This also comes as part of a report noting that filmmaker Mike Flanagan has pitched a story to Warner Bros featuring Clayface as the main character. He proceeds to kill the other actors involved with the original movie, 'Dread Castle,' before going after the actor who took over the Clayface role after him.

The original version, known as Basil “Baz” Karlo, is a B-list actor who once portrayed a villain named Clayface and hears of a movie being remade that he once starred in.

This allows him to manipulate his physical features anytime he wants, although he needs to return to the protoplasm source in order to recharge and continue using his abilities. There are two notable versions of Clayface from the comics, the first of whom is Matthew Hagen, a treasure hunter that interacts with a radioactive pool of protoplasm and turns into a clay-like substance. While no actor has been cast yet, he'll become the latest villain in the sequel to Matt Reeves' The Batman alongside the Riddler and the Penguin. New Villain Coming in The Batman 2ĭeadline reported that the DC villain Clayface will play a big role in Matt Reeves' The Batman - Part II, which is set to arrive in theaters in late 2025.

With over two and a half years until the sequel hits the big screen, Warner Bros. It's all a shame, becuase I adored the Lego Movie perhaps that film set the bar too high.A new report centered on The Batman - Part II revealed a new villain that Robert Pattinson's Batman will have to face in the DCU. We watched it at one sitting, and when it was over I wished I could get that time back, a feeling I did not have even with some other iffy child's fare. Ditto the bad guys (Riddler, Penguin), who for a child must seem completely baffling. Additionally, the characters are introduced thick and fast and if you aren't older and have some point of reference (into Catwoman, Green Lantern, etc.), then it is just a big confusing mob. I should say, though, that there is one brilliant idea in the film when Batman and Superman fool the Joker and Lex Luthor, but I won't spoil it. My son even thought it was a little too "real" and not like as much like Lego (some backgrounds reject the everything-is-made-of-Lego conceit completely).

Expect a relentless series of action sequences and gadgets punctuated by hijinks of a strangely-postured Joker (it seems they felt the characters in Lego were too stiff now the characters torsos twist and undulate like they're full of Jello). The best word I can think of is "joyless," because it's rarely funny or, really, fun. It's a good movie - and your little Batman fan will enjoy it! It's myriad of sets, including super hero-themed toys, are doing fine on their own. Lego doesn't need this movie to help sell toys. Truth be told, both the game and movie are phenomenal, fun and safe ways for younger kids to enjoy the Batman mythos. In fact, the same production company produced both the movie and games, using the same voice actors and models. If you're a gamer, you'll no doubt notice this movie shares the same animation and many of the scenes of Lego Batman 2 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

The Lego sets featuring Batman and the other DC Comics properties existed before this movie was released, and to Lego's credit - they have not tried to release "Lego Batman Movie" themed sets to cash-in on the film. But that's not the objective of this movie. Of course, I'm sure the movie helped Lego sell a handful more sets. The characters are recreated faithfully, the story is in line with many of the movies, and it has jokes that would appeal to grown-ups and kids.Ĭommon Sense Media's review argues it's hard to ignore the movie's toy connections - that it plays like a big toy ad. The animation is top notch - not Pixar quality, but great for the genre. It's very clearly made for a younger crowd - the kids who can't watch the full-length feature films because they're too scary, dark or violent. The movie is equal parts silly and action-packed, giving younger fans a taste of the fun of Gotham City. Lego Batman: The Movie is a great time for any fans of Lego and Batman.
