NOTE TO READER - this review will reveal the true identity of Clayface....if you want to wait and not be spoiled...don't read! -/\/\att
this episode was great!
SPOILERS Joker has a new weapon, a gun that shoots what he calls "Joker Putty", which turns everything into a gooey substance. when sprayed with the puddy, you can mold things into different shapes. at the police station, the chief tells yin and bennett to catch all the freaks, including batman. the pair go after joker, who's on that huge gold statue, molding it into a smiley face. (oh yeah, the purple suit is here to stay!) the detectives show up, as does batman. joker gets away, and bennett tries capturing batman. he gets away. throughout the episode, bruce is deciding to tell bennett that he is batman. joker kidnaps bennett and takes him to a fun house. joker tries making bennett go insane, and it almost works. yin show up, and joker tells her that he'll spray bennett with the puddy if she doesn't put her gun down. she does, but joker decides to spray bennett anyways. batman tosses a batarang just in time, shattering the puddy on the ground. the puddy erupts in fumes, which bennett inhales. joker takes off, and bats follows him. batmn gets joker and knocks him out. yin gets there, but lets batman go, as a repayment for saving bennett. later, the chief suspends bennett. yin tries protesting, but bennett says he doesn't fit on the police force anymore.
later at home, bruce phones benett, and tells him to meet to play basketball the next day, where bruce will tell bennett that he is batman! bennett hangs up the phone, and its revealed that Bennett is turning into Clayface! END SPOILERS
that's so awesome. it was so clever how they did this episode! kudos to greg weisman for a great script! excellent episode!

From what I've read at Toonzone, Ender, Teletoon in Canada is ahead of the WB in it's airing of The Batman. I just saw this episode this morning and it is now my favorite. It's very possible that fans outside Canada haven't seen it yet.

Ooooh, gruesome! I love it! Does the backstory remind anyone of Loeb and Sale's Two Face origin- Wayne about to tell Harvey that he's Batman, just before tragedy strikes? I'm sorry I missed it.

HEY!
TO ANY OF THE FINE FOLKS WHO HAVE SEEN THE EP?
Is Joker barefoot in his suit, or did he finally get some shoes?
This raises a small issue for me. I can totally understand why he'd be barefoot in a straight jacket, I mean, that's the look, escaped maniac - just broke out of a cell - it makes sense he wouldn't have shoes - he's like a wild, untamed crazy guy - the kind that would eat his own feces - totally nuts - I get it - that's cool
WHY he wouldn't have shoes if he bothered to clean himself up with a nice suit just makes no sense. it's not like he's part monkey and needs his feet exposed to do acrobatics and the like - he's weird - but he's just human after all.

Since when did this episode come out? It is in Canada, or did I missed an episode in America?

So, with Bennett becoming clayface does that open up a spot on the GCPD for a young man named James Gordon? Just a thought... ;D

Yeah, its tragic for Bennet, but brilliant for the series!
The first solid sign of progression into something substantial. I LOVE IT!

Damn, Batman's police friend, Bennet is becoming Clayface? Whoa, this series is getting more and more serious................................................................................................and that's hot ;D.
By the way, isn't this going to mess up Clayface's origin? I mean, is Clayface's real identity is Bennet? I thought he was an actor.

[shadow=purple,left,300]Give or take a bit, there are about 5 Clayfaces in the comics. Batman: The Animated Series actually messed up Clayface's origins as well. Matt Hagen was never an actor...
Clayface is the type of villain who doesn't have an origin engraved in stone, so a lot of fans won't (or shouldn't) be complaining. Now, if it was Two-Face or someone else, that would be a different story.[/shadow]

I hope that fans won't get angry at this, because I was the Joker in a Arkham when I read the fans' reactions to Mr. Freeze...... Thanks man.

Good to see the suit (although I'm still holding out for some shoes). The sidekicks, though...well, they're no Harley Quinn, that's for sure.

The shoes thing is really getting me steamed!!! BIGTIME!!!
I mean, with the straight jacket, sure I get it.
BUT why would he not have shoes on if he's bothered to wear a nice suit???!!!
Any theories on what Matsuda and his cronies were thinking?

no, it's that gold version of the statue of liberty or whatever they have in gotham. that one from the first episode, when joker was going to pop this hot air balloon on it.
