Clayface a rising actor whose face is horribly disfigured by a gangster. In an effort to salvage his good looks, he seeks help from a scientist who transforms his body into clay. DC<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t need to release another trailer after this one, the tone, horror, and mood has already caught my full intrigue,\u201d wrote another viewer.<\/p>\n
Another commenter praised DC for \u201cfinally showcasing a Batman villain that isn\u2019t the Joker.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clayface\u00a0is one of several films on DC Studios\u2019 upcoming slate, wedged between\u00a0Supergirl, set for release in June, and Superman follow-up\u00a0Man of Tomorrow,\u00a0scheduled for release in July next year.<\/p>\n

DC releases have had mixed fortunes of late: Last year\u2019s\u00a0Superman\u00a0reboot was a hit at the box office, raking in more than $600 million globally, while 2024\u2019s critically panned\u00a0Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux\u00a0was a box-office flop, barely making back its $200 million budget.<\/p>\n
One DC Film that\u2019s still not seeing the light of day: 2022\u2019s\u00a0Batgirl,\u00a0which was one of three films shelved by parent company Warner Bros in favour of a substantial tax write-off.<\/p>\n
Batgirl\u00a0had been finished and had even had some test screenings when the decision was made to block its release. <\/p>\n
DC<\/p>\n
That decision has DC fans smarting all over again this week, as the first trailer drops for another of the three films Warner Bros axed.<\/p>\n
The Looney Tunes caper\u00a0Coyote vs. Acme\u00a0will\u00a0finally hit cinemas in September, more than three years after its original scheduled release, after Warner Bros allowed filmmakers to seek distribution from other outlets.<\/p>\n
The other two finished films Warner Bros had canned,\u00a0Batgirl\u00a0and a\u00a0Scooby Doo\u00a0animated movie, were not given the same reprieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DC Studios has this week dropped the teaser trailer for its first-ever entry into the horror-thriller genre, Clayface.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[39189,39937,146,85,46,397,13875],"class_list":["post-408904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-action-movies","tag-dc-comics","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies","tag-superheroes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
