### 3

* Bruce Wayne goes to see Ethan Bennett at Arkham Asylum. He tells him that Wayne Biotech is very close to developing a cure for his powers. Ethan thinks that's great but tells Bruce his thought. He wants to serve his time and rejoin the police force as Clayface. With his power, super-criminals like Joker don't stand a chance. Bruce reminds him that his powers would overwhelm his mind and make him go mad.
* Basil Karlo sees a news broadcast that says Wayne Biotech is working on a cure for Clayface. He doesn't understand why someone would want to give up being able to look like anyone they wish to. Karlo sneaks into Wayne Biotech as a scientist and steals the mutagen. He is caught but before they detain him, he drinks the mutagen to slip through their gates and escapes.
* Bruce and Dick Grayson analyse the footage of the Clayface mutagen theft and match the thief to Basil Karlo, a one-time actor.

### 4

* Basil transforms into a handsome man and tries out for the Waggie-Time Dog Food commercial once more. He turned down again. He then shapes into a werewolf and mauls the casters, which lands them in the hospital. After this, Basil thinks he went too far but realizes that now everyone in Gotham knows who he is, as Clayface. His twisted mind takes this to mean that he finally made it as a celebrity.
* That night, Clayface breaks into Gotham Bank and puts on a performance for the security cameras while he steals from the vault. Batman and Robin cut his act short and a fight ensues. Batman asks Basil why he would become a monster if he wasn't really one. Clayface explains that it was his dream to have the role of a lifetime, and Clayface is the perfect role. Basil traps Robin in a clump of clay and escapes with a large stack of money.

### 9

* Ethan Bennett talks to Bruce about letting him take down the new Clayface since he's the only one who can match his powers. Bruce says no.
* At night, Ethan disguises himself as the floor of his cell. This fools a guard into thinking he escaped and opening the door to look around his cell. Ethan leaves to take on Clayface II. Dick and Bruce get an alert from Arkham Asylum saying Clayface I has escaped. Just as this happens, Wayne Biotech completes their cure for Clayface. Bruce goes to pick up the antidote while Dick tracks Clayface II.
* Meanwhile, Bennett disguises himself as Batman to lure out Karlo. At the same time, Clayface II robs an art gallery, thinking it will get him on the national news. He sees the Bat-Signal, disguises himself as Robin, and crushes Batman with a clay hammer. Ethan reveals that he was Batman as a fight ensues between the two Clayfaces. The battle carries over to the construction site of a bridge. Batman and Robin show and freeze Karlo long enough to tell Bennett about the cure. Ethan says that he has control over his mind now and is trying to turn in Karlo. Batman still urges him to take the cure. At this time, Clayface II breaks out of the ice. Robin agrees with Ethan in that they could use his help in this fight. Batman comes around and the three work together to stop Basil. Their fight causes the bridge to collapse but Batman evades the fall. Ethan covered Robin in his body and saved him from the bridge. Karlo absorbs the steel beams and concrete into his body to make it larger. Bennett morphs into the mound that Clayface II has become and yells at Batman to inject the antidote now. Batman leaps onto the combined Clayfaces and stabs them with the drug. The two then morph down and revert to Human.

### 10

* Doctors at Arkham test both Clayfaces and find a complete lack of powers in Ethan, but Basil still has some traces. The cure did not fully work on Basil as his DNA was different enough from Ethan's. Clayface II is now the only Clayface left.
