CLAYFACE, the latest installment from DC Studios is the story about Matt Hagen, a rising Hollywood star and Gotham street kid and eventual Bat-Villian, whose career and appearance are ruined after he is brutally disfigured by a local mobster, Markos Szabo.
Desperate to restore his look, Hagen undergoes an experimental nanocell skin graft therapy developed by scientist Dr. Caitlyn Corr.
While the treatment initially works, it triggers grotesque, violent side effects, causing his grip on reality to fracture as he spirals into a destructive quest for revenge
