I REALLY hope they use Clayface in the next franchise

I'm getting tired of rehashing the same old villains especially ones that I PERSONALLY don't find interesting. Catwoman is just on a mid-platform cloud with me. I know I'll get a lot of hate but I think Bane is overrated. Breaking the bat is a big deal, I won't lie but that's really the only thing that people like him for. To me, it's a shame that Bane got to really to be in front of the damn chasm but Two-face and Scarecrow never got to.
I feel like Clayface deserves more recognition. The man can pretty much shapeshift to anything or anyone he wants. Basil Karlo's acting skills also helps. Batman usually really has to think outside of the box to defeat him. Clayface should turn into a group of little fairies, so I can dance with some that I CAN SEE.

List of Batman villains I'd like to see used in a Batman film that have never been used before:
Clayface
Black Mask
Mister Zsasz
Man-Bat
Mad Hatter(mainly because I could really relate the version in the animated series)
Professor Pyg
Killer Croc (Suicide Squad doesn't count)
The Ventriloquist & Scarface
Harley Quinn (Suicide Squad doesn't count)

To be honest the only villain that Nolan used that has really been overused to death is the Joker. Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul and the Scarecrow had never been on the big screen before. Two-Face and Bane had been in the Schumacher films however very poorly done so I don't really count those and yeah the Joker's been done to death but let's be honest it was worth it to see Ledger's performance.

Breaking the bat is a big deal

It wasn't as big a deal as it looked; in Bane's own words, Batman was 'already broken' before they fought.

'Knightfall' was what 'broke' my interest in Batman comics. Alan Grant (who should be ashamed of himself for having been involved in 'Knightfall') had spent the years prior to the 'breaking' of the Bat portraying the Batman as a man who would never just simply give up and accept death, in his work with the great Norman Breyfogle on 'Detective Comics'. That's the 'true' version of The Dark Knight as far as I'm concerned.

I wouldn't be too keen on seeing Clayface in a Batman movie either. For me, 'Scarecrow' has never been used to full effect.

An opinion is not offensive just because you do not agree with it.
