If you've watched all of the DCU so far, you may be a little confused by the introduction of Clayface in the animated series Creature Commandos and the upcoming Clayface horror movie.
But wonder no more: DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has 'liked' a post theorizing that these iterations of Clayface are one and the same, with IGN even showing Gunn's confirmation that the Clayface movie is "canon" to troubled actor Matt Hagen's appearance as part of the Creature Commandos.

That's aided by Gunn's previous confirmation that Clayface is going to be set before Superman (and, by definition, Creature Commandos) as an origin story for Matt Hagen, played by Tom Rhys Harries.
In Creature Commandos, Clayface (voiced there by Alan Tudyk) formed part of Amanda Waller's ragtag crew of creatures and miscreants, with his powers of impersonation being used to good effect.
The character has also, notably, been part of the Harley Quinn series – but that's set in a different universe (and, in one moment, even featured a cameo from Gunn himself).
The first Clayface trailer teased a body horror spectacle from director James Watkins and writer Mike Flanagan, but many are still wondering whether Batman will show up given all the Gotham nods in the initial reveal.
Elsewhere in the DCU, Gunn – in his spare time during filming for Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow – has given a handful of updates on various projects. They include Themyscira-set series Paradise Lost (in "extreme development", apparently) and Booster Gold. The Authority movie, though, is currently not happening.
