So grounded and easy to pull off that it's really believable not just for the time but for an actor to have to use on the movie set everyday and a real person known as "the Penguin" to wear as a disguise.

Clayface is just PERFECT! The idea of him being an old big strong man (almost like GoW Ragnarok's Thor) really fits him, and the fact that he's just a man except for the fact that he's made of clay really fits the medieval theme, just like the Green Knight from the "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight" tale!
