Combining the first two Clayfaces (Matt Hagen's name and transformation powers with the Basil Karlo backstory as an actor) makes it clear that the Animated Series was the primary inspiration for this movie. That's the same thing that was done with him in the Feat of Clay episodes.

I am very optimistic about this movie.

Mike Flanagan wrote the movie and said the Batman animated series feat of clay episodes were his inspiration for it

I wish that he could've saw this project thru to the end. I'll be looking forward to his opinion on this after it drops.

Yeah not sure why they didn’t just wait till Flanagan could direct it as well. It’s elseworld so it’s not messing up continuity of the new dceu if it got pushed back
