Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Bruce Wayne is released from prison on bail. Hagen, as it turns out, survived the murder attempt on him, but at a high cost: the formula entered his body and soaked every single one of his cells, turning him into a shape shifting mutant. With his newfound powers, Hagen, now calling himself Clayface, decides to take his revenge on Daggett and his men. Can Batman bring Daggett to justice and stop Clayface before innocent people are hurt?

Our Take

The second half delivers where the first one promised, mostly because Clayface is a genuinely creepy villain once he’s fully formed. His shapeshifting makes for some unsettling scenes, and the finale where Batman messes with his head is a clever touch. It drags a bit in the middle with Daggett’s corporate scheming, but the animation during the transformation sequences makes it worth sitting through.
