Who's the real Clayface here Batman? The man made of clay? Or the clay made of bat?
>>150721988Anon. If you dont realize that American heroes like him fight to maintain status quo and not save people than I dont know what to tell you.
>>150722030Stfu thirdie
>>150721988There wasn't some threat of it killing him? Or something like that?
>>150721988Bat man did this is the justice League unlimited cartoon and I was very confused
>>150721988>>150722090Yeah OP is retarded and didn't pay attention to the episodeClayface was becoming more unstable in that form and the scientist lady's machine was also making him stronger and harder to deal withSo even if he got the formula to fix it, he would've kept committing crimes because now he can just change into anything without breaking down. He literally tried doing that at the end of Feat of Clay and all it took to beat him was water so he'd still be fuckedIt's also his own fault anyway Batman literally offered to treat him for free and Clayface was still like "No fuck you" at the beginning of the episode
>>150722359Just to correct myself, in Feat of Clay he "died" from getting zapped by the TV system but managed to escape in a female bodyBut in the episode Mudslide that OP is referencing, he was defeated by falling in water and dissolving
>>150722359Because part of the terms for being cured was answering for all his crimes, and he wasn't having any of that.
>>150722420He just stole some shit. That's at best a couple days in jail and some community service. Hagen ruined his life for a fine.
>>150722442Also attempted murder and illegal entry, even if it was against that asshole Daggett. He'd likely end up getting a couple years in the cell, and Batman wants to make sure Hagen serves his sentence. Which is why he doesn't want Stella stabilizing him as that would make Clayface completely impossible to contain
>>150722020Who cares? Rape him anyway
>>150722045Cringe
>>150722045>thirdieNot cool man, it's ivory tower academics who say that bullshit when interpreting comics, no matter the country.t. that one Latinamerican neighbour who is way too eager to push a broom up the thief that what just caught
>>150721988>How dare you try to take one of Baby Brucie's toys away! BABY BRUCIE MAD NOW! WAAAAAAAAH!
>>150722359>Batman literally offered to treat him for freeTAS Batman is often motivated by kindness. Starting with "Batman and Robin Adventures" they made him much more cynical and dour. It went so far that the scene of him being kind to Ace is treated as a surprise aspect of the character.
>>150722412He didn't die. He played a great scene and faked his death.
Clayface did literally nothing wrong in the original animated series, but the soft-reboot where he ate and absorbed his own daughter was pretty fucked up.
So he's able to turn his hand into metal spikes after eating facegel right? how does that work? and why can't he just turn metal to avoid water issues?
>>150723850It was wrinkle cream so strong you could just rearrange your face with it.
>>150723824Thats not his daughter. That's him LARPing as a little girl. Him "absorbing her" is no different from him playing his famous death scene at the end of his first appearance.An act. Not like it's the first time they've done thus kind if thing in a timm batman show.So can we please stop with this wierdo rewriting of history.
>>150723877She had a mind of her own, she literally saved Robin's life from him, and ran away from Clayface in every other instance. Clayface may have made her but he didn't control her mind and body, otherwise he wouldn't have had to hunt her. She was pretty much a product of self-reproduction.
>>150723614Cope
>>150723877His "death" scenes were acts to avoid getting caught. the girl he was chasing kept running away and led him to get caught when he found her.
>>150723877You might actually be retarded
>>150723948The piece of clay he shaped into a girl and made move around? Its not a separate entity. Its him LARPing as that girl. Get it?
>>150723970So he can just create independent life from his own flesh? No, he literally can't. He can create pieces of conscious connected and controlled drones he reabsorbs. I don't fucking care that you conceptualize it as being a real girl. For fucks sake its clothes is skin. Its clayface pretending its a girl.
>>150723979Then why did Claygirl put Clayface on a wild goosechase where he would get caught instead hanging on the down-low and just killing Dagget?>>150724027Yes? think of it like how a Starfish can self-replicate in real life.
>>150723922You could argue she was a robot following her directives to play an innocent girl so much she believes it's real.
>>150723877>>150723948I get the impression that Clayface was developing some sort of split-personality and the little girl was sort of an alternate personality. It wasn't a scheme to avoid getting captured, more like two aspects of Clayface trying to fight for control. (Or more accurately, one trying to get away from the other.)Either way, the little girl wasn't "killed" or "eaten" as it's all just Clayface's mind. And it wasn't some separate person that Clayface spawned out of his ass, it was still just Clayface. Just a more fucked up mental version of him.
>>150723779Beyond was made to tie it together by showing that TNBA was partially the result of him becoming progressively more jaded as the job wore on him.He still went out of his way to protect Ventriloquist in TNBA among other things.
>>150724061For the same reason his loli persona became amnesia. It forgot. He literally cant create separate clay entities from his body. >>150724087And where will the consciousness and awareness come from? The basic personality?Its him. >>150724109Yes. Thats what Im saying. The Annie story us twisted.
TNBA really should have been it's own continuity, turning Batman into a jaded asshole just doesn't feel right with TBAS's version of him being selfless and reflective. also all the redesigns being absolutely nonsensical given it's the same continuity, like Killer Croc having lips again or Penguin having human fingers, or Catwomen being brunette.
>>150724157The Annie story was for all intents and purposes, about a little girl who died, they just made her a clayclone to get past the censors and actually kill off a child on screen to give us an episode where things don't always work out as planned no matter how hard you try.
>>150724157The little girl was himself staying in character flawlessly no matter what. He is an actor committed to the craft
>>150722359I dont understand how people cant understand plots from literal children's cartoons
>>150723779The way I see it, by TNBA, Bruce had become too jaded because his kindness often didn't pay off. Criminals often stayed criminals and it was just easier to assume things probably wouldn't get better because it didn't. Joining the Justice League did him a lot of good and by the end of JLU, he was in a much better place. But then the shit with Tim happened and I'm guessing Gotham failed to meaningfully improve so he just relapsed.
>>150724203That doesn't work because it is in every single way conceptually worse. >>150722359He was fucking breaking down and dying till he got into the machine that was making him human and solid.He wasn't powering up. Hebwas becoming human.
