Clayface and it contains a specific Batman reference that's set tongues wagging among comic book fans.

Revealed yesterday (September 24), the movie's latest teaser offers a fresh look at its body horror vibes, slick cinematography, and Matt Hagen's tragic villain origin story. Thankfully, the DC Universe ( DCU ) film's latest round of footage doesn't reveal the titular character's final, grotesque form, meaning audiences will have to check it out in theaters if they want to see Clayface in all of his gruesome, malleable glory.

Even if the Caped Crusader does show up in the DCU Chapter One movie,
Clayface 's cast and crew are doing their best not to give away what would be one of the film's biggest surprises. That said, fans have spotted a very specific Batman Easter egg in Clayface 's final trailer that's sparked new hope that the Gotham City-based vigilante will make an appearance even if it's just as a silhouetted cameo in the James Watkins-directed feature. Why
a musical motif in the new Clayface trailer has excited Batman and DC Comics fans alike Comment from r/DC_Cinematic So, what's this big Batman reference that some DC fans noticed in Clayface 's newest teaser?

Batman fanatics won't need me to explain this Easter egg to them. For those not in the know, though, the brief musical snippet we hear is an exact
replica of Clayface's theme from fan-favorite 1990s TV show Batman: The Animated Series ( B:TAS ), which you can watch right now on HBO Max . Now, this doesn't give any indication that the Dark Knight will have a walk-on
part in DC Studios' next big-screen offering. After all, despite reports that studio co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran have cast an unlikely star as the DCU's Batman , the pair have consistently denied that anyone has been hired
to play Bruce Wayne and his superhero alter-ego in their nascent cinematic franchise.

Nevertheless, the use of Clayface's theme from B:TAS has captured some fans' imagination and with good reason. Clayface 's story is heavily inspired by 'Feat of Clay', a two-part tale from B:TAS that's viewed as some of the best storytelling in the beloved cartoon's four-season run.

If nothing else, fans are excited about this musical nugget because, if Clayface is half as good as 'Feat of Clay' is, it could be the best DCU movie so far. Throw a Batman cameo into the mix, though, and it'll generate even more headlines than many of us expected when it's released on October 23.
