  1. Curses! Oiled Again!
  2. Dead Ringers

Week 2 (August 9-15): Batman (1992)

Week 4: (August 23-29): Harley Quinn (2019)

  1. So, You Need a Crew?
  2. You’re a D*** Good Cop, Jim Gordon

Each week, tell us below what you thought of the show’s take on this classic villain! Don’t forget to tell us which episode you enjoyed the most from each pairing! Oh, and if you had these powers, how would you use them? (To multitask in animating your own Clayface cartoon, perhaps?) Let us know, @DCAnimatedClub! (And thanks to @Reaganfan78 for letting me fill in this month!)

I do have an idea for next month, and it’s NOT about Harley Quinn. I already did her back in February. :slightly_smiling_face:

This week’s episodes feature Matt Hagen, the second Clayface. To understand his classic Silver Age origin and shape-shifting powers, check out Detective Comics #298. For a modernized version of the story, see Legends of the Dark Knight #89-90.

Don’t forget to share your thoughts on the first week’s episodes. We are now turning our focus to the version of Clayface featured in the 1990s Batman animated series. This character is named after Clayface II (Matt Hagen), but his backstory as a fading star is directly taken from the original Golden Age Clayface (Basil Karlo), and the tragic elements of his transformation are somewhat reminiscent of Clayface III (Preston Payne).

Since this Clayface is an amalgamation of different characters, I would recommend learning about all of them. Luckily, that’s pretty easy thanks to the Mud Pack story arc from 1989:

  1. Secret Origins # 44
  2. Detective Comics # 604
  3. Detective Comics # 605
  4. Detective Comics # 606
  5. Detective Comics # 607

As for the watch-along, the plan is for the same time as last week: Tuesday at 8:30 pm EDT.
