The Batman looking surprised with comic Joker and Riddler behind him
Matt Reeves' comments about The Batman - Part II make the theories about one major DC villain look far less likely to come to fruition in its story. The Batman cemented the franchise's place in DC history by providing a stellar look at the Dark Knight that took the gritty tone audiences have seen in many Batman adaptations and adding its own distinct spin to it, with the world itself and Robert Pattinson's performance as the iconic DC hero being much praised.
This - combined with the assurance that The Batman - Part II will "dig into the epic story about deeper corruption" makes the prospect of seeing the focal villain be Clayface seem something of a dire one. Though there are approaches that could craft a more grounded Clayface, it's hard to see how these could blend into a plot about deeper corruption in Gotham as effectively as other figures could.
As it stands, though, this also requires removing or altering a lot of the most interesting qualities of the Clayface villain mantle. With this in mind, the main DC Universe timeline may be a better place for the next live-action depiction of this specific villain, especially since it could use the wealth of lore surrounding the title - and the many figures who have been Clayface throughout the years - in a more detailed and likely less grounded capacity.
