Here’s some Clayface back story from the comics
Clayface has been portrayed by several characters in DC Comics, with Basil Karlo and Matt Hagen among the most well-known versions. Basil Karlo was a former Gotham actor whose career collapse fueled his obsession with fame, eventually leading him to become a shapeshifting criminal who could impersonate anyone. Matt Hagen took on another version of Clayface. He was largely depicted as a treasure hunter who gained the ability to transform his body after being exposed to a mysterious substance. Both versions use their shapeshifting abilities to challenge Batman, while also being portrayed as characters struggling with their identities and circumstances.
It looks like Tom will definitely be playing the Matt Hagen version in the 2026 film. EW is reporting it will be rated R.
The film hits theaters on October 23.
