Batman finds himself in another stinker as he slides into a battle against Clay Face. What he doesn't know is Clay Face is an actor who has been betrayed by a company who donated face cream that perfected his face to any face, such as Bruce Wayne. He impersonates Bruce Wayne and freaks out Bruce's good friend Lucious Fox. Story wise this episode hit a good point into what we see from actors and actresses around the world. A dire addiction they can't get over and end up dying in the process. This really hits home to me and i think this episode it selfs deserves a good pat on the back to recognition to those who deal with addiction in any form of entertainment.
Well besides, that stepping stone, this episode was almost lack of action towards Batman. Besides a couple weak action scenes this episode was deprived of what Batman makes the money off of. However, instead of a good action performance you get a good dramatic performace by Clay Face himself.
Overall, this episode doesn't really deserve a hard 9 but something a little lower. Good episode with some flaws.moreless
Episode Summary
EDIT
An actor who uses a miracle cream to fix the scars left by an accident has the ability to change his face into anyone else's. The trouble is that he has deceived an employee of Bruce Wayne's into thinking the he was Bruce Wayne. This does not go well with Bruce's alter-ego. On top of that, the supplier (Daggett) has lost interest in the actor (Hagen).

TRIVIA (5)
ADD TRIVIA-
When Batman drops Bell into the rooftop pool, the police immediately tell him that he is under arrest. Why would they arrest someone when they don't even know who it is? Even if they saw Bell's face, they have no reason to arrest him.
-
When Germs and Bell catch Hagen in the Daggett Industries laboratory, he turns around and claims he's Bruce Wayne. Surely he doesn't think this will work, since they were with him when he originally impersonated Wayne?
-
When Bell first appears inside the tramway, he isn't wearing his headphones. However, he's suddenly wearing them on his first closeup after Lucius Fox is pinned under the sign.
-
When Bell and Germs catch Hagen before the first commercial break, they're both armed with pistols. After the break, not only is Germs now holding a shotgun, but Bell's weapon has disappeared entirely.
-
The jar of Renuyu that Hagen hurls at the window is empty (or so he claims), but when Teddy looks at it on the floor, it's still got some of the cream in it.

QUOTES (4)
ADD QUOTES-
Bell: (After Germ and Bell pour the beaker of Renuyu down Haggen's throat they take his unconscious body to his car and put him in it) Sweet dreams, slimeball. (Haggen's hand starts to turn to putty and a blob drips off)
-
Batman: Listen up scum wad, 'cause I'm only gonna ask you once. Who was Lucius Fox meeting at the tram?
Bell: Wayne... Bruce Wayne!
Batman: You lying sleaze. You wanna rethink that answer? -
Daggett: Frankly, I think our Mr. Hagen has outlived his usefulness. I want him dealt with.
Germs: But, Mr. Daggett, the man's a master of disguise. He was even before he had his accident and you gave him this stuff.
Bell: Yeah. It's not easy finding somebody who can change the way he looks.
Daggett: (chuckles) You needn't bother searching for him. This is the only place in the world where he can get what he needs. And when his supply runs out... he'll come to us. -
Teddy: You can't go on like this, Matt. You hurt all the time now.
Hagen: You're just my stand in, Lupus. Nobody promoted you to nursemaid.
Teddy: That stuff makes your face like putty, Matt. It can't be good for you.
Hagen: It probably ain't good for me. But unless I only want to do horror pictures, it ain't bad for me either.
