James Gunn Talks Clayface + More DCU Updates | DCJ News

Published on: 24th April, 2026

The Clayface teaser has officially changed the conversation around the DCU.

This week we talk about the first Clayface footage, the horror tone, how Gotham fits into James Gunn’s larger DC Universe, and why this movie already feels different from anything DC has tried before.

We also get into Gunn’s comments about how different genres can exist inside one shared universe, Matt Reeves producing more Batman related projects, Man of Tomorrow officially starting production, new Lanterns promo, the upcoming Lego Batman game, and a quick shoutout to Matt’s comic work on Phantom Hawk: Resolute!

I've been slinging yuks on stage since 2005 and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. Down in the Carolinas, up in The Buckeye State, over in The Windy City...find me a stage, and let me on it.
