Clayface was Batman’s Friend and Gotham’s Enemy | The Batman
2,235What if Batman’s best friend became his most tragic enemy? The Batman introduced a unique take on Clayface with Ethan Bennett—a Gotham City detective, Bruce Wayne’s closest pal, and a man whose life was casually shattered by the Joker.
In this video, I’ll talk about Bennett’s transformation into Clayface, make some comparisons to Batman the Animated Series’ Clayface, and argue how his story reflects the evolution of The Batman itself.

Let’s discuss this layered character.
