The overdose of Renuyu Daggett's goons forced on Matt Hagen has caused him to turn into a monstrous creature with the ability to shift his body to mimic others' appearances. He plans to exact his revenge on Daggett, even if it means going up against Batman.
morelessClayface says that he can't be an actor anymore because he can't maintain a disguise for long, and he loses his form when he is distracted. However, from right after that scene, he is able to keep his disguises for long periods of time, even when distracted, including when he remained hidden in a television crowd until he was ready to confront Dagget.
It is unlikely that Bruce would be allowed bail after being positively IDed twice by Lucius as the person trying to kill him, especially since the police caught him during the second ID. It is even more unlikely that Lucius would have no protection at the hospital after Bruce was caught in Lucius's hospital room.
At the beginning of the episode, one of the reporters asks Bruce about the charges of assaulting Lucius Fox. The voice of this reporter is clearly that of Brock Peters, the same actor who did the voice of Lucius Fox himself.
Not a Goof: When Batman was questioning Germs, he picks up a jar he says is Crimson Fever and places it on the shelf over Germ's head that would shake closer to the edge when he hit the wall. When he catches it when it falls, the label really says 'Seawater for Analysts'.
When he is putting on his costume after he get's out of jail, Bruce/Batman says that Bell said he didn't know who impersonated Bruce Wayne. Bell didn't say anything like that. He had fainted when Batman was questioning him.
One of Daggett's bodyguards loses his hat when he's knocked aside by Clayface, but it's back on in the next shot.
Germs' trenchcoat mysteriously disappears by the time Clayface gets him to the roof of the hospital, despite the fact that his arms are bound in such a way as would prevent the coat from being removed.
The jar of Renuyu that Batman finds in Hagen's dressing room doesn't match the one from the previous episode at all.
Batman: Look Alfred. A piece of clay left behind when they took Hagen's body away. Watch. (he touches the lump with an electric prode, the lump changes shape a few times then reverts to its original state)
Alfred: Electricity has no effect on it?
Batman: Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if the body they took to the morgue was only a shell. (at the morgue, Clayface's body-like shell disentergrates)
Batman: Don't forget, first and foremost, Hagen was an actor. He said it himself, Alfred. He called it a scene. Maybe the greatest scene of his career... (Teddy is standing outside the morgue)
Teddy: See ya around, Matt. (as he walks away, he passes a young woman)
Batman:...a death scene so real it fooled us all. (the young women starts to laugh madly, her voice starts to sound more manly, and her eyes turn yellow and pupiless, just like Clayface)
Clayface: You know what I'd have given for a death scene like this? Too bad I won't get to read the notices.
Batman: Look at them, Hagen. Look at what you used to be.
Clayface: No. No. Turn them off!
Batman: You can play those roles again, Hagen. Let me help you find a cure.
Clayface: No! Hagen's gone. Make him stop haunting me!
Clayface: You again.
Batman: Hagen... listen to me...
Clayface: There is no Hagen. It's only me now... Clayface.
Clayface: Not even the Batman could stop me, Teddy, and that means Daggett won't have a prayer.
Teddy: Matt... please. Y-y-you don't wanna do anything crazy. Why don't you try to get some shut eye?
Clayface: DON'T YOU DARE PATRONIZE ME! I told you I don't need rest. I don't need food and I DON'T NEED YOU!
Clayface: The formula must have soaked every cell in my body.
Teddy: It's... It's some kind of miracle. [changes back to Clayface] Wha... What are you doing?
Clayface: No. No! You broke my concentration. It won't work. Don't you see? It's too hard. It's like tensing a muscle. I can't keep it up for long!!! MY CAREER, MY LIFE, IT IS GONE. AND I CAN NEVER GET IT BACK. I'M NOT AN ACTOR ANYMORE. I'm not even a... man.
Clayface: Comeback! Comeback? From this! Face it, Teddy. Matt Hagen is history. This time for good. He's never coming back again.
This is labeled episode 21 on the Batman: The Animated Series Volume 1 DVD.
The scene where Clayface was electrocuted was removed during its first airing on Toon Disney (now Disney XD).
At the end when Clayface is morphing uncontrollably, he looks like the villain Eclipso for a moment.
