12 Monstrous DC Villains We Want To See In The DCU's Gods And Monsters Chapter

Although Batman has plenty of maniacs and monsters in his rogues' gallery, none are as grotesque or genuinely scary as Clayface. After once-prominent actor Basil Karlo sees that his most popular horror movie is being remade without him, he takes on the persona of the film's titular killer, Clayface, and goes on a bloody killing spree. In his original incarnation, Clayface is just a masked serial killer. But now, most modern depictions of the character see him as something much more monstrous. When Karlo falls into a vat of toxic clay, he becomes this hulking monstrosity made of clay that's tough to look at and features unique powers. 

Not only can Clayface manipulate his appendages to become dangerous weapons, but he can also transform his body to appear as someone else. As Clayface, Karlo becomes the chameleon actor he's always wanted to be, but it comes at a horrifying price. The character has become much more popular over the years being seen in the "Batman: Arkham" games and the animated series "Harley Quinn," where he's voiced by Alan Tudyk and is absolutely hilarious. A live-action version of Clayface could bring an equal amount of body horror and mystery to his story and is a fitting foe for Batman and Robin to take on together. Clayface perfectly fits the "Monsters" bill and could be one of the DCU's deadliest foes if done right.
