James Gunn Clarifies: “Clayface Is Not a ‘Hybrid Superhero Horror Film’, It Is a horror film.”

Fred “The Monster Squad” Dekker!

Its a Mike Flanagan joint? Sold. He's probably the best living horror producer on the planet.

James Gunn is not the type to be a diva as far as I can tell where it’s his way or the highway, and there’s also the specter of overinvolved anti creative suits dictating the creative direction of the DCU which I’m sure he wants to avoid, so I’m sure he respects flanagan’s vision especially given how talented Flanagan is in the horror genre which Gunn understands. This movie is going to have to be really really dark and terrifying for Creature Commandos to make sense though, so buckle up (when that show takes place in the context of the DCU, clayface is already an established serial killer).

Sammy Capulet is my favorite Sean Gunn role

I don’t want cave monsters no thank yooooouuu

Yeah I know. But, I mean, do you mean continuity-wise? Brand-wise? 

You definitely did not watch the series then if you didn't see the Penguin in all of it because there was a lot of Penguin doing Penguin things in it.  Hangman/Sofia Falcone has always been a villain in DC and how they adapted her to be a foil to The Penguin and his rise in the underworld was brilliant.  She was not a "gangster girl boss." She was a sympathetic psychopath who was driving everyone away from her progressively as the series went on until it all collapsed because she was outwitted, outsmarted and outmatched by Penguin's calculated machinations and the sheer corruptibility of those around her. She did not know how to fully play the game and it undid everything she tried to do because she really did think "respect" and "fear" is how one can rule the underworld of Gotham when in the end only money does. Money conquers all, it is as simple as that and Penguin knew how to make it lucrative for everyone involved to go jump ship to his side. Furthermore he knew that the only way to truly retain that power was through politics and going the political angle and corrupting them was the ultimate play in securing him taking control of Gotham's underworld.  He successfully manages to wrap everyone around his finger and cut loose every tie he has that could expose the extent of his crimes.  You should actually watch the show, it's fantastic. 

Umm idk bout this one. Dc ushered in dark gritty comics with watchmen and dark knight returns. They were already headed there wit the neil batman run. Granted marvel had serious shit like tony addiction and death of gwen but that dark edge was born from DC. So much so that the common link is frank miller going on to pen the dark daredevil stuff. Dc was bright cuz of adam west; which would make them marvel of then.

So many

It means that the movie is produced by a company called DC studios and that they approached someone to create a horror movie with a specific character? One of the co-writers was a part of The Haunting of Hillhouse/Bly Manor, Hush, Doctor Sleep, Geralds Game. The director also has a history of horror movies (not great ones, but horror slop is still entertaining). They have a horror guy doing a horror movie, oh my god that’s so crazy.
