Batman Comics: A Dark Knight Dub
E-Mon sdrawkcab for Clayface / Basil Karlo
Basil Karlo, the original Clayface, was an actor who was driven mad when he heard of a remake of the classic horror film he had starred in, Dread Castle, and that he wouldn't be in the leading role. Adopting the persona of "Clayface", the villain of one of his old films, he became a serial killer targeting the cast and crew. He was eventually stopped by Batman and Robin. Later versions of the character reimagined him as being transformed into a behemoth of shapeshifting, clay-like flesh.
Mad? Oh, yes, the traditional accusation! And next you'll be telling me it's all because I'm misunderstood! All the great monsters were misunderstood! Mr. Hyde-- Frankenstein's creation-- Dracula-- The Golem-- all of them! But not me! Not Basil Karlo! Not the Ultimate Clayface! My intentions will be clear from the start! I will take what I want-- when I want it! And any who stand in my way shall-- burn!
Fools! They play at murder, not realizing that I do not pretend, but shall in reality bring death!
How we, a victimized minority, can lay claim to the fame and fortune that is deservedly ours. - How we can acquire power beyond our wildest dreams! - How can we finally best the Caped Crusader, whose very existence each of us has a reason to hate... the cursed Dark Knight of Gotham City-- Batman! - And how can we kill him!
