Clayface Set Reveals Detailed Gotham Map for Upcoming DC Film

A detailed map of Gotham City has been discovered on the set of the upcoming film Clayface in Liverpool. The set photos, shared by user @JackkDoylee on Twitter, reveal a comprehensive layout of the iconic DC location, including significant sites such as Wayne Manor, Ace Chemicals, and the Iceberg Lounge. Each of these locations plays a pivotal role in the lore surrounding Batman and his adversaries.

The map shows Ace Chemicals, historically linked to the origin of the Joker, and the Iceberg Lounge, a well-known establishment associated with The Penguin. Notably, the layout mirrors its geographical position from its appearance in previous films, particularly in The Batman, suggesting continuity within the cinematic universe.

In addition to these landmarks, the map pays homage to the creators of Batman, with tributes such as Kane Memorial Bridge and Finger Memorial Park, honoring Bob Kane and Bill Finger. These details add depth to the film’s setting and highlight its connection to the rich history of the DC universe.

Directed by James Watkins, Clayface features Tom Rhys Harries in the titular role and is part of DCU Chapter One. The film is expected to explore darker themes, with James Gunn noting that it will serve as a “great, smart, fun horror movie,” particularly in the body horror genre. Gunn has indicated that the film, which is penned by Mike Flanagan, will “likely” carry an R rating, appealing to a mature audience.

Scheduled for release on September 11, 2026, Clayface marks an exciting entry into the expanding DC cinematic universe under the guidance of Gunn and Peter Safran. As anticipation builds, fans are eager to see how this film will integrate into the larger narrative of Gotham and its legendary characters.
