Batman: One Bad Day - Clayface #1

[cyberghostface]

 

"There's a monstrous turn to him -- that's what makes it a bad day. This isn't a decent day. That's a different story entirely. This is the day that Clayface gets close. He gets so close to learning the lesson and then ultimately is a villain. This is a tragedy, as all great Batman stories are wont to be. But watching as he struggles and fails, any time one of us has walked up to the brink and said, 'This line and no further.' Clayface steps over that line.

It's fascinating because the book cannot lose its empathy and our perspective on him, forcing the reader to really step into his muddy shoes and explore what it's like to be this guy, even as he's killing to still have the delusional self-confidence and self-worth to keep telling himself, 'This is good, this is right, this is what I deserve.' That was the magic trick that forced us to live in that toxic, self-delusional fantasy for a little bit, which was not entirely comfortable but very cathartic." -- Collin Kelly
