Several of Batman’s greatest villains have gotten their own comic runs, detailing their personal struggles and examining their psychologies as they adapt to a changing world. To name a few, the Joker, the Penguin, and Poison Ivy, all have an ongoing series that adds more depth to each of them. However, one member of Batman’s rogues gallery also deserves some time in the spotlight, an even more appropriate metaphor when one remembers his origin story: Clayface.While he has never been a true menace to Batman or Gotham City on the same scale as the aforementioned villains, Clayface himself is rife with more personal demons that would make a comic examining his struggle to remain human and come to terms with his past sins all the more enticing. Recent years have made him much more sympathetic, but there hasn’t been a true resolution to this character growth since DC’s Rebirth era. Now would be the perfect time to examine which side of him would win out in the end — Basil Karlo or Clayface.As any fan of DC will note, characters often go through changes to their origin stories. Sometimes this does them a disservice, as it takes away nuance from a character to make them more evil. In Clayface’s case, his current origin transforms him into a tragic figure whose life spiraled out of control due to a series of bad choices. This in turn forms the foundation for how he might find redemption.RELATED: Gotham War Brought Back One Of Batman’s Most Underrated Villains
