Clayface: One Bad Day

from Bros Foes and Heroes

The Clayface movie is coming and we've got you covered with everything you need to know.This week we're digging into the vault. Zach and Mike break down the full history of Clayface, all the versions, all the clay. Then dive straight into Clayface: One Bad Day, the 2023 DC one-shot that might just be the blueprint for what the movie does with this character.First: how do you go from Basil Karlo, a horror movie actor driven to murder by a remake of his greatest film, to Matt Hagan, to Preston Payne, to the shapeshifting monster we know today? Zach walks Mike through the whole muddy lineage. Mike's prior Clayface knowledge: a talking blob from a kids' show called Gigglesnort Hotel. We start there.Then: Clayface One Bad Day. A struggling Hollywood actor named Clay Pots lands his dream role and loses himself completely in the process. What follows is one of the darkest, most quietly tragic Clayface stories ever told. He suffocates a man, steals his face, walks onto a movie set, and spends the entire issue auditioning for a role he's already taken. The ending, with ten figures watching him deliver his monologue one final time, hits harder than it has any right to.Also in this episode:- The full Clayface family tree — Basil, Matt, Preston, Sondra, Cassius, and more- The Killing Joke connection hidden in the One Bad Day one-shot- Whether the Batman: Killing Joke animated movie deserved the extra 45 minutes (it did not)- Zach getting accused of being a porch pirate while retrieving his own DoorDash orderCheck out Feat of Clay.
