Clayface Set Prep in Liverpool Points to DCU Gotham With New GCPD Look

The prop designs suggest the film stands apart from Matt ReevesThe Batman continuity.

Overview

  • Set photos and video from Liverpool show Gotham City Police Department vehicles as production readies to begin.
  • The GCPD car design differs from those seen in The Batman, suggesting Clayface sits in a separate continuity, though props could change in post-production.
  • Additional on-set newspaper props reference Gotham outlets and name low-level villain Jimmy “Red” McCoy, with a blurred image that observers believe could depict a disfigured character linked to Clayface.
  • Tom Rhys Harries is confirmed in the title role, with a story by Mike Flanagan, a recent draft by Hossein Amini, and James Watkins directing; other casting beyond Harries has been reported but not all officially confirmed.
  • Coverage describes the film as an R-rated body-horror entry in the DCU, currently slated for theatrical release on September 11, 2026.
