While the Suicide Squad Isekai is bringing in some tried and true members of the supervillains squad such as Deadshot, Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Peacemaker, a wild card has been thrown in the mix. Clayface, the Batman villain who can take the shape of nearly anything and has a flair for the dramatic, will join the group as they explore an isekai world. To help bolster the series prior to its release next month, the upcoming anime has revealed a trailer that gives us a closer look at Clayface.

In the DC Universe, there have been several villains that have taken on the moniker of “Clayface”. Perhaps two of the most notable include Matt Hagen and Basil Karlo, with the former potentially being the most popular thanks to his appearances on the original Batman The Animated Series. While the latest trailer does feature Clayface’s more monstrous side, it seems that the majority of the series will see the shape-shifting villain taking on a far more dapper appearance.
Clayface Is Coming
If you want to learn more about the Suicide Squad Isekai before it arrives on July 5th, Warner Bros and Wit Studio have released an official description for the series. Here’s how the companies describe the adventure of DC’s biggest supervillain team as they navigate an Isekai setting:
