If you’ve not seen Clayface yet, be warned… this article reveals the final form of the Batman villain from the movie’s final moments.
Prosthetic artist Kristyan Mallett has revealed the final form of Matt Hagen’s monstrous transformation in a new post on Instagram and man, you can really see the Batman: The Animated Series influence on this!
“Last year we were hired to make prosthetic blood effects, fake dummies, props and vfx lighting models for the recent Clayface movie,” Mallet writes, “I will post more Clayface items over the coming weeks in-between current jobs when I get time to get through some images etc. but for now this post shows the Clayface vfx lighting creature costume we were asked to build. This was to help for framing and shadows and for vfx to animate over.

“We had around two weeks from getting a scan of Creature performer @spencerwilding to turn this around. We had to sculpt all parts seperate and fabricate them to fit. Didn’t have time to core the suit out in the mould so cut out excess foam from the inside to create cavities for Spencer to be able to move around comfortably. All hands were on deck for this one.”
Check out the awesome design:
I love this design and I can’t wait to see where Hagen/Clayface pops up in the DCU next.
DC Studios’ “Clayface” is a horror thriller from director James Watkins, starring Tom Rhys Harries in the title role of the cult favorite villain from Gotham’s rogues gallery.
Matt Hagen’s meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.
The film also stars Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan, as well as Nancy Carroll and Joshua James.
James Watkins directs from a screenplay by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, story by Flanagan, based on characters from DC. The film is produced by Matt Reeves, Lynn Harris, James Gunn and Peter Safran, with Michael E. Uslan, Chantal Nong Vo, Lars P. Winther, Paul Ritchie, Rafi Crohn and Trevor Macy executive producing.
Watkins’ creative team includes director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer James Price, editor Jon Harris and costume designer Keith Madden. Music is by Volker Bertelmann.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
