Clayface Rewrite Disappoints Fans, but the Batman Universe Holds Strong

In this Geek Freaks Headlines episode, Frank reacts to the surprising rewrite of DC’s upcoming Clayface film. Originally brought in by horror maestro Mike Flanagan, the project now sees screenwriter Hossein Amini (Drive) taking the reins. Frank shares his disappointment, reflects on the character’s potential, and explains why this shift in creative direction could be a missed opportunity. Plus, he highlights updates from the main Geek Freaks feed, including interviews with producer Caitlin Delaney and comic creator Aubrey Stinson on her new series Free Planet from Image Comics.

Timestamps and Topics:

  • 00:00 First thoughts on the Clayface script rewrite

  • 00:21 The shift from Flanagan’s horror vision

  • 00:37 James Watkins and Matt Reeves still onboard

  • 00:54 Why Clayface is a compelling character

  • 01:07 What’s next on Geek Freaks: Thunderbolts, Caitlin Delaney, and Aubrey Stinson

  • 01:25 Free Planet comic shoutout and wrap-up

Key Takeaways:

  • Mike Flanagan’s departure is a major creative loss for Clayface, as his horror background was a perfect fit.

  • Hossein Amini is a skilled writer but may not deliver the horror tone fans were promised.

  • The film is still in good hands with James Watkins (director) and Matt Reeves (producer).

  • Clayface’s best adaptations remain the 90s Batman: The Animated Series and Harley Quinn.

  • The Clayface film is currently set for a September 11, 2026 release.

  • New Geek Freaks episodes out now cover Thunderbolts and Image’s new comic Free Planet.

Quotes:

“We wanted that horror movie. That’s what was pitched.”
“Clayface is a very unique character that can be super dense... the Batman animated series from the 90s did it perfectly.”
“The fact that [Flanagan's] not attached anymore kind of makes it feel a lot less special.”
