Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 21
Feat of Clay Part 2
The follow-up episode is just as good as it’s first part, maybe slightly better. Hagan has become the deformed freak Clay Face. He discovers he can shape shift temporarily and swears to get revenge on Daggett. Meanwhile Bruce Wayne Made bail and is using his Batman detective skills to clear his name and put the blame on Roland Daggett.
Everything culminates to Summer Gleason’s talk show where Roland Daggett is promoting his addictive, cosmetic, make-up. Clay Face pretends to be a woman, confronts Daggett showing what an overdose of the formula can do to people. He tries to kill Daggett, Batman shows up and stops him. In the process he’s able to prove Hagan was pretending to be Bruce Wayne.
Hagan is believed to be dead but Batman suspects Hagan faked his death and actually got away. It’s a rather gloomy and dark twist. One of many great bleak endings the show will have.
Hagan is a true and true bad guy but a person can absolutely understand his quest for revenge. Roland Daggett is by far the worse of the two. He’s unremorseful in his evil. As he appears in other episodes throughout the series, he never cares about the harm he inflicts. Roland Daggett is a low level Lex Luthor for Batman. He’s a ruthless businessman who will do anything to further his bottom line.
Clay Face goes onto be one of Batman’s more formidable foes and his follow-up episodes are as epic as his introduction.
