The upcoming supervillain spinoff movie "Clayface" has all the signs of a terrific entry in DC's film portfolio, but will it be part of the DCU or expand of "The Batman?"

DC Studios has finally found a director to mold Clayface. After several months of searching, Speak No Evil helmer James Watkins has been chosen to direct the feature based on the Batman villain, which has a script from horror maestro Mike Flanagan.

Based on a script written by horror aficionado Mike Flanagan ("Doctor Sleep"), DC is set to release a standalone spinoff surrounding Clayface. The body-morphing villain is not only getting a solo film but the film is set to take the villain into the horror genre.
