take On The Clayface Movie Art
TheClayfacemovie poster art demonstrates that this DC villain could become one of the biggest horror films of all time, if DC Studios tackles this correctly. What remains to be seen is whether or not Tudyk will voice Clayface while someone else plays the character’s original form before gaining his powers, given that theCreature Commandosstar has already had his likeness used for Alexander Sartorius prior to becoming Doctor Phosphorus. Hopefully, more news aboutClayfacewill start to emerge in the coming months as theDCUfilm gets ready for principal photography.
DC Universe
The DC Universe is one of the biggest comic book franchises and often competes with Marvel. DC Comics started as National Allied Publications, founded by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson in 1935. Since then, the franchise has exploded with thousands of comic books, movies, TV shows, and video games. 2013 marked the beginning of the most recent iteration of the superheroes, with Zack Snyder introducing Henry Cavill as Superman. After several movies with mixed reviews, DC underwent a soft reboot under the helm of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
