Looks good. I hope they can get the general public interested because I don't think Clayface is well know. Maybe they should have gone even more horror direction.

 

[EviLore]

Going for Cronenberg body horror/transformation but the narration over the trailer is painfully pedestrian. It sounds like a monologue from the CW Arrow show. "You want to know how I feel? The justice system failed me. They stole my career, my money, my life…"

 

[DKehoe]

I think I mentioned this in another thread. But it's weird how live action Batman just isn't really a thing for kids anymore. I guess maybe The Brave And The Bold will change that.

I know I'm in the minority but that trailer was great!

EXACTLY THIS!

 

[KyoZz]

Looks fine. It would be rather ironic if the only good film in Gunn's universe wasn't even originally intended to be in it.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Looks good. Hopefully there's a plot they didn't give away because as interesting as the body horror stuff is to me, surely there's more to it than that.

There is only one hero that can stop him.....and he has a particular set of skills

 

[Trilobit]

Cool effects, but feels like a 6/10 script thus far. Hopefully the movie itself has a great atmosphere and doesn't feel formulaic. I don't really get many horror vibes from it.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Deciding to cut open your eye with scissors in a turbulent airplane bathroom is pretty horrific, imo. But if there's no time constraint, I would've waited until things calmed down a bit. Call me crazy.

Body horror is a different beast than something like Friday the 13th

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Have they confirmed that this movie is Rated R? Looks good so far and I love body horror

 

[IntentionalPun]

The body horror looks pretty crazy and unsettling. That trailer is really corny though.

Yes

 

[intbal]

The first trailer was better. It was mysterious. Left a lot to the imagination.
Should have just left it at that.

 

[deriks]

Yeah but whats his deal?

A project goes wrong and some people are blaming him for something he didn't do it!?

Eh

I thought Together was insanely creepy. So it can be done well. The Substance on the other hand was just weird.

Eh

The trailer is clear: his face was disfigured and the police failed to bring the ones responsible to justice

 

[SJRB]

Positive: weird bizarro body horror makes for a good movie, in theory
Negative: uninteresting casting (seriously, that guy is not a handsome attractive playboy), schlocky story and writing (Mike Flanagan is crazy overrated) and most importantly: this is the third movie in Gunn's DCU after Superman and Supergirl and it is a one-off horror featuring a B-tier villain from the Batman roster. We haven't even seen Batman in this universe yet!

 

[xrnzaaas]

A horror movie from the DC universe? Who's going to watch that? Also a strange casting decision to feature 0 recognizable actors in a 40 million dollar+ flick.

 

[March Climber]

Horror audience will, as long as it's rated R and has decent word of mouth.

 

[JusticeForAll]

So tired of comic book films, but at least this looks somewhat interesting.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Then it would be a 60 million dollar+ flick.

 

[Uncle Moe]

Mike Flanagan is crazy overrated

My man! There aren't enough epic-handshake reacts in the world for this observation.

 

[Uncle Moe]

I liked PENGUIN a lot more than I thought I would. It demonstrated that the DCU, and Batman specifically, has a lot of great material for genre stories that don't feature men in tights (see also: Gotham Central, a fantastic police procedural by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka that's just begging for the prestige TV treatment). All to say: I want to believe that CLAYFACE can do for horror what PENGUIN did for the mafia drama.

 

[GymWolf]

I like the gore already.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I know I'm in the minority but that trailer was great!

I'm looking forward to the movie but compared to the previous trailer, I'm not as excited. I think the movie is gonna to be good though

 

[EverydayBeast]

Genuine Batman villain

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Gave me Darkman vibes, could be decent.

 

[Hugare]

Very bad trailer. First one was much better..

This one looked like any other trailer for an horror movie, no personality, very cliché

I'm not feeling it so far

 

[Urban]

My biggest concern about the movie is that he doesn't actually transform into a monster at all. Instead, it's all happening in his head because he sees himself as ugly, and that's why he perceives himself that way.
