Clayface Isn't a Monster, He's Something Worse | Batman: the Animated Series, Feat of Clay Part 2

We continue our Batman: The Animated Series reaction with “Feat of Clay: Part II”, as Matt Hagen fully becomes the Clayface. Aaron reacts to the incredible animation, Ron Perlman’s Clayface performance and the psychological tragedy underneath the monster. With the upcoming DCU Clayface movie drawing attention back to this classic story, Part II shows why Clayface has the potential to be far more than a giant mud monster. He is a character built around identity, addiction, obsession, autonomy and the danger of defining yourself by external success.
