DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran has confirmed Batman exists in the DCU during Clayface but does not appear in the R-rated film, which serves as the live-action introduction to Gotham City.
01Summary
- 01Safran confirmed Batman is operating elsewhere during Clayface, with no plans for the character to appear on screen.
- 02The film takes place before Creature Commandos, featuring Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen's Clayface.
- 03A silhouette of Batman appeared in Creature Commandos season 1, hinting at his presence in the DCU.
- 04Lead actor Tom Rhys Harries hinted Clayface may include footage alluding to Batman, such as archival silhouettes.
02Why it matters
This matters because Clayface marks the first live-action step into the DCU's Gotham, setting the stage for future Batman stories like The Brave and the Bold, and confirming Bruce Wayne's existence without requiring an actor to be cast yet.
