DC Studios reveal the true face of fear in “Clayface” movie’s official teaser
Look fear in the face
DC Studios has gone horror-coded with the latest flurry of their rollout culminating in the teaser trailer for one of Batman’s most tragic villains–Clayface.
Celebrity. Vanity. And just how we take for granted how much our faces really dictate status and socialisation.
Surely to be an extension of the lore succinctly explored by Batman The Animated Series. However there is something to be said about the engrained horror and unsettling images of this teaser. This hopefully won’t be a catfish like Marvel and 20th Century Fox’s The New Mutants.
Description reads:
