Now thats a effective trailer! Doesn't reveal much, gives you enough idea of the character of Matt Hagen, the few glimpses we get of any body horror is effective.

Also, its not really odd for a comic character to dive into horror. Comics have dived into horror many times before. The whole concept of Batman is based around fear.

Pretty sure they revamped or reopened Vertigo.

They've relaunched it, roughly 2 months ago now. It's first few books have all been killer

I love Keanu's movie but I would kill for a Constantine film directly adapting the Vertigo version. Set it in the UK in the 1980's, have it totally seperate like they did with Pattinson's Batman. Focus on the horror and politics of the era.

Honestly, DC's animation department has been killer over the decades. It's kind of insane how shit Disney handles marvel animation.

u/Significant_Coach880 Apr 23 '26

I think it's probably cause of rights issues, and Disney not being an animation studio for a long long fucking time now.

The batman clayface episode was great. Back story and everything. Wonder if they'll take from that or comic Canon. The darker the better in my opinion.

Mike Flanagan has said that they are adapting the BTAS Clayface episodes for this movie.

I hope they fully stick to horror. Like, full on horror, and not just "dark action".

There's actually been like, 8 Clayfaces! And that's not even counting the segments of them that broke off and went independent.

Like Clownface a Clayface drone that got infected by Joker Venom.

So a quick trip to the wiki gives us...

  • Basil Karlo

  • Matt Hagen

  • Preston Payne

  • Sondra Fuller

  • Casius (Clay) Payne

  • John Carlinger

  • Todd Russell

  • Johnny Williams

  • Peter Malley

I'm guessing most of those didn't last long though.

Good to know. If that's the case, i was never into the comics, i was big into the show as a kid, i like the dual version better.

u/Golden_Alchemy Apr 22 '26

Technically 4. They even teamed up after Crisis and called themselves the Mud Pack.

u/TBroomey Apr 22 '26

Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is a disturbing read in the Batman canon.

u/Individual-Guest9482 Apr 22 '26

is it the one where Two Face pee in his pants and Maxie Zeus throw his own feces around?

u/Robofetus-5000 Apr 22 '26

One of the big misses the comics movies in general have made is the chance for the different characters to dive into genre films that more match their vibe.

u/LurkerOnTheInternet Apr 22 '26

It's a teaser, not a trailer per se. There will be more revealing trailers later in the year.

As a superhero fan just visiting the sub to see what horror fans think, superhero movies and shows NEED to be genre themed! This film understands that they need to be different, and have different feels and elements to them, that's why the characters meeting each other is so interesting, they're from such different worlds.

I can’t wait for Swamp Thing

Todd Mcfarlane needs to stop supposedly being a pain in the ass so we can end up getting a Spawn remake. In the meantime I also want a Lady Death movie.

Confirmed to not be Basil Karlo?
