Clayface Movie Reveals The DCU’s First Joker Reference & Teases Iconic Batman Villain’s Origin

Photographs from the set of ‘Clayface’ provide the initial glimpse of Tom Rhys Harries portraying Matt Hagen, who transforms into the main character. Significantly, these images appear to verify that the movie is adhering to the character’s well-known comic book origin. In the original storyline, Hagen was a renowned actor whose career took a downward turn following a ghastly accident. Desperate for a solution, he encounters strange chemicals that temporarily restore his appearance while also granting him harmful shape-shifting powers. Photos of a man wrapped in bandages departing from a hospital, possibly Harries, hint at the movie presenting this exact accident and its immediate aftermath. This development is not entirely unexpected, as the ‘Clayface’ script is inspired by ‘Batman: The Animated Series’, which mirrored a similar narrative structure.
