Let's make this simple: You want to know if there are any mid- or post-credits scenes in Clayface. The answer is no.
The new movie Clayface marks the live-action film debut of the classic Batman villain but fans are obviously wondering if the film also introduces the DCU’s incarnation of the Caped Crusader. It does not.
We’re gonna dive into how Clayface ends, how the character’s design was created for the film, and yes, the Batman of it all… so read on!
While Batman is never even mentioned here, the movie does feature a scene set at the Wayne Community Centre. But let’s be clear: Batman already exists in Clayface’s Gotham City and in the DCU at large.
Remember, the DCU’s Batman already popped up in animated form for a cameo in Creature Commandos. Matt Hagen’s Clayface also made his animated DCU debut in that show, where he was voiced by Alan Tudyk. (The live-action version of Matt Hagen doesn’t quite jibe with the animated version. Hagen also appeared to have been killed off in Creature Commandos, but DCU Studios co-boss James Gunn later confirmed that Clayface survived.)
Of that version of the Caped Crusader, Gunn already confirmed last year that “this is the DCU Batman,” but the character was kept in silhouette because he was not yet ready to commit to a final costume design. Gunn said the animated cameo was “just a way to introduce that Batman is a part of this universe, he's an important part of this universe, and he has an impact on it.”
And if there was still any doubt after all that, Clayface director James Watkins told me at the film’s press junket, “I would say Batman exists in this world [of Clayface], but it's just not his story. It's Matt Hagen's story. So, it's just like in Joker. It's a city of several million people, and we're telling one person's story within it.”
So we likely won’t see the DCU’s Batman in live-action until Batman: The Brave and the Bold finally makes it to the screen (unless, of course, Gunn sneaks him into next year’s Man of Tomorrow, but that lineup already seems pretty stacked).
